(Cont. the next part almost makes me tear up)

Makoto Nanaya cosplay finally came in, and just looking at it before even trying it on I know it won't work.
Don't ever buy from CosplayHouse guys, this shit took four months to "make" and the thigh high socks are fucking mid calf socks (which actually made me laugh)
But in all, this is a good thing because I'm inspired to make my own Makoto Nanaya Cosplay and use nicer material and shit and learn how to sew. This is gonna be my first hand made cosplay and I'm gonna use this bullshit one as a reference but hopefully I can work hard and enter in a contest for the first time ever.
