12 Cosplays of Christmas - 4 Captured Cards (Sakura *Cardcaptors*)

Day 4! ^^ The character of today is Sakura of 'Cardcaptors' (US) or 'Cardcaptor Sakura' (JP). Pardon me if I don't know the villains or Sakura's companion; I never really watched the show when I was younger. However, if you know who they are, leave the names in the comments below. ^^;

Here's what we'll be using as a base for the recipe. ^^ Many thanks to HelloCosplay for letting me use this!

What's needed to suit up for capturing card monsters:

• A white dress
• A red overall dress
• White (or yellow) and red ribbon
• Some white and red bows (Optional)
• Pin backs *like the kind on buttons* (Optional)
• A red beret
• White short gloves
• White knee-high socks
• Red Mary Janes

How to suit up:

1. Apply some iron-on tape and place the white or yellow ribbon near the bottom of the red dress. Or if you prefer, pin the ribbon to the dress and run it through a sewing machine. Set the dress aside.
2. Put on the white dress. Take the white ribbon and tie it around the cuff of the sleeve. Be careful as if the bow's too tight, it may cut off circulation on your arms. If this concerns you, just get some pre-made bows (commonly found at any craft store), glue some pin backs and pin them to the cuffs, but be careful with this one too.
3. Put on the red dress once it's cool. Make sure you can move freely with the ribbon.
4. Now for the gloves! Take some short white gloves and pin some red bows on them. If you prefer, make some bows with the red ribbon, glue some pin backs and pin them to the gloves.
5. For the beret, put it on, then have a parent or friend tie on some red ribbon on the base and sew it on. Make sure it's not tight on your head!
6. Put on the socks and shoes and you're done! For the socks, simply pin some red bows on them.
