PRINCESS JUPITER
Series: Sailor Moon
If you say you have never seen Sailor Moon you’re a filthy liar and are now banned from my site. Like many of you, my first anime was Sailor Moon and I’ve loved it ever since I pretended to be Sailor Venus at recess in 2nd grade. For my first cosplay, I wanted to go as a character I was familiar with so it seemed only natural to go as one of the characters I knew and loved best. (I was dubbed Jupiter because I have brown hair - complex, I know.) However, instead of going as the scouts original fukus, our group decided that we wanted to do their manga dresses which, at the time, were very rare so we thought it would be cool to cosplay the dresses. The dress was made entirely by my Mom. The bodice and skirt are separate pieces made from the same fabric.The bodice is lined in the same flowy cream fabric of the skirt and closes in the back with crystal buttons. My friends and I wore our dresses to our first con, Acen 2003. Of course, we were big n00bz and expected everyone to know who we were cosplaying as (we have rainbow dresses, thus we MUST be Sailor Moon characters!) but only two people recognized us the entire con. Kind of deflating for a first cosplay experience. However, since then, the dresses have become very popular and I’ve had many opportunities to wear it since! It’s truly amazing how much things can change in 3 short years and I'm glad I've been able to wear it so many times. This costume is currently for sale - please email me if you have any questions.
