Selphie Tilmitt - Final Fantasy VIII

Lilacwire notes for this costume: Thanks, Mom. She didn't know how to use a sewing machine at the time this costume was made, so she relied on mom for much of that help. She did insist on topstitching and the full length zipper, however. There isn't much to this costume.

For fabric she bought white denim and dyed it yellow using Rit dye. For the pattern Lilacwire used Butterick 6068.

The nunchucks were made from wooden dowel rods bought at a hardware store with a chain drilled into each end. Power tools were compliments of Lilacwire's dad.  They painted each rod and let them hang dry. The silver seals are cut aluminum tape, and the black rings on each end are rubber washers.
