Here's everything so far. I'm only missing 3 actually so maybe I should have waited, but our server is down at work and I'm bored. Belldandy and Urd from 2003 and 2002, respectively. These two costumes have really stood the test of time. I knew Belldandy was in good shape since I wore her to Momocon earlier this year, but Urd has been packed in a bag for several years. The cape's a ...
A couple of weeks ago, I had planned to do an outdoor location photoshoot with Chasing Photography of my new Belle ballgown. Well, we got rained out. So, to make up for it, we did a white backdrop shoot of four of my Belle costumes! I've updated each of my portfolio pages with some of my favourites :)
What I accomplished in 2008 (and what I didn't, LOL) Well it was weird year for me, costume-wise, because the first part of the year was eaten by my wedding, both financially and time-wise. I was still attemping to work on stuff - to make things that were easy, or that I already had material for. I think after the wedding and our move after everything kinda got settled I tried ...
Friday night - like I said we didn't go to the con that night, we stayed home and watched the game. Anyway, Saturday morning we got up pretty early, I put on Belle, we loaded up the car, got some breakfast and headed over to the con. Unfortunately it rained and stormed all day long, so it wasn't fun going back and forth between the hotel and the car. We ...
I've finished my Padme lake gown (4th version!) and have added it to my portfolio!
Last night I cut out my boot covers, hemmed my cape, and did a lot of dyeing. It took several rounds but I finally got the fabric about the right colour, I'm ok with it. Chase also finished the necklace and armbands for the Lake Dress last night -- he was going to paint them at work today, so hopefully I will have that silly thing finally up for sale ...
Well no pics last night, at least none of me. I did finally finish re-sewing the sleeves onto my green Belle dress, and took some pics of it - The sleeves finally stay up properly... I wanted to try to take pictures of it outside this weekend, but it looks like we're supposed to get a lot of rain... so I may iron it and throw it on tonight if ...
I really want to pull out the backdrop and do a photoshoot tonight. I need to finish sewing my other green Belle sleeve on, and I could take pics of it tonight. I also reeeeeeally need to dig out my "doll" Leia costume I made for Dragoncon and never wore, and take pics of it. I also want to take backdrop pics of Ewok Leia and Endor Gear Leia (those ...
"Great costumes!" thanks! "Are they all yours?" no, most of them I stole. don't tell anybody. Move, Indiana! Anyway, I finished the bodice last night - got all the grommets in, and it was actually the easiest job I've ever had of it - I didn't ruin any of them so I didn't need my extras! My to-do list for tonight: -Hem skirt -Finish gathering puffy sleeves -add trim to ...
As I said last update, I had gotten the skirt basically put together. It's still where it was back then - the gathering at the waistband needs to be tweaked, I need to put the waistband on, and hem it. (I think I am going to leave it a little longer than the dress in the movie is - in the movie it comes right above her ankles - I ...
