Honda Tohru – Fruits Basket

Made for: Katsucon 2004

Background: Thought this would be fun and simple to put together.

Journal Entries: Read more at my Tohru tag

Patterns Used: Simplicity 7162 for the top – possibly.

Uniform: The skirt I bought on ebay, and then matched my fabric (navy blue cotton) for the top to it. I used a shirt pattern for it (pretty straight forward. I THINK it was the one above, only one in my pattern index that looks like it could be it…), and lined it in the white trim. It buttons closed. The collar I made using my Jupiter collar as a pattern, using matte white satin, and sewed the blue ribbons on – it is not attached to the top and the center part of the collar is white stretch knit so it has some give when put it on over the head. The cuffs I made out of the same white matte satin, and sewed onto the jacket sleeves.

Accessories: The shoes and socks I had – they’re not accurate, but I was trying to reuse things. I made the hair ribbons out of yellow satin ribbon glued to barrettes.

History: A fairly simple costume – easy & fun to wear. Had a great time getting pics with other Fruits Basket characters 🙂
