Description
Not quite sure how I'm going to pull off the gravity defying boobs, but I'll give it a shot!

11/06/08 - have almost finished the upper sleeves, just need to add on blue swirly pattern. (bottom half of sleeves inc lattice work being done separately) Body has been started but still rough shape at the moment, sash and sleeves needed shaping first as the whole thing gets stitched together at the same time.

18/06/08 - main body sewn together, (main bit including both half of the skirt bit) and one one the upper sleeves, sewing the other one on in a bit. Then need to start cutting the collar and covering that in fabric (using really heavy weight interfacing to keep it upright) then it's off to the land of detailing!! oh joy.

27/06/08 - OK main body done, all the evil little white triangles have been painstakingly hand sewn on (that was a stupid idea) and the trim has been added today too. All that I have left for the main body is to attach the bottom half of the sleeves, of which I am about 25% there and hem the bottom of the sash. Oh and then I have to make the thigh high boot toppers, the shoes are currently in the post!


have discovered that the collar keeps the front of the tunic closed properly, so all the tit-tape has to do is stop any gaping, and not hold it in place so much!!! however decided to still order 10m of the stuff!!! Just the fan to work out..


29/06/08 Sash hemmed, bottom sleeves now at 50%, so close!!!

09/07/08 - Costume done, just fan and hair ornaments to papier mache and paint!!!!

Wow! That's gonna be an impressive costume! I thought about it but was a bit intimidated by the ahem gaping chest bit. Lol. Good luck!!! ^_^
