I purchased this costume way back in 2007 from Beverly when I noticed she was selling some of her costumes on eBay. I had been playing Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life at the time and I really liked Celia's character design so I thought it would be fun to get this costume. I wore it at March Toronto AnimeCON in 2008 and I wore it again at Anime North 2011 and got this rather pretty hallway shot by Rock nam Lee.

The reactions that I got to this costume were so different from when I first wore it thanks to the creation of Hetelia. People seemed to think that I was some weird version of Hungary. XD I'm not a Hetelia fan so I was confused when a bunch of Hetelia Cosplayers kept expecting me to recognize them. lol

At some point I want to wear this costume during the spring or summer out in the country to get some pretty photos of it. SolarTempest did a shoot with me during MTAC when I first wore it, but that was during winter so I look frozen in most of the photos. XD Anyway, I look forward to wearing this costume again.

Thanks so much! I always felt Celia was an adorable character in the game. I enjoyed Cosplaying her.

I have played through the game 4 times, married Celia the 1st and 3rd playthrough. Nami was the 2nd and 4th. She has always been one of my favoites.

Thanks so much! I wish I had more photos of the costume from that convention. I'll have to do a photoshoot of this costume eventually.

Oh jeez... wow, this is beautiful! I was looking up some Celia artwork for my own interpretation of her, and wow... this is really beautiful!

I really love Celia as a character and a wife, and I will continue to love her to this day! I really can't express how much I love this pic! ... Well, a fave would be nice. Still, it is a beautiful picture and you look beautiful as Celia!

That's a very nice and heartfelt comment. :3 I really appreciate it! I never expected that this costume would touch so many people. Harvest Moon seems to be a game series that a lot of people really fell in love with and the journey to create successful farm lives for the playable characters really meant something to each player. It's really very sweet to read about how people feel towards Celia. Thanks for the fave and comment! (^^)

That is amazing!
It's so rare to find a harvest moon cosplay, but you play the part really well!

Thanks! I had a lot of fun wearing this costume. Harvest Moon Cosplay is pretty rare. A lot of people thought that I was Cosplaying from Hetelia. XD

It really is rare! I'll have to look it up, but I'm pretty sure there aren't many on here. Seeing someone cosplay Celia (my favorite character no less :P) was really refreshing! I spotted it right off!
Sadly, there are far too many hetalia fans out there for words xP
