Well, after literally brawling with my costume for a while it turned out ok. If I end up wearing it again, which is a stong possibility, I HAVE to redo the shoes. They are the right size, but they are a small version. Um, they say size 7, but really they fit like a size 5.5-6. My feet were in soooo much pain!!! So, I will get those same shoes in a larger size and then add stuff, paint, etc. Oh yeah, there is NO WAY a girl can fight in a get up like this...I had trouble with stairs, how can it be expected to kill an enemy when you can't even tackle stairs...
