I admit that my Japanese skills are pretty horrible, but from what I could understand I knew that Yuuko is an absolutely fabulous character. I fell in love with her dress and well... that's how it goes. It was the largest project I had done at that time. The pattern drafting and appliques were the biggest challenge for me, but I'm pretty satisfied with the results. XD Sadly, I still need to add an applique (so shhhh!). I've also gone back and added some touches since I first wore it, like the trim the is around all the applique edges. 
Ohohoho! This is not the end for Yuuko and me, she has too many other fabulous outfits. ^_~
