About: I think I have a thing for red hair...but anyway, after about 5 seconds of first meeting Lavi while watching D'Gray man I was hooked. I HAD to cosplay him. Sadly this costume has caused me so much trouble. I've redone the wig many times, keep finding problems with the jacket and now I want to remake the hammer which is the only part I actually have done. I've been working on this costume on and off for well over a year and even if it takes another year or so before I'm happy with it I WILL finish it.

About: I seem to end up doing almost every version of Yuffie, so it just had to be done.

I actually really like this costume and for as simple as it is its actually pretty freaking perfect compared to the manga. Only problem is, of course, noone know who the hell I am when I wear it. That can get annoying after awhile lol.

About: Alviss won a special place in my heart from his first meeting with Ginta. I mean seriously, beating the shit out of Ginta just because he can. I remember thinking to myself "he's a cocky little bastard...I LOVE HIM" but as the series went on I realized he wasnt that much of a cocky little bastard, but he was still freaking awesome. I do really love the way this costume came out. I do want to remake the boots but above all else I need to find a new way to make his ARMs. Once I remake the ARMs Alviss WILL return to the convention world.
