This time, I tried out this doujin-designed pink cheongsam style. The overall tailoring leans playful, and the halter neck and off-the-shoulder design feel exceptionally refreshing to wear in summer. To restore Natsu's fluffy texture, the wig was specially treated to be fluffy, paired with two large white flower hair ornaments and red ribbons, so the visual center of gravity falls perfectly on the head. The Tanghulu in hand and the large ruffled edges on the sleeves are the crowning touches; when shooting dynamic lifting movements, the skirt hem naturally floats up, pushing the playful feel to the max. For the makeup, a warmer pink-brown tone was selected, with the blending range of the eyeshadow kept relatively small, paired with red colored lenses to emphasize the agility of the gaze. During photography, the indoor lighting was quite soft without any harsh light shadows, so the skin texture appeared very translucent. The stitching details and frog buttons of this costume are finely crafted, and the fabric has a nice drape. The only thing to watch out for is that the ruffles on the long cuffs easily brush against things during movement, but that can be ignored for the sake of the styling effect. Additionally, I paired it with black over-the-knee socks and fluffy ball slippers, which retains some everyday comfort without stealing the spotlight from the dress. The overall shoot went very smoothly; although the cheongsam style is not the original game design, the fun of doujin derivative creation lies exactly in being able to integrate more diverse elements, and I'm highly satisfied with this attempt.
