I spent friday night/saturday finishing up everything.
I finished my wig for the pink dress, outside of trimming the lacefront (I should do that this afternoon instead of when we get there… I’ll do that at lunch), and made some hair decorations for it out of leftover materials. I put some snaps on the dress at the bottom to hold the swags in place. I finished up my corset (just needed trim and grommets). I got everything tried on!
The only issue is the shoulder fit still. I think, after Dragoncon, I’m going to go in and remove the shoulder extensions I put in, or at least shorten them – I think they’re about 3/4″ too tall. It’s making the back sit too low so the corset is visible. At this point I don’t want to mess up the dress two days before the con, so for now, I’m leaving it.
I also installed a belt loop on my Leia suit, got my Capt Marvel brooch attached, and finished my Donna headband. Oh and I made a new bag.
And I packed! I’m almost done packing.
And we ran a whole bunch of errands. All that is left is I need to sew my pendant onto my necklace for the pink dress.
So my final line-up is:
1. Captain Marvel
2. Donna Unicorn & the Wasp
3. Leia Comic suit
4. Janet Snakehole
5. Pink Rose dress
6. Queen Aelsa
7. Donna Journey’s End
8. Johanna
9. Anne Boleyn
10. Donna Fires of Pompeii
11. Peggy Carter
12. Alyss
13. Trillian
Costumes I said I might take but they didn’t make the cut:
Rogue as Ms Marvel – I may still throw it in if I have room; but I don’t feel like gluing the mask to my face this year
Glimmer – I wanted to bring it but there was no room. I’d have to get another bin out for it.
Wasp – same thing, no space for the wings.
I’m not really all that excited š But I’m so ready to go, at least.
