Mako Mankanshoku is the new idol of many schoolgirls. The heroine is a young girl, she has brown eyes, brown hair, and short hair. The character's costume attracts the most attention - it's a school uniform, which looks very original and cute. Naturally, many girls want to imitate their favorite heroine, so they dream of the same original outfit.

What amuses me about the young schoolgirl is her unconventional, funny behavior. She is a devoted friend, but at the same time she has absolutely no desire to study, constantly finds herself in awkward situations and answers inappropriately. Mako in Kill la Kill is a rather controversial character, but, nevertheless, many viewers like her.

How to make Kill la Kill cosplay Mako Mankanshoku yourself

Making a Kill La Kill themed cosplay outfit with your own hands is not at all difficult, you just need to show a little imagination and find the necessary details. Let's take a step-by-step look at how to bring to life the image of your favorite character:

1. We sew a skirt above the knee from blue fabric. As a pattern, you can take a standard model of a large pleated skirt.
2. You can buy a T-shirt ready-made or sew it yourself. The pattern consists of a back, front, and sleeves. The sleeves and silhouette of the sweater are straight. We measure the length depending on the measurements.
3. We make a tie loop on the T-shirt. A small piece of white fabric is enough for this.
4. For a tie, blue silk or satin is suitable. Simply trim the edges, fold the fabric in half and thread the ends of the material through the loop.
5. To make a cloak you will need black or dark blue material. The size of the fabric is selected according to the height of the girl. We process the bottom edge. To make the costume look more realistic, you can make the inside of the cloak dark burgundy. To do this, you will need lining material of burgundy or red color. It is placed on black fabric, cut according to the size of the cloak, and hemmed to the base.
6. Red cones can be made from paper by gluing them onto the raincoat with a glue gun. Two are on the shoulders of the cloak, four pieces are on the sleeves. You can also make a bracelet out of cones.
7. The fastener consists of four buttons - two on each side, and a lace that fits over the buttons. The lace can also be sewn over the collar of the stand. The outfit will be more impressive. The color of the clasp and trim is golden.
8. The cap will look great from any hat with a visor. We will paint the crescent with special fabric paint. Above the visor, the cap is decorated with a golden cord, which was used to fasten the cloak and the rim on the collar.

This completes the Kill La Kill cosplay costume. For shoes, any black or brown closed-toe shoes, worn with regular white high socks, will do.
