Next in my 2024 costume wrap up is my Mara Jade co Next in my 2024 costume wrap up is my Mara Jade costume. I wanted to do this Mara look for yeaaars and especially so after Chase did his Luke costume. Finally made myself put it together this year.
Next in my 2024 costume wrap up is my Shin Hati co Next in my 2024 costume wrap up is my Shin Hati costume for dragoncon. The build process for this (and Baylan) was very rushed and hectic, so I didn’t get to post much about them leading up to dcon. I am really happy with how they turned out tho. I still need to finish the cape for Baylan - and I need to trade places with @chasingphotography and make HIM pose on the white backdrop while I take pics - I need good pics of his Baylan Skoll, TLJ Luke, and Bail Organa.
Continuing my 2024 costume wrap up, next is my Tay Continuing my 2024 costume wrap up, next is my Taylor Swift lavender haze costume I made for Dragoncon this year. I fought off the urge to make this costume for months, I didn’t want to add another project to the summer work load. But then I saw a close-enough purple fur at Joann fabrics and I gave in. Plus, I did need something to wear to the concert in Indy. I made the mini dress out of a sequin fabric with a cotton lining, and a jacket is, of course the purple faux fur, lined with satin with an extra big zipper pocket to carry all my stuff at the concert. I also hand-beaded the jacket, it’s hard to see, but it is covered in a ton of little dangly crystal beads. And of course, I rhinestoned the boots, which took way longer than I expected, but I was really happy with the end result.
Next in my 2024 costume wrap up is my honeymoon su Next in my 2024 costume wrap up is my honeymoon suite Princess Leia costume from the comics. I swear it took me forever to finish this - I started on it in November 2023, had all the components done and I just needed to assemble by December… then had to put it on pause from the holidays through our Disney cruise in February while I worked on projects for the cruise. Finally finished it up in March to wear to HSV expo in April!!
Next in my 2024 wrap up is my Star Wars dress I ma Next in my 2024 wrap up is my Star Wars dress I made for @kitkatmemphis ‘s wedding on the Disney cruise! I already just talked a lot about in a recent post, so I’ll just wrap this post up by saying I’m realllly hoping weather cooperates and I can wear this on our upcoming vacation 🤞🤞🤞
Next in my 2024 costume wrap-up - pirate Ariel, fo Next in my 2024 costume wrap-up - pirate Ariel, for our Disney cruise. I needed something for pirate night! I’ve already talked in a previous post just a few days ago how I put this together out of a bunch of stuff I bought or pieces of other costumes. Despite the fact that I didn’t actually MAKE anything for this, I am still really happy with how it came out. This angle really shows off the 3-D printed dingle hopper my husband made for me to wear in my hat.
Ok I think it’s time to start my 2024 costume wr Ok I think it’s time to start my 2024 costume wrap-up posts. Starting with a costume that was NOT on my to do list, a Scarlet Witch Disneybound dress. I made this back in January - we ended up being snowed in for a weekend, none of the supplies I had ordered for other projects had arrived due to the storm, so I was stuck on everything I was working on. I knew I needed to make a costume for a group we were doing on our family Disney cruise in February, and Wanda for the bill, so I dug out the leftover fabric for my Scarlet Witch costume, and put this together in a weekend. It was really fun to wear on the cruise with our big group but looking at pictures afterwards I decided that needed sleeves. Thankfully, I had enough fabric left over to do that and I just added them a couple of weeks ago just in time to shoot her on the white backdrop. I may or may not take her on our next Disney trip. It just depends on the weather!

And lastly in this row of non-costume sewing is th And lastly in this row of non-costume sewing is this skeleton dress I made for Halloween last year. This was a wearable mockup - I was trying to come up with a look-a-like pattern to recreate Disney’s Tiki Bird dress. Unfortunately this fabric SUCKED, I see now why it was in deep clearance at Joann 😹 oh well, I have my pattern for future use now.
I made this Haunted mansion dress back in 2022 usi I made this Haunted mansion dress back in 2022 using the infamous butterick walkway dress pattern. I did it for a tiktok challenge; how fast can you make this dress from start to finish? I had these really cute Haunted Mansion bedsheets I thought would make a really cute dress, and for the contrast panel I got a yard of the wallpaper pattern. I finished in just over 4 hours. But I would’ve preferred to NOT do it that fast, it has fit problems (a common problem with the modern version of the pattern I’ve been told), and I’m not all that happy with the finishings. It hung in my closet for over a year, unworn. Earlier this year I tried it on with a petticoat and that made me like it so much more!! I wore it on our Disney cruise with a sweater and really enjoyed it. I think I may eventually revisit this, at least redo the hem and fix the back closure. If you want to read more about this build (or any of my builds!) I have a much longer page up about it at my blog.

I made this dress for our Disney cruise earlier this year, using this amazing retro inspired Star Wars fabric from knitorious fabric and Charm Patterns’ Liz dress pattern. Planning to take it on our next Disney world trip too, I wanna wear this to Trader Sam’s.

It’s the last night of the Eras tour, and I’m It’s the last night of the Eras tour, and I’m so sad this is ending. But I’m so glad I got to experience it in person in indy with my husband and my bestie. I’m so glad I got to watch livestreams and play mastermind, go to the giant Taylor Swift meetup at Dragoncon, and make new friends. It has been the time of my life 💜
Back in December 2020 I had a random day off work Back in December 2020 I had a random day off work so I decided I was going to do a video of all of my Princess Leia costumes. I did not expect it to take all day to do that 😹 but eventually I’m going to have to set aside another day and film this again and include the 4 other Leia 4 costumes I’ve made since then…
My deluxe edition of Dressing a Galaxy! (Costumes My deluxe edition of Dressing a Galaxy! (Costumes of the Star Wars prequels) I bought this when it was first released and barely touch it except when I want to look at the swatches 😹 If you want a more in depth look I do have a highlighted story saved here from several years ago (it’s under “DAG”) that is much longer than this video. Also I want to say that the book itself is really nice and I do suggest finding a copy for anyone who enjoys these costumes - but there is not much in this book (photos/info) that is not already available online. For me personally the biggest perk it’s just nice to see extreme detailed closeup shots in a book vs a screen!

Pirate Ariel!! This was an outfit I put together f Pirate Ariel!! This was an outfit I put together for pirate night on our Disney cruise earlier this year. I didn’t have to make anything new for it; the shirt and bodice I bought the year before, the blue skirt is my village belle skirt, the black one is my Stevie nicks skirt. The boots are my Star Trek uniform boots. I bought the hat and decorated it with trim leftover from an Elsa doll costume, a feather from Marie Antoinette, a starfish charm I had in my stash, and Chase 3d printed a dinglehopper for me.
