Phoebe Costume

I've been waffling for weeks over whether to share this costume, but what the heck here goes.

I've always been fond of Phoebe's costume, ever since I saw it nine years ago when first playing Pokemon Ruby. I'm not sure what it is about it... it's skimpy, yes, but there's plenty of skimpier outfits out there. It's certainly not the flowers... heck, I still haven't gotten around to making those for this costume (I do have an idea how to make them work, though, using pink foam sheets and hair clips). Maybe it's the skirt... that thing is amazingly comfortable on a warm day ^^. Anyway, I'm really proud of how well this costume came out and wanted to share it with you all, yet the amount of flack male-to-female cosplayers get has made me put it off for a few weeks... I'm still hesitant to upload pictures of myself in it; I've shown pics to a few people and they say I look good, but still, the internet is the internet... (Alas, I have no female model to wear it for me... granted I might have to modify it to fit another person)

So anyway, just wanted to share this latest costume of mine; I'm still relatively new to cosplaying, but I really enjoy simple costumes like this that can be made in just a couple days
