Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (Kotobukiya figure)

I’ve been a raving Tekken fan since Tekken 2, so it was really about time I finally made another costume from my most beloved arcade fighting game. 
I love this outfit so much! I knew I had to make it after I saw the Shunya Yamashita figure released by Kotobukiya and even pre-ordered it to have the best reference possible. When I heard Tekken director Katsuhiro Harada and Soul Calibur programmer Masaaki Hoshino were going to be at San Diego Comic Con, I brought Alisa out with an awesome jetpack by Lionel Lum, it was so perfect and I’m still floored that a life dream came true in meeting them and receiving their compliments.

The duster, sleeves and choker were all made out of dupioni silk I hand dyed in hot and cold vats, which was a lot of fun! The duster itself was patterned and tailored by me, mostly with draping on the dress form. 
The wig was also colored by hand, which I don’t relish doing again. I kept her left curls loose and fresh because they appear to not be in a tight curl in the figure version; the boots were altered, and socks purchased from Sock Dreams and also hand dyed. There are a lot of little details all over the costume that generally get overlooked like the gorgeous rhinestone butterfly pin, lace and silk covered bra, embellished roses, and blinged out belt. Jetpack made by Lionel Lum.
