Meeting with the Polish representatives

How do you feel about the upcoming ECG Finals?
Shironi: It's my first time and I'm really nervous, but also excited. I'm shy and I'm not good at English, but I hope this is going be a great journey!

LinaSakura: It was my dream to be a part of the huge ECG family and I can't believe that we're new Team Poland. I think it will be an amazing time with super talented and friendly people. So I'm happy, excited and nervous at the same time, it's like a funny mix of feelings, but I know it's gonna be ok. It could be the best time of our lives!
 

Why did you decide to make these characters for the selections?
LinaSakura: It's my fault! I'm a huge Once Upon a Time fan since the first season of this show and I've always wanted to make one of Regina's dresses, but I know that with my baby face I'm more like Snow White. And here we have Shioni's part in this story. We wanted to make something for selections, but we didn’t know what exactly, also she's really picky. We spent almost a month searching and one day I wrote her about “OUAT”. She's not into tv shows, but after a few episodes she said that Regina – aka Evil Queen – was amazing and maybe we should give it a try.

Shironi: Evil Queen is just beautiful, and all her outfits are stunning! I like her charisma and those amazing royal moves and evil face expression.

LinaSakura: So when she said that Regina was a great idea, I had only one option: princess Snow. She's not my favourite character, but her outfits are amazing, especially the white one and some of my friends told me that I've her face.
 

Which part of your costume are you the proudest of?
Shironi: I sew on a thousand of silver beads, it was like nightmare, but now I can say that all those sleepless nights were worth every second! I'm proud of every single flower pattern I sew on the jacket and corset. Regina's outfit is my best costume.

LinaSakura: Snow's outfit was really complicated, and I can't say which part I'm proudest of. I think I'm proud of myself, because I've made it! I've had some doubts while I sew on beads or when I had problems with the jacket, but I'm a fighter and now I can say that this is one of my best works.
 

Can you give us a hint about what you plan to do for the Finals?
LinaSakura: Sure! We have a few ideas for finals, but after a talking it over for a month, we decided to make something in which we feel confident and it’s from one of our favourite universes.

Shironi: We've decided to make Elsa and Anna from Frozen, but not from the regular movie. We saw the trailer for Olaf's Frozen Adventure and we fell in love with the new dresses. Also, this short movie is great and all songs are so pretty. I can't wait to make this beautiful Elsa outfit!

LinaSakura: I've two of Anna's dresses from the first movie and yes, I need another one! I've a whole presentation in my mind since I saw Olaf's Frozen Adventure in cinema and I'm really excited!

And now you’ll see LinaSakura and Shironi on stage at Japan Expo for the finals on July 7: let’s wish them the best of luck!
