Fanime 2008 was awesome. <3 [And my first convention too.]

I don't know if I'm going this year, but I would like to create a costume as soon as possible.
So a few months ago, I went to a fabric store with my friend and bought a lot of light pink fabric, a good amount of white fabric, and a little bit of red to create a costume.

At first, I wanted to cosplay as Rabi En Rose, but for some reason I did not want to anymore.
Then I wanted to cosplay as HanaIchigo from my discovery of Rozen Maiden.
But now I don't want to. -____-

Can you awesome people please help me with choosing what to create? The only requirements I ask is that it is mostly pink and white, [or just pink and white] and only a little bit of red....[I have about 3 feet of red fabric]
Pictures of sweet lolita dresses would be nice too. =] [MAJOR LOVE actually...xD]
Or....do you think I should just create an OC[original character] instead? =]
If I do, I'll post it here too. xD

If you are going to do sweet lolita then get rid of the red, because it wouldnt look very well put together unless its in a stripe pattern
http://www.lolitafashion.org/anatomy.php <---you are going to need that for the anatomy of a lolita outfit (yes i take lolita fashion seriously)

http://www.lolitafashion.org/sweet_lolita.php <--- theres some info and pictures with sweet lolita

If you want more references you could look at Baby The Stars Shine Bright's Website also Angelic Pretty beacuse they have ALOT of pink x white motifs (with AP they might have some other colors because of some new items in stock like magical whip and milky drop)
http://lolita-handbook.livejournal.com/ <---THIS is the best thing for lolitas anatomy, starter lolitas and what not


now to get back ontopic of cosplay:
Cosplay is whatever YOU want to do, if its to do a character you love and they wear those colors then do it! dont be a sheep and do what others say cosplay whatever character you like

I've seen the flowers on her kimono done as white as well, so either should be fine.

Do you like Chobits at all? There's alot of pink cosplay to be fashioned out of that series. ♥
