This time I decided to make a Tomoyo look with Sweety Queen Dark Violet lenses and a purple cosplay wig by Uniqso. Tomoyo is one of the characters in Card Captor Sakura. This show was very popular when I was a child and they have recently released a spin off as well. I couldn’t resist making this version based on one of the pages in the artbooks.

Making off the dress
For once I decided to make an easy dress. just, it wasn’t that easy! The base of the dress is a simple sleeveless pattern with darts in the bust and a gathered skirt rougly twice the size of my hips in chiffon. One of the reasons I made it was to reduce some fabric from my stash that had been there for a long time. The purple detail consists on an elastic trim which I cut and handsew to make it look how I wanted, it took me several hours but was worth the time.
Sweety Queen Dark Violet Lenses
Tomoyo has very dark purple eyes, in this occassion I chose the Sweety Queen Dark Violet Lenses which looked like a perfect choice for her. They come in blisters with a free case to hold them. If it is your first time wearing contact lenses remember to follow the best practices to keep them safe.
This circle lenses feature a dark purple colour with an outer black rim which makes your eyes look bigger. The uneven yet organic shape of the lenses make them blend with your eyes perfectly well. And they cover my dark eyes easily. As it is the case with Sweety lenses they are very cmfortable to wear.
Tomoyo Wig
I love when they make it easy to get wigs for your cosplay. Although I could have chosen any other purple wig, this one was particularly beautiful. The Tomoyo Wig features three different colours in their fibers, blue, dark purple and gray. It makes it look more natural. However, keep in mind that this wig looks darker in person than in the product photos. The wig is silky and full of hair and has lovely curls.
The bangs of the wig were already shaped for a straight cut. Nevertheless, I had to trim it a bit shorter to adapt it to the shape of my face. I also restyled each strand of hair individually, similar to how I untangle curly wigs, and I set it with strong hairspray to give it the anime look for Tomoyo.
This was a fun and easy project, but in the future I would love to make other Tomoyo dresses and more Sakura dresses as well. I can’t wait to use this wig and contact lenses again.
