Cosplay Complications

[nax is back]

I am trying to recreate Rukia's Soul Reaper (Bleach) outfit, but I'm having trouble trying to design it. If any one has any really really good pictures of her outfit I will love you forever. Here are my questions:

~Is the top part seperate from the bottom?
~Where is the sash tied? Waist or Hip?

Any other tips on this costume would be very helpful!  

[Kanhoro]

i think its almost liek a regular shinigami's yukata thiny-ma-bobber (lol) anywayz, i suggest get a simple one and get the sizes right first then alter.

Can you post some good reference pictures? I, for one, am too lazy to go find them, and i haven't seen or read bleach.  

[Peppermint Elf]

To me, her outfit looks almost like a traditional hakama and haori, with a yukata underneath.

What Peppermint Elf said.

And you gotta love Wikipedia descriptions.

Well, from what i read on Wikipedia, it looks like a kimono and hakama.

Heres a little bit of information on hakama...

Hakama are worn at the waist.
