Ciel Phantomhive has big shoes to fill as the head of the household, but thankfully he has one hell of a butler to help him out!

This is my favourite shot in this costume. So despite all the little costume imperfections I'm still posting this!! Many thanks to , keep on shooting! ^^

Ciel is the 4th and final costume of the year end rush. It was the most time-consuming, most head-cracking, and most tedious costume of mine to date. I'll have to remind myself to stay away from Victorian costumes like that in the future. Lol!

I was looking around for a butler when Camelia answered my call for one. We planned to debut our costumes at Comic Fiesta since it's an across-the-causeway collaboration , and yeah I was glad that I was able to make it in the end!! There were many costumes to choose from, but we settled on the shitajiki illustration (also found in Chapter 21 of the manga) since we didn't see anyone doing that version then. Static Arts released the figurines around that time as well so it was very good timing and I didn't have to guess what the shirtfront looks like!

When you make something like this together with 3 other costumes at the same time, you can't really think properly. I brought bits and pieces to the hotel in Malaysia, and then burnt the midnight oil for 2 nights before it looked decent enough to wear...

And I wouldn't be able to make it without everyone helping out!! A million thanks to , , , Gin and Hoshi Papa for offering to help when I was almost giving up. I owe you all one!!To Raywing and everyone who came over to cheer us on in our hotel room while we were busy with our threads and needles and tape. And finally, to and for always being there to help me pin and fluff my bustle to ensure that I've got a very big butt. I you all!! Thank you so much!!

And of course, a big thank you to Camelia for being my butler, and the photographers who came on that day for the photos and memories!
