I fell in love with this costume back in October I think it was, and told Chase I wanted to do it for MidSouthCon. I started working on stuff back in January, and when I needed a break from Enchantress I'd go back to work on Hippolyta. I started out with a halter top made of the chiffon, and a fairly simple cape. Chase sculpted the chest armor, shoulder pieces ...
First, work: Bodice: finished!! Made the belt and got it attached. Cape: finished!! Drape: not even. Waist wrap: finished!! Shoes: started on them, finishing tonight. Skirt: making progress.

Jewelry: 95% done, just need to put the necklace ...

Anyway - been working on Enchantress. I've been having issues with ...
Starting working on stuff for March - Enchantress for Emerald City Comic Con, and a surprise for MidSouthCon. The surprise is actually going to end up being pretty easy on my sewing side. Enchantress is going to be fairly easy as well - I got my fabric samples for her yesterday and I'm excited :) Here's what I have going on the surprise... The halter top still needs straps and elastic. ...
