Yesterday was errand day - after breakfast and a haircut, we went to Tandy, Hobby Lobby, the wig store, and a shoe store. For me all of those were busts; didn't find anything at the wig store or shoe store, the only place i got something was Hobby Lobby. But, I got all the closures on the Zaphod jacket finished, and the front buttons sewn on. I started going through ...
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 ...
So I pretty much finished my Romana I dress last night. First, the MST3K shot because I watched Catalina Caper last night. Even though it's kinda impossible to read. Then, before I put the sleeves on: One sleeve on: And mostly done: I may need to take the sides up a bit. I like the way it fits right now but it is a tiny bit big in the ...
I've been digging today, trying to find the best reference I could for the brooch-thing on the front of the Romana Ribos Operation dress. And after digging for hours I realised there isn't really one good place with a collection of photos of this dress. So I thought I'd share the best references I have of the costume for anyone else who is out there hunting like I was today. ...
I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. After four days of sleeping in, it was really hard to get up and come to work this morning. Saturday we went to Chris & Leah's wedding in Nashville. It was really pretty - wish we could have stayed longer but we drove back home that night. It was a fun quick little road trip and we listened to Goblet of Fire ...
I was thinking of making Donna's Runaway Bride costume for Dragoncon. That's NOT the 4th costume I had in mind; but it would be cheaper and quicker to make. It's going in the maybe pile for now - I'll see how things are looking in July. I'd definitely make it instead of buying something; it would be an easy two day project for the basics, and then some beading. I'm ...
So as I mentioned I completely screwed up the front of my Romana dress and had to order more fabric to re-do it (so; in case you're counting, that's 16 yards worth of fabric I've poured into this dress thus far.) I remade the front section yesterday; I decided to do the pleated section has a separate piece on top of the dress, since that was the whole problem I had ...
So, I have my Dragoncon costume schedule pretty much finalized. Not sure I'm going to do that fourth one I mentioned; just depends on time and money. But, here's what we stand on them: 1. Romana I As you can see from my most recent post I messed it up! LOL. I ordered more fabric and I'm hoping to have the dress done this weekend, and the cape hopefully done by ...
Well I kinda messed up my Romana dress this weekend and had to order more fabric last night. So there's really nothing to post about the dress besides that. I did start playing with the cape. I'm going to need more feathers, but I was just getting an idea of what it was going to look like:
The back is put together, and I started pleating the front sections: I stopped since I need my extra fabric. Hopefully it'll be here tomorrow.
