![]() The original neck wrap was a thin long piece of white fabric with a black button sown on. No mask, gloves, or face cover included, though I got those covered. In addition to the main robes, you get the white neck wrap and the black cloak. I looked like a ridiculous clown with those things on. The covers themselves, when put over my feet, look like giant Ugg boots. To top that off, the design of the shoe covers are horrid in that the gold strips are too fat and don’t match the ones on the pants. Seriously, really? It doesn’t look remotely like what was shown in the picture, and the design of it is ridiculous…two straps are meant to hold it to my feet? Really? The picture provided by the seller also included boots as part of the package, but hey look, I got two giant ugly shoe covers instead… It was like they gave up and decided to just half-ass the sleeves and collar thinking I wouldn’t notice… For some reason, the seller decided the costume sported “M”s and “W”s on them. The blue for the majority of the outfit is forgivable, but the baby blue highlights warrants the death penalty.Īnother issue that bugged me to no end was also in the sleeves and collar.

When I first received the costume, it was less than perfect, which is what I expected and desired. The entire costume was bought online, from an eBay merchant who didn’t quite deliver as promised… I’ve been planning on going to AX as Zero for quite some time, though never got around to buying the costume until now. ![]() With Code Geass being one of my favorite animes and Lelouch being a hallmark character for me (I have the hair and lankiness, so why not?) I decided to portray him again this year, but with a different outfit. I’ve worn the Ashford school uniform for two years in a row at the convention, and it was actually hand-made by my grandmother, a skilled seamstress in the family. In previous years, I’ve gone to Anime Expo mostly as Lelouch Vi Britannia (from Code Geass, for those unfamiliar).
