By **JVCA**. 28/02/10, 02:30 pm

Patterning of the neckline is almost finished~ May tweak it some more, what do you guys reckon?

Spoiler:

By the way, if anyone's still looking for patterns there's a bucketload of free patterns here: http://m-sewing.com/

EDIT: Just realised I still need to pattern in the zig zaggy/petally things around the neck too.

By Pura. 28/02/10, 02:51 pm

@Syill YARR. ALREADY PLANNED WITH RANI 8D. HER HOUSE IF MUM WILL DRIVE ME THERE. 8D.

YAY. PROGRESS~

I've sewn my skirt together properly now 8D. It's so cool 8D. And poofy 8D. Still need to get fur for it, and then I can finish it properly.

Fabric for my... I DON'T WANT TO SAY UNDERPANTS. =-=; The full pants that are like, grey. The fabric is lighter than that photo makes it look.

That's stuff for the split in the shirt and also the leg armour harness... not sure if I have enough. >_> But yeah, it'll need to be interfaced.

By sakuramiyabi. 28/02/10, 10:54 pm

The second fabric looks like the taffeta I bought for Tammy's Lu Xun XD

Nice and prrtty 83

By **JVCA**. 01/03/10, 10:31 am

I think the almost-perfect ones are pretty much definitely too small for me even if she does relist them, so I just went and bought these ones. Very Happy

Can't wait to see how you do your shoes, Jess!

My shoes are part way there (excuse the crappy lighting):

Spoiler:

The vinyl soles aren't glued on yet; I'll do that once the straps are finished. Kind of considering cutting the front strap out of vinyl rather than the bias binding, but I'll see how it goes.

By Static. 01/03/10, 12:18 pm

OH MY GOD those look amazing!

By **seraphik**. 01/03/10, 12:23 pm

those look so awesome, rowan! *A* YOU'LL BE SO TALL. ... sylvie'll be really tall too. EVERYONE. WILL BE TALL. D8

By **JVCA**. 01/03/10, 12:24 pm

My shoes are only 2" high - I won't be that tall. <_<

I concur with everyone else though Rowan - those are looking great so far! Very Happy

By Static. 01/03/10, 12:26 pm

...actually, height is a good point. I'm looking at getting 5" heels, which means I will freakin' TOWER over everyone! This will be awkwarrrrrrd. Also, Cosworx is crapping itself and won't let me sign in D: D: D:

By **seraphik**. 01/03/10, 12:29 pm

@jess; you're still taller than me. ;~; /gets 2m heels

@sylvie; IT'S NOT A BAD THING. ;A; i think claire looks better done by someone tall anyway, so it won't be so awkward? actually, i think we're all doing characters good for our heights.

By Static. 01/03/10, 12:45 pm

Okay. Shoes bought: they may not be 5" actually.

Spoiler:

Will need embellishing, but if I get in a jam with time I'll put flowers on them and call it a day.

'snot really very hard to be taller than you is it though? /jab

..I'm sorry. I couldn't restrain myself.

By **seraphik**. 01/03/10, 03:00 pm

there are some advantages, like being the perfect height to deliver a swift kick to the nads.

By creature124. 01/03/10, 03:02 pm

There are also some disadvantages - I estimate you are the perfect height to lean on - and I do so love to lean on things. And people.

By sakuramiyabi. 01/03/10, 03:33 pm

and in my case a quick sucker punch to the the stomach 83

By **JVCA**. 01/03/10, 04:11 pm

Anyone who touches my head gets stabbed with a ballpoint pen. I draw blood. I'm lethal with those things. *particularly dislikes having her head/hair touched*

Progress pics from this arvo:

Spoiler:

Since then I've done all the math for the shape of the skirt of the dress - whether it is correct or not remains to be seen. I have one more panel to retrace + add skirt to, then I'll assemble it and see how it looks... By some degree of sheer good luck, my little mock-up for the framework was actually a 1:9 scale model of me, so that made the math a lot easier, lol.

By sakuramiyabi. 01/03/10, 11:16 pm

Paper mock up is looking good

EDIT: Thinking of getting these shoes for Rue

http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.asp?id=273795273

Opinions? Or I saw some quite nice wedge hells in The Warehouse on clearance. But these would be easy to attach boot covers to I think?
