I think I am going to have to totally redo the gauze's on the skirt of the tunic. 5 days to fix it, and do two more.

Icarus-Stop being so amazing.
But not really.

Will that be your outfit for the Alice in Wonderland outing?

Spoiler:

Just needs some fastenings at the back, and a billion and one roses, and a belt. But the base is done!

That she did. I was afraid, very afraid.

I suppose it's about time I posted something in this thread ~~make me feel like I've actually done something~~

My Millenium Puzzle is done: made from cardboard and paperclay

Spoiler:

And part of my Rei is done:

Spoiler:

Cheongsam thing will be done in two pieces as it didn't sit very nicely when I did it as an all in one with a belt around the middle. Used heat and bond for the first time on the yin yang symbol. I think I'm in love with the stuff lol

By PIe. 24/01/10, 02:54 pm

@Kyokyo: Millennium Puzzle looks absolutely amazing, I hope my Millennium Ring turns out half that good

By Icarus. 24/01/10, 02:57 pm

Thanks guys~~~!

@Thornback: Yep~ but the tail coat is pretty stiff, so I'm a little worried about sitting in the cinema seats with it on lol
I'm switching dark rabbit cause I can't be stuffed painting the eyebrows 8D

@kyokyogirl: ttly your fault though XD
(seriously have the urge to bite on that epic puzzle of yours....)

I love this thread.

My god everyone has improved so much! ;A; Except for Static who was always amazing.

My progress? Photos tomorrow hopefully, atm it's a pile of fabric and lace and bias and interfacing. Not attractive.

@kyouko ZOMG that millenium puzzle is AWSOME o.o

By sakuramiyabi. 25/01/10, 04:51 pm

Finished hemming one skirt and ironing in the pleats only to realize i need half a metre more to cover my ass >> and i've made the skirt short ... Very short XD ahaha i think i should make a pannier if i have time. Sewing bias onto another skirt ... And then ironing pleats ... I should probably hem it first but >> i don't have the right colour of thread >|

Today I finished my applique and assembled both the top layer and the lining of my Flonne jacket! Very Happy

Just need to sew the collar on the lining & sew the two layers together, and the jacket is done. n_n Will try get some pics soon.

Wow, you guys are making such fantastic progress.

Spoiler:

Just need to add sleeves. It's wonky around the collar, so I will just hide that. First time fully making a blazer/shirt @___@ I think its okay.

By Static. 26/01/10, 01:54 am

It's official - I am 4.5m short of lace. I am going to buy an extra 6, in case I messed up AGAIN. This is very frustrating!! What the hell kind of demon-dress uses over 26 metres of lace?! IT DOES NOT NEED MOAR RACE. GUH.

However, it looks pretty awesome Very Happy

By Li-Bai. 26/01/10, 08:29 am

^ That is a hella lot of lace. What cosplay is that for, anyway? @____@

Weird little story about lace. I once bought some lace to make a Songstress cosplay and around the same time I was making a Lucrecia cosplay. I needed some lace for the front of Lucrecia's shirt so I decided to take a bit from what I had there'd be plenty left. In the end it turns out I was ONE CENTIMETRE short. (Fortunately the gap is on the back of the collar so my hair covers it and no-one can see it anyway. Still though....)

Alrighty, so I've been looking around the internets looking at other peoples' cosplays of Hotaru (SDK) to see what they did etc. Hotaru does this thing with the back of his kimono/yukaka where he pulls it up at the back and tucks it under his obi as seen in this picture (far right). Okay, that's all well and good - so then why is it that in all of the cosplays I see of him, virtually nobody does this?!

ETA: Also, buggar you, Hotaru, for having such damn hard hair that I can't quite name what style it is. ~~I was considering a Scruffy but I don't think it comes in his hair colour (whatever that is too. Like, a dark blond?). Wisp has his possible-colours but I'd need to cut it a little bit.~~ I found [this] on eBay which is like, virtually perfect style (and free shipping!?) but it's a little too yellow maybe? Still though, I may well buy it (//impulse wig buyer). Thoughts? Is there any way to make it darker, more orange maybe?

I have a month until Uni year starts. I should get cracking. D:

By Static. 26/01/10, 12:18 pm

Half of a new commission is complete, and I'm nearly at a point where I'm stuck until I do a materials run. I have such a love/hate relationship with materials runs...

By kelseyketchum. 26/01/10, 12:28 pm

I made a robot for my Near cosplay out of jenga blocks and bits and bots.

Spoiler:

Progess, yay? xD

By **Rowan**. 26/01/10, 12:28 pm

@Li-Bai: There's characters in Amatsuki that do that with their kimonos, although with longer ones haha. Maybe people just forget to to so, think it isn't important, or don't realise what it is/that the character does it? It would look good if you did it.

I love researching as you all know, but I hate it as well, just changed one of my Dragon*Con Costumes from This to This
