A very nice effort on her part. However, doesn't hold a candle to the famous 
"Meldandy" costumer of several years back. "Melissa" (I think that was her 
name) created a copy of Belldandy's "Dress Blues" tunic and silk fatigue 
uniform. Including the limiter earrings and the necklace. A piece of cosplay 
masterwork!

Nevertheless, you are quite correct. This costume should have won at least 
an honorable mention, if not a placement. However, knowing Cosplay as I do, 
third place probably went to some airheaded Sailor Soldier.

Be Seeing You,

Chris
