Ayane (Siren Suit) - Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball

Worn by: Lilacwire Complete: June 2006 Status: Active Photos: Californiacosplaytimes.com, Fleur-de-Cosplay, just-a-dream.net

Ayane's Siren suit turned out to be rather difficult to make because the fabric Lilacwire chose wasn't stretchy at all; rather, it was regular jean material.  The only swimsuit fabric she could find was too dark for the reference photos, so she opted to make a suit that was custom fit.

Most of the work came for the bottom of the suit.  The top was easy because all it had to do was stretch around the back and have the right slanting shape around Lilacwire's side.  The bottom needed to contour correctly around her body, so she spent quite a while with some measuring tape and paper, working it all out.

The glasses were pre-purchased at Kohls, but match the purple glasses Ayane is bought during the course of the game.
