costume catch up

So I posted my Dragoncon list the other day but didn't really go over it. I thought I'd post it again and update each. 1. Lady Gaga I've got the top basically made. I've got the organza cut to cover it, but haven't put it on yet - I'm worried I might run out since I'm using the same organza on costume #3, and if I do I don't want to end ...

today’s princess… Padme Robe

Sorry I didn't post yesterday! I was exhausted! It's "No Kevin Week" at work - he's at camp, so we're having to do his job. Boy do you appreciate all the hard work he does when he's not there! I came home and went to sleep... then woke up and made some ruffles. More on that later. I had this done sunday night and meant to post it yesterday. Sorry! :( ...

I bought the version that has the PT and OT on one, for our wii. We previously had the two separate games ...

Jane and Batgirl updates

So I'm building a new corset, and it's different than any one I've ever made. For one, I've never made a corset with an open front - I had no idea how to do that, and I had to read the instructions 20 times to understand it. But I successfully got the hoop side in - I'm so proud! I finally got the mythical shoes for this costume from Target. The ...

Lady Gaga costume

I love Lady Gaga. I have planned on doing one of her costumes for Dragoncon for a while, but couldn't make up my mind which one - it was a tie between the "Mickey Mouse" costume from the Paparazzi video or the "Black Max" costume from the Bad Romance video. I was leaning towards Black Max because it was a bit more simple, with a wig I could reuse. But ...
