Ceremonial Leia and Wonder Woman updates!

Today is Chase’s birthday! šŸ™‚ We had cake last night, and macaroni grill.

Last night, I put together the bodice for Belle. It’s HUGE. I cut it out at the size I usually use, which is usually a *little* big, but this looks like it’s at least 3 or 4 sizes too big. Crazy stuff. Nothing that can’t be fixed, I was just kinda flabbergasted when I put it on the dressform last night after sewing all the pieces together, and saw how big it was.

Anyway, as for stuff that I actually NEED to be working on —
WW is almost done. Chase is cutting out the tiara tonight, we are going to get it all glued together, and get the velcro placed for the chest pieces. She’s almost done, I’m not worried about it. Here’s some progress pics:

Ceremonial Leia on the hand… the belt and necklace are no problem, they are nearly done. The dress on the other hand… the neckline is all jacked up. It won’t lay flat, the facing keeps wanting to roll up, which pushes the edge of sleeve out, too. Mum is going to look at it with me tonight and see what we can do it about it.

Anyway, here’s a progress shot of the belt and the necklace pieces:

I also dug out my shoes I bought for Leia last year… I found them at goodwill for $5, and I can tell they’ve hardly ever been worn (probably somebody’s prom shoes), because they are completely stiff and uncomfortable LOL. but they are perfect, so I can deal!

Anyway, the problems with the dress have made me realise this is probably going to be another stepping stone. I’ll probably make a 3rd version, fixing the problems from this version. Just a new dress, though, as the belt and necklace and shoes are coming out fine.
