Soi Fong cosplay help-*
I'm cosplaying as Soi Fong and I need help with her outfit!! (as a shinigami captain, not a Covert Ops one) I think I pretty much got her hair part down pat, but I need her outfit part!! T_T I'm willing to buy it, but I rather make it, instead of spending moolah...>_< Any suggestions? OOH - especially her katana Suzumebachi...I don't know WHERE to begin with that...

if you want the katana version, and you are cheap, this guy has a great tutorial on cardboard katanas.

for her outfit. Go to a fabric store a pick up a pattern for a haori. i think thats what they are called. its pretty much a short kimono. You might just want to buy a kimono pattern since you need to make the captains jacket anyway.
for the pants. if you want an accurate hakama, you might as well just buy one. They are a pain in the but to make (i had to help my friend with one, but she just ended up buying one). Shoes. yay! another link! http://forums.cosplay.com/showthread.php?t=66383
