YPP Swashy - Black+Maroon

This is for my (now ex) boyfriend TJ, or Devilmaster in-game.

This is the second time I've used my custom swashbuckler's jacket pattern, with improvement over the first one I did. On this one I've finally figured out how those sleeves were meant to be put together (darn original Japanese), so the shoulders are more accurate and consistent to each other now. Because this one isn't white as the main, you can see the detail on the inner shirt now.

Despite it being my second piece however, I've failed to shorten the time it takes for me to make it. These probably won't be able to be sold as regular items in the future because of that; the price of time is just too high right now.

I've also included the reference of Devilmaster's portrait wearing it, since that's directly where many of my references came from.

Gold, white, black, and maroon glass seed beads on black nylon. The sash ends do hang loose from the rest of the pattern. The waist for this is much larger than any of the dresses I have done in the past, and does not fit over a pen nicely in the least. It's much more finger puppet sized in that regard.

Time: 16 hours
Colors: 4
Size: About 1 1/2 inch across the shoulders and waist, 2 inches tall. Arms are 1 3/4 inches from shoulder to cuff.
