>>1448232I think body type has a lot to do with it. (obv.) The senshi are skinny and verrrry long, especially their legs. You need a long torso to pull off that fuku and long legs for those boots. Not like all other anime characters are actually in proportion, welcome to cosplay, etc.
>>1448258looks like she is very tall so everything kinda works

>>1447355's legs look ok in the boots
The same is true with Xena cosplay. Lucy Lawless is a IRL amazon woman and her legs are, (if not amazing...^^ ::siiigh::) freakishly long. Her dress thing and boots look like crap on anyone too short or fat trying to cosplay her.
