    Dragoncon 2011 Costume Recap

    First up, Supergirl. My plan was to wear Supergirl all Thursday night; I ended up wearing it for about 20 minutes because I wanted to put on Donna. So now that Supergirl was out of the way (LOL) I wore Donna the rest of the night – there were so many Doctor Who people around and with K9 out, it…

    Enchantress and Hippolyta Updates

    Here are the updates I did to Enchantress & Hippolyta. Enchantress: New crown – taller, slightly different shape, should hopefully be easier to put on than the old one. New wig – at least, the one that I was supposed to wear at ECCC and couldn’t get it on with the crown. Works now. Updated Bodice – added some more…

    Hippolyta build

    I fell in love with this costume back in October I think it was, and told Chase I wanted to do it for MidSouthCon. I started working on stuff back in January, and when I needed a break from Enchantress I’d go back to work on Hippolyta. I started out with a halter top made of the chiffon, and a…

    costume updates: last night I put the straps on the bodice. I wasn’t going to, but the cotton base of the whole thing ripped a bit at one of the grommets. I didn’t use my usual cotton, it was a much thinner cotton, and I think that was the problem. I reinforced it, but to keep from having to put…

    Enchantress pants!!

    love was such an easy game to play! for real I did nothing interesting yesterday. Chase was gone shooting the tennis tournament nearly all day. I did laundry all day (managed to do all of it!!) and sewed. Worked on my puzzle. My parents and Ash and her parents came over to watch the Tiger game which SUCKED. Not that…

    what’s left: adjusting the gloves. they’re a little too long, I need to take some of the length off so the top sits right. will take about 5 minutes. belt fit. I just made an extra long belt, I need to put it on me with the bodice and cut off the extra length and put some velcro on. finish…

    my day off!! :D

    I had today off! OMG I was so excited over it, LOL. Went and got my haircut this morning. Not too much, since I’m growing it out for my Donna costume. Showed her to the guy who cuts my hair, Frankie, and he said I wouldn’t have any problem getting that length by then and he’d make sure my bangs…

    Enchantress boots progress

    I’ve nearly got the bodice done – I’m trying to decide if I want to keep the busk in the front or go without. I’m not liking how it fits with the busk at the moment. I’m thinking it might be better if I shorten it, so Chase is trimming it down for me tonight. Then I’ll see again, if…

    snowing!!

    It’s snowing AGAIN! I don’t know man. Got to leave work early though so that’s a plus. I’ve got quite a few costumes I could do some nice shots of out in the snow. We don’t get a lot of snow here – usually it’s only like once a year if that – so when it does it’s a great…

    Enchantress skirt and boots!

    As a costumer, I hate that moment when you see someone say, “I’ve never seen anyone do this costume well.” And you’ve done that costume and all you can think is, “omg, did they see mine and think it was crap? Is it crap? maybe they never saw it. or maybe they did and they think it’s crap!!” LOL. Anyway…
