I'm soooo happy with how this group came out!! Giana and Amanda looked amazing, and it was great getting to work on the costumes together!! Seiya is one of my dream costumes and I'm really happy I finally mustered up the emotional fortitude to make him!! I did my make up as manly as possible then added eyelashes in an attempt to look more manly and dashing, which I hope worked.
The boots are bootcovers that are interfaced at the top to keep the points stiff, which was also done with the gusseted gloves. The shorts are lined in black spandex which the yellow is doubled over and sandwiched between, the bra is a bra top with pieces interfaced and hand sewn over it. The blue bra straps are satin elastic as is the stomach piece. The fuku is interfaced with cotton. The center pieces on the bra were made by our lovely Healer, Amanda!! The Gold headbands were made by myself and Amanda, and the ear pieces were a collaborative effort between all three of us!! I'm upset I'm not more manly and had a lot of boob issues (if they were completely in the bra they looked MASSIVE and that was bad, but then I had a ton of underboob......idk man fucking boobs) but this is a dream costume of mine with a dream group. I can't wait to wear Seiya again!!!!
They look super hot in those boots! However I can clearly see that they are pairs of high heels/pumps wrapped up in tight leather. Real thigh-high boots are probably 'expensive', huh?
And I strongly believe, Starlights are very difficult to cosplay
