21st July 2011: Apron front and back Whoops forgot to add this as an entry ^^;; Finished the apron with the bow ^_~ - apron still not perfect but it'll do :)

21st July 2011: Shoes I completely lucked out when I was in town today and found an almost identical pair with a 'T' bar strap, was in red, in my size and wasn't too expensive - just right I say :) all that was missing was the cross strap - when I got home, I cut four pieces of velvet ribbon and stuck them in the shoe(satin was another option but I wanted to give it a more 'expensive' look courtesey of something I learnt from my fashion idol Gok Wan :D) Ok it maybe a little bit of a naff idea but now I've got a pair of shoes that looks slightly lolitaish :D

14th July 2011: Wig My gorgeous Alice wig arrived! At first I though the shade was a bit dark but it's perfect for her ^_~

13th July 2011: Bottom half apron This apron is by far the most tedious apron in the world! DX I wanted to get it so accurate with all the seams and lines and stuff - anyways, this is the first half of the apron

13th July 2011: Apron sketch After flicking through the first volume of the manga none stop, I drew out a VERY rough idea of the apron and goodness, no wonder I've been procrastinating this BADLY DX

18th January 2011: Dress complete! COMPLETED AT LAST!! HURRAH!! XD

18th January 2011: Sleeve A mock up of one of the sleeves before sewing it to the actual garment

17th January 2011: Trimming GAH!! Stupid stomach started rumbling >.< but that wasn't gonna stop me from at least finishing the hem of the dress! I was determine! Finished it .. but my god, it's safe to say I need something to eat now lol

17th January 2011: Dress pattern 2 Spent the entire afternoon finishing off the pattern - was very therapeutic but when I looked outside it was dark ^^;;; then again I went through 53 circles in total XD

16th January 2011: Dress pattern Spent a little time sketching out the gold circle pattern on the fabric before painting (just like the sleeve)

16th January 2011: Sleeves progress! Dylon gold fabric paint is awesome!! XDHurrah I'm getting somewhere!! ... steady on girl, you have yet to ease and attach a separate white piece on the edge and put the thing on the bodice before celebrating... T^T

16th January 2011: Sleeves Being on a roll to wanna complete this cosplay, I moved on to the sleeves where I simply cut out a circle stencil and lightly drew on the fabric of the outlines cos knowing me, if I used paint directly on the real thing it would end up being a child's art work DX

15th January 2011: Bodice Semi-finishing the collar, I then attached the bodice together using some lovely teal poly cotton I had left over from another cosplay ^o^

15th January 2011: Collar Today I did something which I dread doing for an outfit - the collar ¬¬ ... ok that doesn&#039;t sound hard but god I find them soo annoying! for starters I drew out the collar pattern pieces then used white polycotton and some light weight interfacing for stiffening - not sure what to do about the holes in the collar...

17th December 2010: Wrist band * The wrist band was made with the same poly cotton fabric with interfacing and bordelaise anglais trimming stitched both ends - the thing was attached together with some snap fasteners

17th December 2010: Head band Normally I start with the garment first but seeing as how I'm pressed for time, I decided to make the accessories instead beginning with the head band -
* The head band was made with blue poly cotton painted with gold fabric paint ^^ had to be steady with my hand to paint an almost straight line... ¬¬ Literally is a bow and a rectangular piece of fabric put together

16th December 2010: Alice ref The blue always changes on her dress >.< but I had some left over fabric to match this shade :D
