Hello! I have an update, whoo!
I've been workin' pretty hard on my costume.
The top is mostly finished, right now I am just sewing on the long sleeves-but besides that it is DONE! Whoo! I need to iron it though, because I accidentally sewed some of the boning backwards and it is wonky lol...hopefully ironing fixes it, or I will have to re-do that part!
I also took apart the entire skirt last night, and added two panels to it. I thought it was too "stiff" and not "flowy" enough. And, I also found this lacy fabric that was the exact same color as the purple satin I used. So, I bought that and layered it on top of the contrasting layer on the skirt. I'm really happy about this, because now it is more accurate to her dress! Whoo! As you can see in the pictures of her dress, the fabric on the skirt is a bit darker than on her shirt. Now it's not completely the same color...
I get to work on the wig soon too
They all came in the mail yesterday. I had them shipped to my parents house, though, because I have two kittens...and trust me....it's hard enough trying to SEW with kittens around. I don't want to think about the destruction they would cause when they see 4 wigs hanging around LOL. So I will be working on that at my parents house when I visit them...
Anyways this is the back...you can see the lace and buttons and zipper lol.
