Very nicely done, Kaminoan. The toes are absolutely adorable! Makes me

Edward,
I based the skirt on a statue of
King Leonidas of
Sparta, which of course I doubt is historically correct as it was made after
his time so the artist I am sure added some of the style or fashion of his time.
In the movie they wear a leather codpiece, but didn’t want to just put together
the figure with brown hips or something and I thought the skirt looked better
with the cape. So yeah it is a touch short, but I thought fitting when looking
at that statue. Thanks for the comment.
