  FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST Riza Hawkeye Created November 2007 Items Made: Jacket, Trousers, Belt/Peplum. This was my first attempt at an FMA uniform and it was a great costume to make. See m y second attempt here. ( Maes Hughes ) The hardest part was ALL the trims and details. The trim had to be placed and then sewn down before the garment pieces were sewn together in order to h ide the stitches.  For fabric I used a nice gabardine fabric in navy. The fabric has a slight stretch which isn't necessary, but makes it much more comfy.  I also made the Trouser Flaps as a separate piece for ease of wear--having remade this costume for myself, the separate piece flap was a good idea. Sidenote:  This costume was made and the buyer reneged so now I have it in my possession.  If anyone is interested in purchasing it, let me know.  The costume is actually unisex so it could be worn for any FMA character.  The size is pretty short and boxy, but it ...

FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST Maes Hughes   Completed Sept. 2010 Items Made: Jacket, Pants, Peplum.   I LOVE the way this turned out!!! I used the same navy gabardine I used for the earlier version of Riza. I just love the darker color and it comes out great in pictures -- not to bright, not to dark. I also used a silvery-gray upholstery piping for the trim. The peplum (or at least that's what I call the pant flap thing) is made as a separate piece. Lots of little details. Hand knotted shoulder cord, authentic replica collar medals and shoulder insignias. I added breast pockets on the jacket which come in super handy.

  Fullmetal Alchemist Lust Completed Sept. 2010   Items Made: Dress This costume was awesome to make. We kind of deviated from the actual design in that we made the dress floor length with a slight train and there's a thigh high slit up the front of the leg (sexy). The dress itself is made from hunter green satin with a black chiffon overlay so the dress looks black with a green tint. Because if you look at a lot of the anime pics, the highlights are done with dark green. The gloves were store bought and the detail was burgundy cording hand sewn onto the glove s.  The tattoo purchased from an online vendor.
