I ran across my original 2005 costume list on the Jedi Council boards, did I get it all done?
I said I’d do:
-Padme ep 1 Parade gown
Done! Besides the Princesses, this was my biggest project of the year, and the one I worked on longest. I’m still quite proud of it
-Qui-Gon Jinn for my father
Done! It wasn’t perfect, far from it, but everyone recognized him as Qui-Gon. I love the robe, and have adopted it as my Slave Leia robe.
-Mara Jade
Done! I didn’t think I’d care so much about this costume, but I love wearing it, and I’m in the process of re-doing the legs for wearing it even more next year.
-Yuuko from XXXholic
Done! Well, mostly. It was a pain in the ass to make, and it’s still not really finished, but I did like how it looked. I’m going to finish it for MTAC this year.
-Sailorjupiter from Pretty Guardian Sailormoon
Dropped. I dropped it mostly because the fabric I ordered ended up being unavailable – and couldn’t find anything else I liked. At the moment I have no plans to pursue it…
-Magik from The New Mutants
Dropped. It would have been too much work that I didn’t have time for – and armour work on that. I’d still like to do it, but I have another big armour costume for this year so I doubt I’ll ever do it… although… while writing this I had a change of heart… hm… maybe for Dragoncon, lol.
-Starfire from Teen Titans
Done! I adored wearing this. It was easy to make, and I got to be orange. LOL. My favourite part was the way kids reacted… but then, that’s the best part of any costume!
-Yzma from the Emperor’s New Groove
Dropped. This was dropped because of the Dragoncon disney group – we didn’t want to out-Disney ourselves. I still think it would be hilarious to do.
-Polychrome from Road to Oz
Half done. I almost had her done for Dragoncon, but had to stop due to problems with my serger… I didn’t have time to worry with it while trying to get the Princesses done. So one weekend I’ll suppose I’ll sit down and finish it, and probably wear it to Comic Con or Dragoncon.
-Arwen’s Blood Red dress
Done! I was so pleased with how it came out. It’s so pretty to wear…
-Mephistopheles from Goethe’s Faust
Bought materials. I ALMOST got it going for Halloween, but decided to stop so I could give it the time it deserved. I’m going to finish it over the summer, to wear at Dragoncon.
-Guinevere from King Arthur
Dropped. I never actually saw the movie… lol. I still think it’s a pretty dress, but I have other things I want to work on…
And what did I add to my list?
-Leia’s Rebel Uniform
My “other” Dragoncon project besides the princesses!
-Leia’s Metal Bikini
The costume I said I’d never do! But I did and I loved it!
-Ceremonial Leia
Just a really quick version for Halloween when I realized I wasn’t going to be able to dig into Mephistopheles.
And finally…
-Disney Group
A big Disney group for Dragoncon!! This took up most of my summer and is the reason a lot of other stuff got dropped. Totally worth it!
