Romana I progress

Here's the mostly finished dress with the wig. This weekend I got the cape put together, although I ran short of fabric for the hood. I ran out and got some more yesterday so I'm going to finish the base of it up this week. Here it is with my feathers pinned on: I started on one of my other dragoncon projects yesterday... I got my mock-up of it almost ...

Corde wrap-up

Everybody who knows me knows I've been wanting to do this costume for some time LOL I went into this thinking, oh, it'll be quick! Haha, yeah right. Started out with just a basic white robe first. Lined the sleeves with white satin. Then it was time to stamp. I never did figure out *exactly* what the pattern was on the real thing - I ended up going with a ...

Dragoncon2006: Saturday pics!

Saturday morning was the parade! I had to iron that monster of my lake dress, and we didn't really get my hair on right - we were in a hurry because we were running late! Neither of us went to the 501st pic, but by the time we got to the staging area, the parade was just starting, so that was lucky! Since the Rebel Legion and 501st march last, ...

Progress updates

It's so strange being able to pack my costumes - and not have to worry about shipping or airlines! This is the first time I've driven to Dcon, and the first time in a looong time I've not shipped costumes or had to store things in my luggage. It's an odd experience, but a good one. Chase's costume is almoooooost there. Just a few more things. I just finished my ...

Weathering Corde

Weathering the handmaiden robe! This is tough. It was hard to cover up all that stamping work. Used a combo of dye and paint.

Handmaiden Corde, done!

I finished the handmaiden this morning!! :D Well, almost, I've got to hem the sleeves of the underdress but that's it. I'm so excited I got one completely finished. I do still have to weather it but technically it's done, I could wear it today if I needed to :) Tonight I'll finish blue Belle and the upgrades to yellow belle, and work on the mando. Mum has tomorrow off, so ...
