Asuka – Neon Genesis Evangelion (Plugsuit)

Made for: Anime Expo 2003

Background: Back then, it was in your official cosplayer contract to do at least one Evangelion plugsuit costume at some point in your career. (Image on the banner above from Orobouros!)

Bodysuit: I bought a red bodysuit online. I cut the sleeves off, and made new ones out of black spandex. I kept the upper part of the red sleeves and padded them to make the shoulder “armor.” I bought a pair of red gloves, and made black palm pieces out of the black spandex and attached them. The stripes were ribbons sewn on, and the smaller stripes were drawn on. Added the blue collar, and made the green chest stripe seperately and sewed it on.

“Armor”/Hard Pieces: The armbands I made out of foam, covered in red fabric. The chest pieces were shoulder pads covered in leftover vinyl from Misato. All of the silver round pieces were painted wooden discs, sewn on. The backpack was made out of foam, painted, with attached straps.

Shoes: The shoes I made out of an old pair of shoes I had laying around – I cut them up and covered them in red fabric.

Accessories: The wig and sync clips I had from my previous Asuka (sundress) costume.

Sundress: I’ve also added a photo of my Asuka sundress from 2001. I bought it on ebay and wore it to a couple of cons before selling it.

History: This was so great to wear! The best part was getting pictures with Ainslye, PsychoShinji and Eurobeat King at Katsucon 2004.
