Mari Illustrious Makinami

Finally a photo of my Mari Cosplay I'm not really satisfied with the photos, but since it will take some time until I'll make new photos of it, I'll just upload this one


Mari is a great character! I already liked her after the first sentence she said in the movie, and I thought "what a crazy girl O_O". And because Maaya Sakamoto is her voice actor, I like her even more
Also I just love that school uniform, AND of course I love glasses! Yay finally a Cosplay with glasses So it didn't take me long to decide that I need to cosplay her! I always was a fan of Evangelion, so I really wanted to cosplay from it finally.
The pattern on the skirt is all sewed by myself, so it was quite much work, but I'm kinda satisfied with the overall result. Also I really love my wig and of course the glasses!
But it was a little hard to figure out whether Mari is wearing a pleated skirt or not, and whether her hair and tights are purple or brown, as it was different on every picture I found. So I made a normal skirt, and have brown wig and tights, as I think that's how it looks in the Anime...
I wore this Cosplay first on Saturday and Sunday at the Connichi in September 2009. Almost nobody recognized my Cosplay, as the movie wasn't really well known in Germany back then, but I was happy about the maybe 3 people who did recognize it


I'm still wearing my old necktie in this photo, now I have a better one, and I also remade the alice band.
And my tights are actually brown, but they look kinda dark in this picture!

Anyways much love to Evangelion and Mari
