Character: Andromeda Shun
From: Saint Seiya (Knights of Zodiac)
First apparition: Mantova Comics 2009

Why did I choose this character:
I love Saint Seiya and Shun is so beautiful! Such a pretty guy! And I
also like his personality! I like the way he loves his older brother Ikky,
that makes him so cute an sweet! ^.^
This costume was planned to make a duo with my friend Logan as Ikky with
civil clothes, but suddendly he couldn't came at the con.
Making off:
I like Shun very much and I wanted to cosplay him, but I had no time and
money to make his armour so I decided to do him with civil clothes (for
the future I've planned to cosplay him with armour^^).
The costume is extremely simple and is made with a pair of white trousers
I had at home, brown shoes borrowed from my sister and a white t-shirt
dyed green (since I didn't find any green t-shirt >_<) and cutted
a little on the neck to give an 80's look. The only thing that I build
has been white suspenders, since I didn't find any white suspenders with
three snaps like Shun ones. Suspenders are made with elastic ribbon, suspanders's
snaps (bought at the notios/haberdasher's store) and a piece of white
leather for the back where the three elastics join. Wig comes from my
Shaina's costume.
