This Christmas outfit of Shinobu's was too cute for me not to make it, even though cosplaying someone as young and small as Shinobu goes against everything I stand for. I did, however, take some liberties with the design, mainly to keep from having to buy a new wig or shoes.

The biggest problem I had making this costume is that there's not one design for it. The three pictures I could find all had a different length and shape for the out skirt, and none of them looked exactly like the version in the Christmas special. I figured I wasn't going for accuracy anyways, so I just made it cute and petal-like. Also, sometimes Shinobu has a cute beret with puffs or ribbons and sometimes she has a santa hat. I have both kinds of hats, but only the santa hat is in pictures.
