You guys definitely took a great deal of craftsmanship to this project, it looks insanely awesome!!! Kudos!
as a side note, I have cosplayed as claire before and i was curious if you made the vest all yourself from a pattern or if you modded the vest, or bought it somewhere. I spent forever looking for a vest that length and color, and ended up just modding one I found.
Thanks for sharing those pics they look great...
