Finished Costume: Sleeping Beauty

I've finished my Princess Aurora costume and have added it to the portfolio!

Sleeping Beauty nearly done

All that's left is sewing the collar in place, and putting a few snaps in on the back to hold it down. And i need to iron it. Chase is painting my crown today so I can sew it into my wig tonight. I'm pretty pleased with how it's turned out.

the workroom – 10/30

Here's some more progress on the prop room. We finally got the other shelves up, and unpacked a few more things. The boxes migrated. We're going to be working on it some more tonight, to try to get it passable for having company over this weekend.

More Sleeping Beauty progress

two more days to go... Got to get the collar attached, get the boning and grommets put into the bodice, and get the pointed section attached. Oh and hem the chiffon up the front.

For the corset section I need to first of all figure ...

We're house-sitting next week, ...

Sleeping Beauty - purple/lavender version. Basically, both of these fabrics are things I had leftover and wanted to use and get out of the way. I couldn't decide what to use them for, I ...
