Documentation of the progress of making a Dollfie Dream Hakama ^^/ Initially it started out as something which is meant for M-bust, but as I adjusted the pattern it became something which will fit the L-bust DDII ^^;
Above is the first attempt, the tie straps were too bulky so I changed that later on. Also felt that the sleeves could be longer ^^/
Another photo of first attempt because Aki is kawaii :P
M-bust attempt 2, Aki looks adorable in it no? ^^;
Luckily Hakama bottom took one try (after some careful planning)
Looking back, the first couple attempts, the opening/collar definitely needed some work ^^;
Aki look super adorable modelling it ^o^!
The first 2 hakama tops shows a bit too much cleavage on L-bust ^^;
Also the collar of the top was a bit funky >_<;
When put on L-bust body, it’s very distracting lol!
The final top covers up better and look a bit more elegant ^o^
I made a pair of tabi too, but forgot to take photos before I pack it up to ship ^^; You saw some sneak peeks with the new owners ^^;/ (I have an arrangement with Danny’s lovely musumes and make clothes on commission for them occasionally :) )
Omake pix: Mirin tries on Yuki Morikawa’s default wig ^o^/ Looks pretty cute no? I wish her neck doesn’t look so long tho lol!
Thanks for looking :)
Lovely! I think red color looks good too but it looks like a shrine maiden ^^;

That hakama is nice. Any plans to create more for sales or…?
Mirin looks good in Yuki’s default wig. Noticed that on Shizuko too, the DDH03 head has a rather short chin so the neck will look a bit long seen from some angles.

Right now I’m working on a DDdy set… so probably not yet >_< sorry!
I agree about the short chin (and small head! LOL)

Looks amazing! I take iaido and hakamas look cool but are a butt to workout in. :)
P.S. I can’t help but find it funny that their holding the sword in their left hand. There’s no such thing as a left-handed samurai. LOL

hi Chun! you made the hakama bottom part as a skirt? or trousers? I want to try to make my own too :) I know Mashiro Mito’s hakama set is a skirt,so since I can’t see it well, I was wondering how you made yours :)

Mashiro Mito DD’s hakama set looks like it’s just gather? Mine’s version is pleated, I did some research on google to check and see how the human ones are like and went from there. This one is quite basic I think, iron some pleats on the fabric you’re gonna use and secure with pins, and just make sure you make the length you want plus seam allowance. The top needed a few tries as it wasn’t covering enough lol
