Description At the request of ~PhantomSpider , I've sketched out detailed dress designs for Rue and Ahiru's princess dresses in my Princess Tutu Doujinshi, SchwΓ€ne Zwei .

Of course... unlike the notes on the deviation, the outer-skirt is actually darker than the cloth used for the shoulder and collar of Ahiru's dress in my art. My original concept had that upper section of her top as a sheer yellow-gold material, but when writing up the dress design, I realized how impossible that would be to actually apply. Since the real world has things like fabric weight/stress and seams to deal with.

~PhantomSpider and her sister asked permission to try to do cosplay of the AU princess versions of Ahiru and Rue, that might be finished in time for Acen 2008. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Princess Tutu is copyright Ikuko Itoh, Junichi Sato, and ADV Films.
The designs used in "SchwΓ€ne Zwei" are of my own work, and please do not use them without asking permission for any purpose outside of fan/gift art.

May I have your permission to create a dress using this design if I provide credit where credit is due and post picture here on deviantart?

You have permission. Thank you for asking!

Be sure to shoot me a link to pictures when you finish. Also, if you endup wearing it to an anime con, let me know, I'd love to see it in person (or harass one of my friends to keep an eye out) if it's a con that it's at all possible to do so.

Of course! (if I ever get enough money to go and enough time away from school work and Japanese language class to get to a con of course!) I was thinking of making the costume changeable, like maybe the skirt being removable to make it a tutu??

I will, and if I end up redrawing the design with more detail and depth I will definitely post it with pictures of the dress!

I really love this design is it okay if I borrow it to actually make a dress like this cause you see this would be an awesome dress for Kumori-con's Masquarade ball if I am able to successfully make it in time I'll post up pics and Still have you as original owner ...is that okay

If you're going to use it for a Masquerade competition, you do understand that I'll expect it to be mentioned as a part of the entry that I did the design, right?
Other than that, it's perfectly fine. Thank you for asking first. I really appreciate that.

I'll defineately want to see how it turns out if you're able to complete it.
Good Luck.

This is beautiful! o:

I know how to make Ahiru's standing little hair thingie with my natural hair. :3

But it requires lots of hair gel, hair spray, and constant maintenance.

Thanks. I worked hard to come up with this dress originally.

Evidently! I've requested pictures for after. No way I can make it to the con myself.

Thanks. I really needed to for my own sake as well as hers. Does nobody any good to leave the details floating about in my head.

Yeah. Creative wheels have been going on for a while, and now I have a really good idea of their costumes. Should be soon.

I think I've already found the wig for her! I'll have to trim the bangs a bit, and there's no way I can get the "feather" of her hair, but woo!



I'll show these to my sister once she's done gossiping with my mum. XD

Squee! Can you send me a link for what wig model you're looking at? Like I said, I may be attempting this myself in a year or so.

Oooh. I think That'll work well. If you Google about online or ask in the cosplay.com forums, I bet someone can tell you how to create Ahiru's antenna.

PhantomSpider In reply to elfgrove [2008-01-13 04:03:06 +0000 UTC]

I actually sometimes get that naturally in my hair. :3 When I wake up, one of my bangs sticks up, it's hilarious.

I'm so very Ahiru. My sister just looked at these, and she saw the "Wobble" and said "That's you!" ^_^;

Haha. That's awesome. My hair's too thin to do anything like that.

I'm glad I included the wobble chibi then!

Your design for Ahiru's dress inspired a pic that I did^^ I haven't put it up, but it's the first of a set of 4 with them dressed in royal wear. I love Ahiru's dress in your doujin!
