Dragoncon kinda signals the end of the "season" for me - I generally start thinking about next year around this time of the year. So here's my thoughts for next year... Halloween/GMX: Not making anything new for GMX - but I'm going to make Briar Rose for Halloween. I need to finish off my new Aurora wig I bought last year, and it'll be pretty simple. For GMX, provided ...
Last round, Disney costumes & other random stuff I want to do. Belle's Christmas dress. I'll do this eventually! Maybe this year! Megara from Hercules. One of my fav Disney girls! I was going to do this for Halloween 2004 but didn't to do the wig... so I did my first Leia costume instead! Giselle's Pink Curtain dress from Enchanted. I love this little dress! This is what I wanted for ...
Continuing with Movie costumes I want to do! Arwen's Chase dress. I did this in 2002 but I was off on a lot of things, I've always wanted to make it again because I love this dress. Arwen's Hope Dress. I love the purple velvet and the lavender and white sleeves... I almost made this out of the purple velvet my mum gave me for christmas a few years ago, but ...
Movie costumes I want to do! Part 1. Viola from Shakespeare in Love. I love this dress! Anne Boleyn from The Other Boleyn Girl - again! I love this blue dress, it's really similar to the green one I did, but I love the colour and am thinking of doing it for Dragoncon this year. Katrina from Sleepy Hollow. This is such a neat looking dress, I'd love to make it ...
Continuing Star Wars costumes I want to do! Bespin Leia - duh! I've had this sort-of put together since 2006. I pulled it back out earlier this year to start on it again - I've decided to scrap the material I had and start over with a different fabric. I'm hoping to have it done later this year. (edit: finally did it in 2017, so I added the actual costume photo!) Leia. ...
Today is Star Wars costumes I want to do... and I'm going to split this into 2, because I somehow still have a lot of Star Wars costumes I want to do! Viqi Shesh. I just think this is a beautiful oufit. Jarael. Another one that I just love this outfit. I'm considering doing this for Dragoncon. Bastila Shan. I like her outfit, and I could actually do this without any ...
Continuing the posts of pics from my want-to-do folder! DC Comics costumes, including Wonder Woman. Ame-Comi Black Canary. I'm doing this one for Dragoncon this year, too. (edit: again, I must have deleted this photo after I did the costume, so I am substituting a picture of my finished costume :) ) Supergirl. This is the only version of her costume that has ever said "make me!" - but I'm not sure ...
I keep a folder of costumes/characters I like on my computer... anytime I find something I think is neat I save it and keep it in there for inspiration. I thought I'd share some of the things I've had in that folder. Part 1 is Marvel superhero costumes. 90s Rogue. I've wanted to do this costume for YEARS but have just never gotten around to it. One day I will. ...
what I finished, what I didn't get to, and 2010... Here's what I said at the end of 2008 that I'd like to do in 09... 1. Finish all those things I said I was going to finish this year, esp. Bespin Leia - HA! nope. 2. Silk Spectre I - yes! 3. Golden Age Black Canary - yes 4. Belle's Ballgown Remake - still no, waiting on Chase to finish Beast. 5. Princess Nuala - nope 6. Dawn ...
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 ...
