So I went for a trip to the dark side...I chose a villain to cosplay.
Her name is Rosalia and she is from the hit anime series Sword Art Online.
I fell in love with her outfit and even though she is evil, one cannot help but admit that she is pretty smart.
She leads a guild for crying out loud, and it took people how long to realize that she was the mastermind? lol

Anywho, I started her in November 2012 in preparation for Katsucon 2013. I barely had her done in time regardless. xp
My armor unfortunately failed due to freak heat on the trip to the con. I tried to fix it with what little I had and it failed even more so.
Back to the drawing board!

Regardless, this cosplay made me happy. Despite the high slit and low cut neckline, this was probably one of my most comfiest cosplays to date.

Here is to hoping I can remake her armor and touch up the little things that I wasn't satisfied with soon!
