Why I made it

Orihime was one of the few characters from Bleach that I actually liked and she jumped out at me right from the start. She and I are very similar in a lot of ways and it was a solid choice for a simple, easy-to-wear costume.

How I made it

The pants and shirt I picked up from a thrift store and modified by adding stripes to the pants and petals to the shirt. I was lucky enough to find the most beautiful wig on ebay and the hairpins were a gift from my friend. The shoes are a basic pair of yellow keds.

Final thoughts

For such a simple, last-minute costume, I really enjoyed wearing it. I'm surprised I wore it as many times as I did!
