I stand corrected, the shiny Ninetales cosplay may actually be a go. She just finished it and is all ready to ship. XD

Wasn't cheap, but she showed me the pictures and it's insanely good and I think it's worth it. She definitely worked hard on this one. I was originally going to use it for conventions and stuff, but hey, this can work too. XD

Wow have you got it yet? I wanna seeeeeee!

Wow have you got it yet? I wanna seeeeeee!

I wanna see it too! I haven't gotten it yet, but it's on its way. I commissioned this thing WAYYY back in early January thinking I could attend some conventions and stuff with it. For the one convention I went to, I didn't have anything that would really fit and it was kind of disappointing to go without a cosplay when so many others had one. Well, some big life events and other huge rush projects came up for her and it took a bit longer than expected, but it's finally done. I had to keep poking her for updates every month because I didn't want it to get forgotten about. She was really cool about it, though.

She had to ship it to me with the tails unstuffed because when they're stuffed, it goes beyond the maximum shipping size and only would have made it way more expensive. So I had to buy the 20 pounds worth of stuffing myself and I do that part of the job when it comes in. And all that is just for the tails. It shipped all the way from the Netherlands and currently, the package tracking says it's now in the USA and it has gotten its way through customs. So it shouldn't be too much longer. It looks like insane fun to wear. Very warm, I imagine, but Ninetales is a fire-type after all. But really, she did an awesome job on it. I wouldn't hesitate to commission something from her again, but she seems really swamped with orders and I wouldn't be surprised if she stops taking commissions for a while. I've seen some of the other cosplays she's done and they're INSANE. This girl has SERIOUS jaw-dropping skill and talent. She's cool and friendly, too.

I'll show some pictures when I have it, since what she showed me was what she had on a mannequin display with the tails unstuffed. And she showed it to me in separate pieces with no fully-assembled version. The only thing I haven't quite figured out yet is where I'm going to keep this. Might be too big for my closet! XD

Wow Neo that is crazy! I was gonna ask about the tails. xD I'm guessing you won't be sitting down in this costume haha! Looking forward to seeing it once you've got all the tails finished! :D

Yeah, sitting down just ain't happening! XD

Anyway, I just tried on the main part of the suit without the tails and it feels soooooo soft. Wow. Fits perfectly too, which was something I was a tiny bit worried about even though I gave her my exact measurements (I've had bad experiences in the past with this kind of thing). But really, the main suit feels incredibly cozy. Now it's really just a matter of stuffing the tails, setting up the harness that holds them up, and making it come together.

Sounds amazing! xD How did you stuff the tails? Did they have zips or something or do you have to sew them up yourself?
