Some months ago, I saw the anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Ever since,
the themes of the show and relationships between the characters have been
rolling around in my head, helped by me poking around the internet to read more
about the ideas behind the franchise. A couple of weeks ago, I took a look at
Madoka cosplay, which gave me the urge to make dolly cosplay. Deciding what
clothes I wanted to make was simple, I'd make the school clothes and Homura's
magical girl outfit. The former as I have a fondness for uniforms, and the
latter as i liked how simple it was compared to the other magical girl outfits.
Also, I think it has a strong resemblance to the school uniform.
With those choices out of the way, it was time to find reference pictures. Much to my vexation, the Madoka wiki wasn't the easiest site to access, it would often show an error page if I clicked on it. I resorted to Google image searches, which are far from efficient and took multiple tries to find everything I needed. Full frontal photos were easy enough, closeups not so much, and pictures of the back were decidedly tricky. Also making things complicated was trying to find official rather than fan art in order to get a more accurate look. Hardest of all was getting a decent image of Homura's inner collar. Some pictures and cosplays made it look like it was standing, but as it turns out the collar lies flat.
Here are the pictures I found, in case others want the references.
