FFVII Cloud Cosplay

So yeah, I recently made my first ever handmade cosplay! X3 I felt it only right to try and make VII Cloud, cause that was the outfit I originally wanted to wear. Buuuuut the only FFVII Cloud costumes (all 2 of them) I've seen online are expensive as hell, so I made my own! I'm happy with how it turned out, but the shoulder armour just. did. not. want/ to. stay. on. And near the end of the day (at the Birmingham MCM con) the straps decided they hated me and snapped, making it unwearable. Ah well, now I know what to fix!
