Dyed fabric (Posted 14th May 2013) So the screen used fabric changes a LOT in different light. Top shows it as a pale almost green tint (this is the closest IRL), second shows a close up (a lot more blue depending on lighting!) and thirdly is what it is now after I dyed it. |
|
Corset/shoulder pieces complete (Posted 7th May 2013) Two set's of strong magnets for the corset pieces were too powerful and wouldn't set after being glued, so I used a weaker magnetic strip on one side and attached four of the strong magnets on the other which were fixed to strips of clear plastic - which provided a larger surface area to glue it in place. |
|
Corset progress (Posted 27th April 2013) This is how the corset piece will sit, no matter what type of glue I used the magnets were too strong and kept snapping off stuck together. So my last resort will be to use gold cord but this will require help to tie it, which I'd rather not need all the time. |
|
Corset progress (Posted 9th March 2013) Heat formed the two separate pieces for the waist and decided it was no good gluing them together at the front as the whole piece needed to open like a hinge to wrap tightly around. So I've used invisible string to keep the pieces flush together at the front whilst still being flexible. The pieces overlap at the back so I'm planning to attach small strong magnets to keep the end's level where they cross over. |
|
Shoulder pieces (Posted 7th March 2013) Finally got around to heat forming the acrylic shoulder pieces, pretty easy and fun to do. Need to remove the backing paper on the one piece but for now it helps me identify which is right/left. |
|
Corset/shoulder pieces (Posted 14th February 2013) I had these pieces laser cut out of 1/8" acrylic following the designs I drafted, I'm very happy with them. I made a paper template first to get the size, shape and angle of the waist piece and using multiple references - not just from Dany's costume in the show. |
