Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Yukatas

Casting

With guest Ohmitsooki as Kaname Madoka!

Victoria Bane greatly improved our yukata-making methods from when we did our Senshi yukatas:
- She purchased several books for research
- She translated the instructions from Japanese and used them to cross-reference each other when the instructions were unclear
- She ultimately put together proprietary guides for the team to follow, including ways to customize the fit as well as sew them together more traditionally

Madoka’s yukata was made as a team effort; everyone else made their own.
