Progress
White Tigressok its been a while since I made an update on this costume. For starters, it is still in progress and have been slowly adding to it over time :) I THINK I have all the supplies to get this done and she and Princess Tutu are on the top of the work list as I have a lot more free time thanks to current events. I pushed her back from Hibana due to personal reasons, and it was meant to be for MCM Birmingham this weekend. The gloves and bootcovers are patterned and needs restitching with matching thread. The wig is being redone completly as there were issues with the dyes and had made a big mess of it. The bodysuit is a dress with a white panel on the front. The belt and tail have been almost done for a while and I really like how the appique turned out :D
Patterning - Tunic and underskirt
NymeriaI had planned to cut up my chemise pattern for the tunic, but I've ended up working on this while visiting family and have nothing on hand! I'm not entirely sold on the way I've put the tunic together but with spring events already rescheduling for later in the year, it's looking like I'll have plenty of time to figure it out.
