Princess Peach
Super Mario RPG
Worn at: Katsucon 2007, Ohayocon 2008, Ohayocon 2012
Inspiration: Believe it or not, Mario RPG is my favorite game of all time (nostalgia is great, isn't it?). I originally wanted to do a character native to the game, but there really wasn't anyone that could be easily cosplayed without some creative licenses taken (almost everyone in the game is non-human!). While planning, I developed a love for Peach for some reason. I found that no one had ever made a Peach specifically from Mario RPG, so I was sold ^^
Design: If you look closely, Peach's design in Mario RPG is slightly different from every other version. She's the only version with a white crown, and her skirt is two layers.
Construction: I decided to go with a blonde wig as opposed to yellow because I just think it looks better. The first run of this costume I had way too small of a petticoat, and the waist turned out being a lot bigger than my actual waist. A rounder skirt and smaller waist definitely makes the costume look complete :)
