This is my Terra Brandford costume from the video game Final Fantasy 6. I made this costume a little over a year ago, and I put a lot of time and detail into it. There was lot of hand beading and coloring of fabrics involved.
I really love how the boots came out! The boots were originally knee-high zip up boots that I seriously altered.
For some odd reason though, everytime I wear this costume and see a full-body photo....it makes my arms look disproportionatly long compared to my legs...! I'm thinking it's the red arm sleeve things?! For example, in this picture, it looks like if I stood up, my arms would touch the bottoms of my feet!! lol!

Yeah, the arm things are distorting proportions. You'd have to find a way to make your legs look longer... shorten the skirt maybe, and higher heels? It's a real stumper.
Yeah, there's just not much you can do. The costume is so top heavy! It still looks great, though, and the details are fantastic.I especially love what you did with the shoes. AMAZING.
Thanks I made this one a long time ago, so I was just putting stuff together without really planning. I was having run getting stuck from the Christmas Tree ornament sections.
"For some odd reason though, everytime I wear this costume and see a full-body photo....it makes my arms look disproportionatly long compared to my legs...!" Thats a good thing, Terra is really lanky and almost disproportionate in the original Amano illustrations.
Wowo.it must been hell to alter those boots for getting the perfect Terra style.
The costume is just so perfect that is inspiring in any way posible. You look gorgeous, the costume looks amazing and you give me the perfect excuse to make a Terra costume for the next Animecon.
