OctoRave Outfit

I don't even know how to explain how this came about. Let's just say that if you ask me a question in the midst of one of my obsessions my answer will revolve around my obsessions. So in the midst of my oCtOpAcK sewing Grip N Flip decided that she wanted to throw a Rave/Birthday Party. She was asking for some suggestions on tag lines for the invites and my response was "Octorave: Eight times the fun" . . . .. . . and somehow that stuck.

So obviously if Grip N Flip is throwing an Octorave an Octofit is needed. While I was reading a manga I found the perfect outfit. I'm really not into cosplay nor will I ever be. But this outfit had the essence of the Miyavi Concert Outfit that didn't work out. I'm talking about the triangular cut outs that ended up being a disaster. The manga is 07 Ghost by Amemiya Yuki and Illustrated by Ichihara Yukino. The illustrator Ichihara Yukino has her own website and some pretty cool illustrations.


But since her illustrations are on rotation the picture of the outfit isn't up. I hope posting it here doesn't go against any copyright infringement policies. (Please don't sue me!!)

This ended up being a quickie outfit and took me a day to do.

I don't hate the top but there are somethings that need to be fixed. The straps around the neck don't hold really well. The side seams need to be taken in to fit better. And Grip N Flip needs some instructions because she doesn't know how to put it on correctly.
