Nearly there... (Posted 11th April 2010)

I finally got some fabric for her Shirt on Saturday =) I ended up getting some white polycotton..I originally wanted something that wasn't see-through but since we didn't have time to go all the way to the fabricland in Basingstoke I had to settle for my small local fabric shop, so didn't have much choice -_- But i'm hoping it will still look good =) Also got some red ribbon for the bow she wears.

On friday I also managed to find a white polystrine ball along with some Orange paint. Its had about 4 or 5 coats haha so just need to add Lero's face with a black marker then attach to the umbrella (I may also cut out some craft foam for the 'frilly bit' round Lero's head)

Today I started on the shirt itself, using the same shirt pattern I used for Da Qiao but altering it slighty. The pattern also comes with ruffles which is lucky as I need to make ruffles down the front =) The main body and sleeves are all sewn together now (I offically love my new sewing machine <3) I now just need to make the ruffles, ruffle and attach the collar, hem/trim the bottom and cut the edges up which i'll be doing tomorrow =)

The wig will be styled HOPEFULLY on the night before minamicon with Gracey and Sweet LOL fun times ahead ;)

Stockings and Umbrella =) (Posted 3rd April 2010)

Just bought some thigh-high stripy black and purple stockings off ebay =) The stripes are also wide ones so am hoping they will look good ^^ I opted for Stockings rather than socks as I wanted them to be thigh-high and also stay up haha

Iv'e also just bought a Pink umbrella also off ebay ^^ My friend Sian bought the same one for her Road cosplay so I know what it looks like. Its slightly darker in colour than in the anime but I don't think it will matter that much ^^' I'll also be getting a polystyrine ball from somewhere, paint it orange and add the face with a black marker pen for Lero ^^

Shall upload some pictures when they arrive~
