Description
Another commission just finished! Temari's Time Jump outfit, in the anime colors this time (the original one I did was the "manga" colors - purple and pink).I <3 this outfit, too. It's the darn perfect easy, comfy convention costume, even with the fan on the back.
Three tries later, I got the fan holster to work out! The fan in the holser isn't a finished one, obviously, but it is the exact same size. The holster isn't too hard to get on, either, and is comfy for a long period of time, because the weight distributes very easily. Plus, now you can get the fan on and off super quick for pictures, with minimal work and contortionism (did I even spell that right?)
Umm... other than I look like a goon (that's what happens when you use a tripod with a timer for pictures of yourself XP), I dun have much else to say~

i have an idea as i am making this costume right now haha... for the hositer... on the back of the Sash... the one worn around the middle add uhh. dang i dont know how to put it in words... ><
like on the fan it's self. put a button... like a snap button on the main frame... i have ahuge fan tho sooooo... lol i'm so accurate when it comes to costumes its scary.
and have a sanp on a piece of grey harder fabric that can snap to that and then it goes around the fan... securing it closed and then it snaps again...
>< never mind. good costume... btw...
but as soon as i can get some pics i'll show u okay. the snaps make it really easy to get on and off... an it's like in shippuuden Where u click it into place the straps are extra support so nothing rips ^^...

Wow that looks awesome!! I love the way you have the red sash wrapped around to hold the fan like that!
I'm trying to work on an outfit like this as we speak, any tips?

Thank you!
I don't know about tips, I just kinda made it

Haha, yeah that did look annoyingly complicated to figure out. x3
And okay, thanks!
A few questions, and sorry if i don't make sense, but, is that a T style of the kimono? My dad and I are probably starting from scratch, with a piece of black fabric we're gonna modify etc. and he said that the way he looks at all the pics they seem like a "T-style" made to fold around the body. What did you do?
Sorry if that didn't make sense @_@
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That makes perfect sense!
It's actually not quite a T shape, the sleeves are separate. I just made this tutorial (hopefully it's easy to follow) [link] about how I generally do kimono and whatnot, and her's isnt' much different from this!
The T shape would work great, too, but I haven't done any that way, simply because me and my commissioners aren't skinny enough to fit it correctly on one piece of fabric laid out XP It might simply be easier to do that, way, and a little less sewing, too. The hardest part I encountered for this outfit was getting the neckline so that the back lays nicely, and that was pretty much the driving force to make the tutorial
Also, I know she normally doesn't have the neckband (although some of the pictures are kind of vauge to it, since it still lays up on her neck as if she had one), so if you plan on doing it that way, just remember you'll have to face the outer edge with something, and I highly recommend getting some extra wide bias tape (single fold works fine for htis), since it will curve nicely around the overlap

Oooh I downloaded the tutorial, looks good! I'll see what my dad thinks, he's helping me make the outfit since I'm still iffy with the whole thing >>;
T shape might work best with me, cuz i'm rather petite, though like I said, I'll show my dad what you said and ask his opinion.
Thanks for all the advice!! It really helped ^_^ All of your outfits look amazing! I showed one of my friends and he's like "@_@ wow!" Hehe, it's pretty funny. But yeah, awesome work ^^
Thanks again! I may bug you later asking for more help <.< >.> I'll make sure to post a picture up later of each cosplay outfit I make once I'm done (and get my camera working).

Very cute, Temari really IS a comfy costume!^^
The way I did it was much simpler: I simply stuck the fan in the back of the obi behind the "bow". It required that I remove it before sitting, but less troublesome XP
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Definitely much easier! And probably just as comfortable, too (or moreso!)
I originally had another sash that you just tied the fan up with, but too many commissioners were like "I want to be able to quickly take it off my back, and in this picture, she has some wrap around it". And then I cried a little on the inside, and said "okay, I'll figure out how to do it." XP

I stole it from my Grandpa's camera XP He didn't mind, tho

Again it looks so perfect. That's cool how you've even got the fan holder to work.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I was actually amazed that the holder worked - I had tried three or four times before, and they all didn't work out at all *sigh*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's what i thought. I tried to make it once and it didn't work out at all.

What I wound up doing was just taking a rectangle of fabric, and having it wrap around the fan, and I had two snaps on it, so it could be adjusted how tight it would snap. The trick of wearing it is having the thicker end of the fan towards the top, so it shouldn't slip out... I can sketch it up if you'd like
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah it might help a little more to have the sketch. Please?

It's uber comfy, but not too difficult to make, just a little time consuming XP

fan holster, eh? I might have to check out the anime. What series is this from?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's from Naruto

Oh yeah! What a fan. I've seen people in anime fight with some weird things, but never a fan. Cool!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe, I <3 people who fight with fans because it makes absolutely no sense! I think it's cool
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Same. But fighting with them does look really cool in animation. I looked it up on youtube.

Awesome. You can threaten to smack someone with a fan if they try to do something to you. X3
Geeze, what's with me and all these violent thoughts? XD; Must be the summer heat... D:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nothing wrong with violent thoughts! Especially when they're involving a giant fan
