Click on the name of a costume to see more information on it. Included in each costume's section are reference pictures, reasons why I'd like to do the costume, how I plan to go about obtaining the costume, and any other relevant notes.
Also, you may notice that there are quite a number of costumes on this list. In reality, I will not be able to do them all, and some are more likely to get done than others for various reasons. I also include a likelihood of each costume coming to fruition and reasons for such.

"What secret version?" you ask? Well, this is an idea I've had for a Yuna costume for a while, and so far, I haven't seen anyone else do it. Because of this, I'd rather keep my mouth shut and keep my idea to myself until I'm able to finish the costume so that my idea can remain (hopefully) my own. ^_^
In terms of priority, I probably wouldn't even get started on this costume until after I finish songstress Yuna.

Final Fantasy VIII

I love Final Fantasy VIII, I love Julia's dress, I love the song "Eyes on Me," I love to sing, and I especially love to have costumes I can sing in. Because of all those reasons combined, I'd like to try and tackle Julia Heartilly some day. I've never made a dress before, though, so I think I'd want to get my hands on a similar pattern first.
If my friend does a Laguna costume, the probability of my doing this will go up a lot.

After suggesting to my boyfriend an Archer cosplay, he got really into Fate/Stay Night and became excited about doing the character. In order to do a couple cosplay with him, I will do Tohsaka Rin.
I have already bought a black pleated skirt. When it comes time for it, I will probably make the shirt, but for now I'm waiting for my boyfriend to have time to get to Archer.

I love Tommy's music and her quirky sense of humor. When I saw the PVs for "I'm Gonna SCREAM+" and "Pray," I also fell in love with her costumes.
The one I'd like to do the most is her sword-wielding costume from "Pray" (not pictured) It's such a cool costume, but the mass of accessories would make it expensive. I don't even know where to begin looking for a necklace like the one she has.
The next costume from "Pray," I'll call it Tommy-hime, is cute, but I don't think it would flatter me very well (same with the sword-wielding costume, too). I simply adore the little wristlets and ankletts she has, though. I've already designed a wa-loli outfit based on this costume. I'm not sure when I'll have time (and money) to construct it, though.
The scythe-wielding costume from "I'm Gonna Scream" is probably the simplest and I was planning on doing it for Halloween a year ago. But, due to unforeseen expenses however, I had to forego it.
Since then, Tommy has also released "Heavy Starry Chain," which introduced her Snow White-esque black outfit. It's uber adorable and is now on the top of my list of possible Tommy cosplays.

I love Sheena's outfit and I would be able to sew it myself. Those are two huge factors that increase the chance of me making this costume. However, I've never played Tales of Symphonia. That's a pretty large factor that decreases the chance of my making this costume, however, I can circumvent that obstacle when the Tales of Symphonia OVA is released. If I like Sheena's character after watching it, the possibility of me doing this costume may go up more.

Talim (3P version)/Talim
Series:
Method:
Probability:

Soul Calibur II/III
commission (main costume)
commission (props & accessories)
Probable (60%)
|
|
|
Since I was first exposed to Soul Calibur II back in Japan, I enjoyed playing the game and Talim quickly became my most used character. One of my friends commented that they thought I looked like Talim, and that sparked the idea of cosplaying her. Though her first player outfit is cute, I don't like exposing all of my stomach. The second player outfit is also cute, but a little too pink. Now the third player outfit is different, but cute and also more modest than the other two. Also, I usually have Talim wear this costume when I play her. That makes this costume the most ideal for me to cosplay, but it also seems a little out of my league with all of the details and the headpiece. Thus, I might have to commission all or parts of the costume.
When the character designs for the third game were released, I couldn't help but think that Talim's new costume was very similar to her third player costume and just as cute. It's also just as detailed and would also require me commissioning all or some of the costume.
Ultimately, I think it'd be one or the other, not both. It's just a matter of deciding which one I'd rather do.

Fushigi Yuugi is one of my favorite anime series of all time. While Miaka's not my favorite character, I always thought that the Suzaku no Miko garb she wears is very pretty. My real inspiration for wanting to do this costume is looking at it and realizing, "Hey! I think I might be able to make this!" While this is true, I think I would rather hold off on doing this costume until after I'm done with others and/or until I have a group to cosplay it with.

This was almost my first cosplay, but for various reasons, I decided not to do this costume. If I do get around to it, the version I'll probably end up doing will be the US version, if only because I already have a choker I can use.
While the costume itself is pretty simple, it would be nice to have a camera obscura. Short of buying and old camera (which could get expensive) and altering it, though, I'm not quite sure how I'd do it. The bellows part of the camera in particular is where I'd be stuck.

Viki

Suikoden IV/V
self-make (main costume)
Maybe (50%)
|
|

I've never played a Suikoden game, but I can't help but look at the characters and pick out ones that I'd want to do a cosplay of. I think the first time I perused a gallery of Suikoden characters, it was for Suikoden III. At that time, Viki's costume was one of the ones that caught my eye. Since then, the fourth and fifth games have come out. I still like Viki's character design, but in particular, I like her costume in IV the best.
If, however, my friends decided to do a group cosplay for Suikoden V, I would also consider doing Viki from that game.

Utawarerumono
Self-make (main costume)
Maybe (50%)

When I started watching Utawarerumono, I wanted to cosplay Eruruu. She's just so adorable! Her costume is similar enough to a yukata that I would be able to make it and it seems like it would be very comfortable to wear. I expect the most challenging parts will be painting the designs on the trim of her costume, making the blue collar of her costume, and trying to make her ears, as I've never made ears before.
Since finishing the series and moving onto others, my desire to do this costume has diminished somewhat.

These are all costumes that were either once on my list at some point, but have since been pushed down by other costumes or those that I've pondered but don't yet know enough to commit to.
