Catch the Moment
Vocals: LiSA
Lyrics: LiSA
Composition: Tabuchi Tomoya
Arrangement: Eguchi Ryo

I breathed back my quiet sighs as regret leaves behind a bitter taste
Why is it that I can never say what’s important, while the next morning’s sun has risen?

If I cut up the fate I’m sick of with a knife
and redo it, I might not be able to meet you

Sword Art Online II Silica (ALO Cait Sith ver.) Cosplay Progress

Why am I doing this again oh god

This post is a photo progress log for the costume. It may come in helpful as a semi-tutorial or visual clarification of how some parts can be done. Some parts are easier than others (e.g. skirt, inner shirt), but overall I would rate the construction level of the costume to be intermediate. It is easier to make than Silica’s red SAO outfit though, in my opinion.

Parts of the progress will be copy and paste from my SAO Silica progress page since the two outfits are quite similar in parts and silhouette. The gold trim is one key thing that I’m doing differently this time around because of how difficult and expensive pleather was to deal with last time, not to mention that I was less than satisfied with the results.

Cost of the costume are shown by part. Prices in parentheses are the costs if all of the raw materials had to be purchased instead of using leftovers or whatever is already available.
