Video game: Parasite Eve
Debuted: Anime USA 2005, Anime USA 2006

Notes: This costume was a quick project of two days in total. Parasite Eve is my all-time favorite video game! I have always wanted to cosplay as Aya Brea, and I finally did it when I had some shiny black fabric lying around, and a blonde wig to use at my disposal. I already had the shoes as well, so this was a really low cost and fast costume for me to make for an upcoming convention between my busy hours spent studying. The wig was a horror that ended in me having to put extensions into the back of it; it was made from my old Ashley Graham wig. I almost gave up on it and threw it away in mid styling...but It somehow came out okay. I was not 100% happy with that wig, so I did end up re-styling a new wig, and it came out much more accurate looking!
