vampixie - September 18, 2008 02:03 PM (GMT)
im thinking of dressing as Mana for this Tokyopop thing next month. and i was wondering where you all got your outfits from, or did you all make them your selfs? and dose anyone know of any Lolita shops in Manchester or Leeds because they just might have something a could pass off as a Mana costume.
PS im very sorry if there is already a thread for this type of thing

Most people make they're costumes.
If you really want Mana's Clothing line, you can buy Moi meme Moitie from MaruiOne, CDJapan, Closet Child(second hand) and some LiveJournal communities, which I can't remember the name of. :unsure:
You could also get replicas from inthestarlight and fanplusfriend websites. (They're custom to your specific measurements though.)

thank for the second hand tip off, im a poor student so Moitie is abit out of my price range. plus dose anyone know what size 2 is the equivalent to in uk sizes? im assuming it will be to small for me.

I want to say it's about the equivalant of a uk size 8, maybe.

Yeah about size 8.
If its "shirring" you could probably get away wearing it up to size 12

ah ok. well i went shopping to day and found some stuff that may work, its not like full on oh thats deffo Mana but if i do my hair and make up well it should all be ok. im planing on having blue curly hair :D YAY for my mad hair skills.
EDIT:

I find that to be one of the best mana make up tutorials on the web at the moment. There's alot out there if you search but most of it's only worth looking at for certain elements, thats the best all rounder in my opinion.
