S ailor Moon   Sailor Uranus Completed August 2011 Items Made: Dress, Choker, Glove Cuffs. This and Sailor Neptune were my 2nd attempt at Sailor Suits and it's amazing how much I've improved since then.  But I'm absolutely in love with these!   The dress, collar, bows and choker were made, the glove tops were made and added to a store bought pair of gloves.  The shoes were purchased and painted.  The tiara was purchased from Catzia's Collectibles and is beautiful and totally worth the money. PS. I bought the smooth gem tiaras and had the metal ring detail added around the stone.  It costs a little more but looks better if you ask me. The earrings where just jewelry store finds... gold hoops, pretty standard.
