So MTAC was pretty much ok. Like I said in my previous post, I wore Belle, then Utena -- I need to fix the waistband on Belle, as I said last post. Also, it was too darn cold to wear the shoes I brought to wear with this!! LOL I opted for my tennis shoes instead! Link is ambushed by Mario and Luigi! I wrote pretty much everything I needed ...
I've finished my Wonder Woman costume and have added it to my portfolio!
Friday, I did indeed wear Arwen, and got a few new pics. I went without the wig most of the time, only put it on for the pictures. I wore Susan first thing Saturday morning - it was quite interesting having to drive the 45 minutes to the con hotel while wearing this (I didn't wear the wig while I was driving, though, LOL) Friday I discovered that Death of Rats ...
Today is Chase's birthday! :) We had cake last night, and macaroni grill. Last night, I put together the bodice for Belle. It's HUGE. I cut it out at the size I usually use, which is usually a *little* big, but this looks like it's at least 3 or 4 sizes too big. Crazy stuff. Nothing that can't be fixed, I was just kinda flabbergasted when I put it on the dressform last ...
I'm starting to get worried that all of my stuff won't be done by this weekend. If my metal comes for WW tomorrow, I should be ok on that. Chase has got the two main chest pieces cut, the belt and tiara will come off the next piece I'm waiting on. My gauntlets won't take long. Tonight I decided I hate the fabric I was using for my Ceremonial Leia ...
I've been busy the last couple of nights, so I haven't really made much progress on anything. I plan on buckling down next week and getting at least the ceremonial base dress finished... like I said, need to re-do the top. I'm not worried about the sleeves, except for where they meet on the bodice, since I didn't get that right last time, but otherwise I was happy with how ...
Chase gets to go play outside shooting rockets with my mum's class today, while i'm stuck here at stinky work :( I guess this is, somehow, kinda twisted payback for all the times he had to be at work while I lazed around at his apartment. haha. He got a haircut last night; 70s Han hair is gone! It's back to short and spikeish. Right now, Chase's username on the Southern ...
Weekend after next is St Patrick's Day; we're planning on going to Atlanta again for their big parade, with the 501st/RL. I'm - hopefully - wearing Queen Amidala, the parade dress. After the mixup last year I'm a little skittish about things falling through again. On top of that, a bunch of our local members have decided not to go. We're still going; I'm just not all that excited ...
At the beginning of the year I said I wanted to do: 1. Hoth Leia 2. Darth Vader 3. Padme's Lake dress 4. Bespin Leia 5. Finish Yuuko 6. Padme's Funeral Dress 7. Wonder Woman 8. The Bride 9. White Witch 10. Dorothy 11. ANH Leia 12. Team Zissou outfit So what did I finish? Hoth Leia? Yes, plus Bespin Escape: Darth Vader? Yes: Padme Lake Dress? Yes, twice!: Bespin Leia? Nope. Bought the materials, haven't touched them. Finish Yuuko? Somewhat - ...
First off, my new toy came today! oh heck yes... New Leia pics we took a while back-- I want to do the Rebel Legion trading cards this time around, so I needed better pics of some of my costumes. Next up - padme lake dress -- stormtrooper -- imperial officer -- maybe the parade dress Although, speaking of that, when I was cleaning and organizing my costume closet the ...
