I like my lulu costume. but I’m not satisfied with it. I wish I could find some lovely grey leather like material and redo the sleeves and skirt. Make the skirt longer in the back. Wider on the sides.
But the thing that really bugs me is the trimming. Yeah, we bought it and sewed it on. It wasn’t that hard. But… it doesn’t really look all that much like Lulu’s. I wish I had the time to paint it all on. I mean, if we redo the skirt – even if we don’t – I could go ahead and take the lace trimming off and paint it on there.
Here’s the thing though. I paid $87 for that lace trimming. Eighty seven frigging dollars for lace for a costume. And I just feel *bad* about taking it off, tossing it in the remnant box in the closet and painting the skirt.
If someone doesn’t take this damn kneaded eraser away from me, I’m going to keep playing with it til the end of time. Argh! Stupid thing!
