And the story...

"Le Scorpion" is a french comic strip from Marini and Desberg. It's one of my favourites series, I like the story and the drawings a lot! (click here if you want to know more. ^^) The poisoner Méjaï is really an interesting character, and I love her outfit. As the Festival Delcourt/Harajuku is more a comics event than an anime/manga event, I decided to cosplay as her at this little convention.
I made the costume with my grandmother, but this time I participated more than usual. ^^ The top needed many adjustments, but the other parts were quite easy to sew. Regarding the hair, I had no wig so I dyed my hair black, but the color faded a lot before the con, and the result was not really what I expected. :( Anyway I like this cosplay a lot, I liked to make something different from the usual anime/manga costumes, and it was the 1st time my skin tone actually matched my character's. ^^
