Dressform Pics

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 ...

Katsucon 2003 Pics!

I'm still recovering from katsucon. But I did update the cosplay site, with new costume junk and a con report! There weren't many stories to tell, but you can read what I did those few days anyway. Belldandy came out much better than I expected. I was so frustrated over the wig I wondered if I would even wear the stupid thing at the convention. But it ended up being ...

Preliminary Amalthea photos Holy mother of PERCY it is SO TIGHT. It's like wearing a corset. Which I guess is a good thing cause I don't need any straps to keep it up or anything!

Just a random update for those who don't read my cosplay journal: Jupiter: 100% Utena: 100% Belldandy: 90% - everything done except finishing the wig (which is giving me a headache) and making her foot things.

Fabric shopping

We went to hancock's day-before-yesterday to use this coupon kristie had saved for us (but we forgot to use the coupon!) I got more fabric for amalthea - they didn't have enough first time I got it and I thought I could get away with what we had... but I needed more. Luckily they had gotten another bolt of the same stuff in, so we got some more of that. ...

Amalthea & Utena updates

I finished Sakura, except I'm going to make some loose socks to wear with it. I got a pattern and fabric for Amalthea yesterday. I got some pretty light lavender satin for it... but they didn't have what we wanted of it - 4 1/2 yards. THey only have 3.75 or something. So I got that and decided to make the skirt less full. I found fabric for Utena's jacket, but neither mom ...

Cut pattern for Amalthea out last night. I don't expect it'll take too long. If there weather warms up slightly, dad and I are going to go out to the park and take new pics of Utena this weekend.
