Mana (Christmas) - Malice Mizer

Worn by: Lilacwire Complete: October 2002 Status: Retired Photos: just-a-dream.net

Lilacwire has never made a costume that shed so much in her life! Working with a boa was definitely an experience to learn from, and one she's not sure she would jump into again in the near future. Cutting and tying off the darn things was a lesson in patience. What was fun, however, was modifying the costume.

Lilacwire ended up lining the white fabric because she didn't want any of my skin underneath to show through. The fabric was very light, but once both sides were put together, it made a nice barrier against the snow, which happened on Halloween.

The nice thing about this costume was that she got to re-use elements from my Gardenia Klaha costume, including the boots, pants, and gloves. For makeup she used Ben Nye MagiCake Aqua Paint Cosmic Blue color.
