Halloween, Part 2
Well this was probably the most disappointing Halloween in a long time. Since the only people who see me at my job are my coworker and my boss, and it was cold that day… I just wore Chase’s Spike kigu to work over regular clothes. Over the weekend I decided that for Halloween night, I’d wear my DCNU Wonder Woman…

I’ve posted new photos of several costumes! One of them is not really a “new” costume – but it’s one I never wore and never had photos of until now! And as a bonus, here’s a behind-the-scenes video of how we do a white backdrop photoshoot!

One more Wonder Woman update
Leaving for GMX tonight, so last WW update! Chase finished my Wonder Woman chestpiece and tiara, and he’s finishing the belt today. Here they are yesterday afternoon: Finished up Ash’s Ood jacket but really not happy with it; definitely remaking it before Dcon next year. So, since 4 people and K-9 take up quite a bit of space, I’m only…

DCNU Wonder Woman Progress, Doctor Who, etc
done! (almost) Bodice is done except for a few little places I need to clean up. Now onto finishing the bottoms and boots, and finishing Ashley’s Ood jacket. Yesterday we finished shopping for my cousin’s budget 11th Doctor costume. Found a Stetson pretty cheap, and a decent “look a like” pair of boots which we’re going to polish to be…

So anyway, I got it cut out thursday…

More DCNU Wonder Woman Progress
I went over the decorative stitching again last night and it’s much more visible now. The flash still blows it out, so it’s hard to take a picture of like this. I sewed my bra cups into the base also: Another shot of the outer piece: I’m really not happy with the fabric I got for the outside anymore, even…

DCNU Wonder Woman Progress
Last night I put the main bodice together and did the decorative stitching on it. Heres my guidelines drawn on the wrong side: Here’s the 3 layers pinned together, with the stitching done: But it’s a little hard to see.

I also bought a pair of navy blue leggings to do the pants version also – I don’t know if I’ll have time to…
