    Dressform Pics

    Here’s everything so far. I’m only missing 3 actually so maybe I should have waited, but our server is down at work and I’m bored. Belldandy and Urd from 2003 and 2002, respectively. These two costumes have really stood the test of time. I knew Belldandy was in good shape since I wore her to Momocon earlier this year, but…

    GMX Pics: Part 2

    Got the rest of my pics uploaded last night! A few pics of Sarah Sanderson from friday night: Time Lords visiting the Doctor… Kevin really was out of his element in this costume – the collar was uncomfortable for him, he had trouble walking in it – but he FELT really cool, haha. Peggy with a couple of Caps: I…

    Group progress: Time Lord Updates

    All Time Lords, all the time this weekend. Derek’s is completely done YAY… mine is done except for putting on some hook and eyes. Chases’s just need hems and to finish the belt.

    So, haven’t had much to post lately. I finished up the main part of Ash’s Mary costume, I’m quite happy with how it turned out. We just need to get her shirt fabric, and making the shirt won’t take long. Hem her skirt and weather it all and we’re good to go and I can mark another one off my…

    I have finally finished the sleeves, and started attaching them. I decided to re-do mine, again, since I am a masochist, apparently. But, here’s a photo of the robes this past weekend when I put a hoop in the bottom to see how it looked. We still need to buy cotton for the underrobes, the velvet for the upper cape/collar…

    Three Time Lord robes in-progress Derek’s needs the sleeve pieces sewn together, Chase’s has the sleeves cut but I need to go through and put the stabilizer and interfacing and lining on.

    Random costume notes

    Not a lot to mention recently. I posted on my main page that I got my Batgirl mask! I’m so excited about it. I’m doing the new 52 version, mostly because I like the purple cape. I’ve only barely started planning it; I’ve ordered some swatches for the suit and I’m going to start patterning it soon. I got my…
