▸ SOURCING_NOTES

→Full set: Miccostumes and other cosplay-focused stores often stock Final Fantasy VIII — check them before sewing.
→Weapon/emblem: Cults3D for STL, Etsy for finished replicas. Confirm convention weapon policy on length.
→Wig: pre-styled character wig from Arda saves 4-8 hours vs. cutting a generic base.
→Amazon 'anime costume' listings tend to run wide and thin — inspect fabric weight before ordering.
