Ayane c. 2 - Dead or Alive 2: Hardcore

Worn by: Lilacwire Complete: October 2003 Status: Retired Photos: All courtesy Laura @ just-a-dream.net

This costume started as a whim, but as Lilacwire made her other two Ayane costumes she realized how much fun she had being this character. She used the Vogue 7748 pattern and bought a pair of exercise pants that she hemmed to the correct length. Lilacwire re-used my wig from the first costume, but had to make a completely new bow.

Lilacwire painted the shoes using craft paint on top of leather. The white stripes up the sides of the leg covers are white electrical tape (which also tape the covers to Lilacwire's legs).

The ruffles on the shirt are completely hand-made.
