I am a long time Final Fantasy fan. And in all FF series my absolute favourite character is Oerba Yun Fang. I really love her; she’s strong, independent, reliable and beautiful woman, who always protect her friends and literally will tear down the skies to save loved one. And she’s kinda badass :)

So I wanted to cosplay her as soon as I’ve seen her in FFXIII (her first appearance on screen is just WOW. As is her reunion with Vanille :)). It helped that my friend Luckydakk planned to make Vanille, so I think that was Destiny in motion here :)

I re-made the costume twice, for the first time I realy had no time to finish it. There are a high level of detail in FFXIII costumes, and there are also problems with fabric and materials selection thanks to renders which show the texture of all the details. I re-made my Bladed Lance twice, also.

Most of the problems were with saree border, which I was forced to make from scratch in photoshop (not 1 version of saree border ornament in web is correct, imho) and then order fabric print. Also, her sandals were a pain, as was Bladed Lance. But I managed to finish it and I am SO happy I have a costume of my favourite character ever! Even more happy that I have my Vanille and our photos together :)
