_________Information
I don't have much to say about this costume. I had been planning to make Ban's shirt for awhile so I had gotten an oversized white shirt downtown a few months before. I did nothing with it until the other day when Sakura and I found a mini Ginji vest at a thrift store. We were inspired to throw together Ban and Ginji costumes.
_________Misc
The shirt was trickier than I expected since I had to re-created the sleeves and re-sew the sides. The bottom of the shirt was rather straightforward though.
I re-used my "Goku" wig for the hair and bought the sunglasses for like three dollars at some random corner store I passed by one day. Umm... yeah. ^^;
Sakura and I wore our Ban and Ginji to a Japanese restaurant during a group outing for no apparent reason. We kept pointing at our food and screaming, "Look! We can afford meat!" ^^; It was amusing and we had a mini-photoshoot outside the restaurant afterwards.
