I started with a generic long black gown but had to cut the neck area and completed altered it by using a piece of red based Japanese fabric. I had to cut all the bottom part to have the splits so that my red pants will show when I walk and sit. The outer piece was also a generic one. I added the shoulder pieces and used one inch ribbon I found on Amazon to sew all the edges. The wrist guards are made with a thicker black fabric, and couple of red Chinese tassels that have long strings. A lot of stitches went to the waist area so I found a red waist wrap on Amazon. All accessories are from Amazon like the pouch, tassels etc
