Chase and I got my Donna belt put together last night so I tried it all on. Still got to add a loop to to it. My hair's not quite there yet, and I forgot how pale that tank top photographs - might dye it. Also the jacket still needs buttons, I need to find jeans, and figure out shoes...

I have a pattern that should be easy enough to mod. Found shirt fabric I like. Hair is a work-in-progress :) Should be long enough by Dragoncon. Lady Blackhawk I haven't done much of anything ...
