Cosplay Review//Mio Akiyama

Hello my darlings! :D I am going to start my very first review with this lovely piece! I purchased this from TrustedDeal which is actually a wholesale website so I was able to grab it for a decent price. Shipping was $38.00 but  the total cost was still under $100.00! //Mio Akiyama Costume





Usually, I  try to make my own cosplays, so shis was my first ever cosplay costume purchase! I was super scared to buy it from a wholesale website but  I love how it ended up! Shipping was faster than expected  so that was also a pleasant surprise. 


I really love the way it was made in two pieces instead of  one, that makes it super easy to put on. The skirt actually has an elastic waist, which is good for me because I wear plus size clothes. Sadly, I couldn't figure out the shirt! It has three ties on it that I had no idea how to adjust so the top kept pulling apart. The design could have been more intuitive. A drawback from a wholesaler but one I can live with.
 The sash around the middle has velcro in the back so you don't actually tie it. The bow has a safety pin hidden on it so you can just fasten it over the back. Both of these features are lovely because if I had to tie it would probably look pretty  ridiculous.


My wig came from ebay, which is where I buy most of my wigs //Mio's Wig!


         This cosplay is super comfortable and extremely accurate to the character, so I'm giving it a 4.9/5. Overall I am in love with it and this is probably my favorite cosplay to wear! The price is $59.99, so it's a pretty great deal! They have all of the K-ON girls' outfits available for the same price so I definitely recommend this seller.
