Nakuru Akitsuki
Card Captor Sakura
SOURCE Card Captor Sakura
VARIATION School Uniform
COST $80?
HOURS TO MAKE 15-ish
COMPLETED March 2003
STATUS Retired
WHY I MADE IT
I was getting ready for my first anime convention, and I wanted to cosplay. At the time, I was 16, and thought I could only really cosplay characters who were my age. I loved CardCaptor Sakura, and since no one ever seemed to cosplay Nakuru, I decided to cosplay her. It seemed like a good choice, since she is the only character in the series who wears the girls version of the Seijou Highschool uniform, so I wouldn't be mistaken for anyone else.
COSTUME CONSTRUCTION
The blazer, inaccurate as it is, was purchased at JCPenny's. The skirt and tie were made for me by my Nana, using navy blue twill. The shirt and socks were also purchased at JCPenny, and the loafers (which have gone on to be of great sue to me in all my cosplay years) were puchased at Payless Shoes. Not really and construction in this costume...
The pictures below are from 2007, when I dragged this out of retirement for an easy Sunday costume. I had used my own hair for Nakuru years before, so I did the same again, only this time my hair was too short... I styled it with the idea that I could be Sakura in her Highschool Days. >.>
