New Costume: Anne Boleyn
I've finished my Anne Boleyn costume and have added it to my portfolio!

I'm a nasty little thief, stealing pictures from other people. I love this shot of my Peggy with the USO Girls from Kaydee: Although it makes me think my jacket is a little big? I need to adjust the belt up higher and it's already wrinkling at that lower point. Hm. Anne onstage, from Sean Peck: Two gorgeous shots of my Johanna, the first from Jimmy Burns and the second ...
Ok, I think this is the last costume wrap-up post I need to do. Due to the crowds I only got to wear Anne once. I probably would have braved it again if I didn't already have proof that someone stepping on my skirt could rip it - Chase accidently stepped on the side of it as we were heading back to the room and pulled the skirt from the ...

Finished putting the "bark" on the Johanna shirt last night - tonight I'll start applying the metal pieces/nail heads, and start on the collar and bracelet piece. I also got all of the hook-and-eyes and snaps attached to the dress to keep it and the shirt in place. Then I sewed on snaps onto my Anne Boleyn dress to hold the back and place. Between those two things I ...
I took some "mostly finished" pics of Anne on the dressform at lunch. As I was messing with it brought to mind the handful of things I still need to do. -Reposition hook-and-eye on corset -Test fit of back panel with it all on - maybe replace hook-and-eyes with snaps? -fray check the zipper interior -Sew ribbon onto bottom hem so I can loop it around my wrist and carry ...
I gave up on waiting on the rest of the appliques for the neckline. I pulled off the few I had on there, went to Hancock's yesterday morning and bought some trim. But let's start at the beginning. Friday I finished my corset. Saturday I ran out to Joann's since I had a gift card I needed fabric for my surprise costume. Got all that, came home and worked on ...
So remember yesterday how I said I "might" make a new corset? Well I made one last night. All scraps and stuff I already had: Some white cotton scraps for the lining, my leftover Haunted Mansion wallpaper for the outer layer. I had the boning, got the busk out of my old corset, and all the edging I had (which is why the corset is in white and the tabs ...
Well, I have pictures, but I didn't get a thing done last night, except for trying it on, realizing my back panel didn't fit right and needs to be remade, getting my undersleeves pinned into place, and discovering I hate my corset. Onto pics! So yeah, the dress fits me MUCH differently than the dressform, so the back panel I made doesn't fit right once it's on me. So Chase ...
It's been a shitty past couple of days. That being said, I'm beyond frustrated with a couple of sellers. I bought two things on June 30th - some appliques from an ebay seller for the neckline on Anne, which you've all seen me complain about lately, and then also some buttons from an etsy seller on the same day. I haven't received either of them. I just thought of the ...
