I had 3 Mara Jade costumes I always wanted to do - the black jumpsuit, the “Arica” dancer disguise and the green tunic outfit. It only took me 19 years to get to all three 😹 I did the black jumpsuit for Star Wars celebration 3 in 2005, the dancer disguise for dragoncon in 2010, and I finally got around to the green tunic last year for dragoncon 2024. Only took me 19 years to complete the trifecta. That’s why I never say I’ve dropped a costume idea… 😹

Ok April fools is over so here’s where I really stand with my dragoncon 2025 projects/lineup.

I’ve got my Deanna Troi fabric cut and last night I made the decision I wanted to dye it all, so I’ll be doing that tonight/tomorrow. And hopefully it’ll be done in time for me to start sewing this weekend.

I have everything I need for Scarlet Witch; I still have my bodice patterns from my Wandavision version so I’m going to dig those out soon and get started on this!

I’m finally digging in to my Belle ballgown version 3. I’ve got my ideas solidified enough to start and fabric ordered. Yay.

Costume number 4 will remain a mystery for now. I have the fabric, but I don’t know yet that I have the time. Besides my new costumes this year I’ve also got stuff for Chase and my parents (!) to work on.

Returning will be my Arwen blood red dress (it’s 20 this year so coming back out for its anniversary!), Tatooine Padme cuz why not, T’Lyn with the new wig, and Shin with the updates I did for the shoot.

It’s April 1, time to start working on dragoncon

It’s April 1, time to start working on dragoncon costumes for this year!

That time @chasingphotography bought a doublet from museum replicas so he could match my Anne Boleyn costume! My Anne costume is based on the green dress from The Other Boleyn Girl.

I couldn’t decide between these 2 pics so you get both; taken by EBK at dragoncon 2009!

Yesterday was @chasingphotography ‘s birthday! Happy birthday Chase! 😘

Hadn’t posted our Duke Leto and Lady Jessica from Dune costumes in a minute. I need to get him to do a photoshoot in this so I have more photos.

Front and back - Belle’s ballgown

This was my second version of Belle’s ballgown that I made in 2012. Should’ve changed the aspect ration for this one too, oh well. Really hoping to do a new Belle costume this year if I can find the right yellow gold fabric that speaks to me, no luck yet 😫

Front and back - Lucy Ricardo

My Lucy costume from 2017! I always loved this costume she wore in the episode where she gets to be in a movie! (The Hollywood episodes were always my fav in general!) it bums me out I’ve only worn this twice - once at dragoncon and once for this Photoshoot. The headdress really *is* a lot to deal with! #ilovelucy

Front and back - Utena 2022

Ok kinda cheating the theme here since this is not a true “back” photo but more of an “over the shoulder” but I wanted to post Utena. #revolutionarygirlutena

Front and back - Donna Nobles flapper dress

A rare look at the cape. All of my screenshots of the back of this costume weren’t great, so I kinda just made it up, taking elements from the front designs to make something that looked at least similar to the blobs on my references. (Also by this point I was tired of working on this - I’d been beading and embroidering the front panel for a month and was ready to be done!!)

I do love that this dress has a cape. It makes an otherwise pretty static costume fun to swish in. #doctorwho

I love the “back” photo here because Luna was posing right along with me.

Front & back - Dapper Day Dale

Weather is getting nice which puts me in the mind of going to Disney which puts me in the mind of dapper day. For spring dapper day 2021 at WDW my husband and I did Chip and Dale inspired outfits. I really love how my Dale turned out, it was a fun project.

Of course I had to include Bespin Leia. Had to change the aspect ratio a little bit to properly show off the back!
