Chun-Li?

Hello to all the Deviants, it's been few months since i posted anything but some things needed to be accomplished before i can continue with my Guile project.

I'm working on introducing Chun-Li (my fiancé) to the mix but to do that i needed a costume for her.  I had a vision of what that costume should consist of, fabric, texture, design, ect.  I've looked at lot of Cosplay costumes of Chun-Li over the web and what they all have in common they all look cheap.  
What i was looking for was sense of authenticity, what i mean by that "real" street fighter outfit shouldn't be made out of silk like in Chun-Li case but out of more durable material.  What i had in mind was a fabric used on Judo jackets it's a heavy cotton fabric that can withstand lots of pulling tugging and such.  One of the tailors that i talk to said the costume will look like a mail bag, but i don't agree.  If the costume execution is of high quality the costume will look like it supposed to, it might not confirm to the body the way silk does but it will add another feel to it and that's the feel I'm looking for.
Long story short after months of researching and talking to different tailors in states and abroad i had no success.  So i had to compromise, what i did i went to China town in Chicago in search for "Choeng Sam" (it's a Chinese dress).  I bought few of them which i will take to the seamstress for adjustment and fitting.  So i hope the dress will be ready in a week or so.
Mean while i will try to do some tricky low light pic of Chun-Li to keep the project going.
Thank you guys and stay tuned.
