[Cosplay] Monkey D Luffy: DIY Luffy's red vest

Okay~ so after some discussion with hubby... we kinda forfeited the cosplay couple for Halloween idea and decided it'd be way too much effort to try and get/make both costumes... and being a beginner in sewing... for me to try and make any costumes with elaborate details will just end in failure... :T so in the end, we've decided that he would play detective Conan and I'll play Luffy from One Piece~ X3 (we did think of me dressing as Lan from Conan... but I'd have to get the high school skirt and another blue blazer... which would just end up costing too much... :S) This is the first time that I'm actually attempting to make a costume and actually "cosplaying" an anime character! X3 (my first steps into becoming a real otaku~ <3 haha~) though I have played more classic comic characters like Popeye's girlfriend Olive Oyl (with great success too... someone came up to me and said that I look exactly like Olive... not sure if I should be happy about that or not though... :T)

Real Luffy!
