dragoncon2013
Below you’ll find my blog posts and photos about our twelfth trip to Dragoncon in 2013. This includes planning, costume construction, photos and trip reports. For this year my new costumes were Romana I, Donna Noble Runaway Bride, Trillian and Zaphod, Glimmer and Bow, and 70s Supergirl, so construction posts for those costumes are included.

Romana I progress…
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…

Dragoncon 2013 Costumes
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…

Romana updates
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:

Dragoncon Thinking
Now that C2E2 is over I can start planning Dragoncon stuff. I’m only planning on making 4 new costumes for myself; maybe only 3. I’ve got a work schedule worked out, and if I finish the 3 first ones by August, then I’ll go ahead and tackle the 4th (the 4th will be easy to make; it’s just budgeting factors.)…

Romana I progress
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.

You guys
I’m so excited!!! There’s been a costume I’ve wanted Chase to do since we MET and he’s agreed to do it this year for Dragoncon! Which kinda throws my Dragoncon schedule into a tizzy because now there’s a costume I want to make for myself to go with his and that’s stuffing my schedule a little too full, so something…

Romana I start!
I got Romana I started this weekend. I originally bought 8 yards of fabric – the Jet Set Poly from Joann’s. I bought 8 yards because, besides needing extra for the pleated section, I’m also self-lining it since it’s so thin. I’m using good old Simplicity 9891 – mine has been used so many times it looks like a giant…

Fionna and Romana Updates
I got a lot of sewing done this weekend; I mostly finished my Fionna backpack, which I will upload pics of soon. I’m still figuring out the back section, and I need to attach the straps. It was a pain in the butt, and I should have just bought one, but now that I’ve made it I’m sticking with it.…

Romana I Costume Planning
Yay, first post on my Romana I costume! I finally started scouting some fabric today. I ended up buying some fabric from Joann’s online, for the dress. I also scouted out some furry feathery things for the cape. I have a good bit of yardage of white fur from Emma leftover, I don’t think it’s enough, but it’s a start.…
