Inspiration // I've always wanted to make at least one costume of Princess Ai, ever since reading the manga. I chose this one because it caught my eye when I first saw it. She's a muscian and I'm a muscian so it fits.
Motivation // I started working on this for AX08 last year, but I didn't finish it in time. Then at the last minute I decided to complete it for AX09. I finished making the wings the day that I wore it. The corset I bought a long time ago at hot topic. The skirt is 3 layers using leftover materials from other costumes. I wanted to be creative so I changed some things here and there from the reference pictures. The guitar is real, of course.
