I forget who wanted one, but here's how my friend and I made Integra's tie for Sac-Anime.

Note: If it's too image-heavy, I will take out the pictures and provide the direct links. READ THE COMMENTS, and if you see that someone else has already complained about the number if images, DO NOT REPEAT THEM. Multiple bitchings irritate me. One will do quite nicely, thank you.

( Image-heavy, thus the cut.Collapse )

You do NOT have permission to repost this, but feel free to link back to it. I am copyright me, and so are Shira and Jake, and Integra is copyright Mr. Hirano.


More notes: The suit is the female US Army dress green uniform, and you can find it at an Army surplus store, if you're not in the Army yourself. Remember to remove all patches. XD It's not double-breasted, like Integra's, but the colour fits quite nicely, and you can remove the buttons with the Army insignia on them and replace them. It's also 55% polyester & 45% wool, so STAY HYDRATED. The uniform's hot as fornication.

The white shirt is just a long-sleeved, collared, button-down shirt that was way too thick for Sacramento's 100+ degree July weather.

I wore 3-inch heeled boots with it, because they were the only shoes I had that really went with it. I don't know where my Army flats are.

The cross is a silver pendant I found by pure luck at a jewelry kiosk at the K Street Mall in Sacramento, CA, USA. If you really want one, I can check to see if the guy has more, and we can negotiate shipping, handling, and where it ships to.

The hair is my own, dyed to fit. You can't have it.

The accent was faked; the attitude wasn't.

And obviously my glasses don't fit, but if it really bugs you, you can send me money to get the right ones.
