Shrine Maiden Shaorin♥

[tasuke]

here's a reworking of the Miko costume that came with the first Anime character doll i had ever gotten online,
the TSUKUDA HOBBY Sakura Wars "Sakura Shinguji" i got used/incomplete from an EBAY auction back around 2007.

being a very early TSUKUDA HOBBY Chara Doll, with the awful-looking 1st version of their 1/5ish doll body design,
- and, with an equally bad-looking, undersized head sculpt to match - Sakura wasn't much to shout about herself,
however, her Japanese Shrine Maiden costume was very nice all the same, and, with some added lace and a pair of Tabi Socks made from scratch to match,
the costume translated over to my TSUKUDA HOBBY Mamotte Shugogetten "Shaorin Shichiri"
- one of T. HOBBY's last, and best, Anime Dolls from their short-lived "Full Action Doll Series" 1996/1999 chara doll line - quite well indeed;

The costume indeed looks much nicer. The original doesn't look like it's quite finished. Good job.
