WHY I MADE IT
I had only one motive for cosplaying Light; Rynn and I had come up with a Death Note skit, we needed a Light, and Rynn thought that between the two of us, I would do a better job with playing him. Of course, once I got into it, I had WAY too much fun.
COSTUME CONSTRUCTION
I did almost no work on this costume. The wig was a salvage job- I had bought and cut the wig for my Haku costume, but it kept curling under and just wouldn't work for Haku's severe cut. I was able to trim it up, pull more hair forward for the bangs, and BINGO!
The shirt, pants, and belt were all purchased at Value Village. The tie was one of Heather's old choir ties, and the shoes were just a pair of black slip one that I already owned. Easiest costume EVER.
