[Sherry Tachibana cosplay] First Fitting for Magical Girl's Witch Trial, Blue-Haired Detective Style Outfit

When I opened the box and took out this Sherry Tachibana cosplay outfit from "Magical Girl's Witch Trial," my first reaction was that its layering was much more complex than I had imagined. The loose black jacket has white edges, and the inner white shirt and gray vest are adorned with a blue tie and two small bows with gold trimming. This design atmosphere, combining detective and magical elements, is very different from the soft/cute style I usually cosplay; it's quite challenging.

The upper body actually took a lot of time to put on, especially that black beret. The decorations on the hat are very delicate; besides the blue plaid big bow, there are two small black gold-trimmed bows, and the most playful part is a small white ghost doll clinging to it. To fix this little ghost in the perfect position, I adjusted the hat angle several times before it looked natural in front of the lens.

The blue and white plaid pleated skirt on the lower body matches the overall style, leaning towards an academic feel. To fit the lively personality in the setting, I chose asymmetrical sock styling: black tights on one side and a white mid-calf cotton sock on the other, paired with small black leather shoes and a striking big white bow. This combination is very demanding on leg shape and details; thanks to multi-angle camera positions during the shoot, this feature was captured accurately.

The shooting environment used a clean white background and a white plush rug, which makes the color collision of the black jacket, blue hair, and plaid skirt pop out more. The first time I picked up that silver-rimmed magnifying glass, I deliberately struck a detective pose searching for clues, trying hard to act out that focused yet playful feeling. Besides standing poses to show the whole look, I also took some sitting shots, which highlight the leg lines and clothing layers better. To keep the tie and hat edges from looking messy while sitting, I adjusted them repeatedly.

In the third photo, I lifted a tablet. Although the art on the screen covered half my face, adding yellow star and exclamation mark effects in post-production, along with the Q-version stickers around, gave the image a dynamic storytelling feel instead. I really like this design; it showcases the character's features without appearing stiff.

Speaking of the circular magnifying glass prop, the rim is very light, so I didn't need to put too much force into my wrist when holding it, allowing my arm to stay naturally relaxed during close-ups. Tilting my head while holding it and sticking my tongue out a little brings out that quirky spirit. It looks good not just from the front, but also from the side and back; the jacket sliding off the shoulder perfectly reveals the collar and tie underneath, distinct in layering.

Finally, after struggling with which photo to use as the cover, I chose the sitting one. Because that photo perfectly combines the blue hair, orange eyes, black beret, bows, and that classic asymmetrical black stockings and white socks combo. The sweet and cool balance is just right, the composition is clean, and the character is centered. This presents a positive, spirited Magical Girl image. Although it is currently just the fitting stage, I tried my best to make the restoration of every part the best it could be, and I really love this effect.
