27th July 2011: more progress sleeves done more or less, just gotta sew on the ribbon and attach. did some tester shots with what i have so far tho its mostly just the wig and makeup i did it for. still not sure if i need to make the eye makeup more dramatic. eyebrows i still cant work out how to make blonde effectively yet. also didnt bind in the pics so sorry for boobage
16th July 2011: progresss skirts now attached, tho i realised i still have to add more ribbon to the sides o em but thats no biggie. also cut out the material for the sleeves so can start that soon.
12th July 2011: skirtage finsihd the ribbon off the other day, added on cap sleeves with leftover dress material and pinned the first skirt on. woohoo progress! cap sleeves still need neatened up but can wait for now
9th July 2011: started ribbon sewing started sewing on the ribbon onto the skirts, one done so far, took about 2-3 hours hand sewing. im not doin it in ruffles cos honestly i wud then need twice the amount of ribbon im already using and then it wud cost me about 30quid so intstead im jst gonna go with the crinkled look. picture doesnt really show the grey colour rite its a lot darker and the crinkles will show when the skirt is attached
4th July 2011: finished hemming skirts thats the worst bit for them really, attachin ribbon some time next week tho i have a friend over so wont be doin much sewin i doubt.. will go into hyper extreme sewin mode after that to get this done in time for sept :S
30th June 2011: ribbon n skirts bought the ribbon today for the skirts, so much o it too and quite pricy :O *criessss* anyways that will go on the skirts after iv finished hemming them
12th June 2011: startin... wanted to get goin on this costume even tho my holiday hasnt officially started yet but it was hangin on my door goin PAY ATTENTION TO ME. so far iv cut out the material for ths skirts, may start sewing them 2mos. also found some extra stuff in my material box can use for the upper sleeves to make em more poofy
8th April 2011: the start even tho i dont have material yet i really wanted to start this so i started with the basic customisation of the dress.. just removin various bows n lace already attached and cuttng it shorter... and my god is it short. thank goodness i get to wear shorts under this. corset and long sleeves are next on the list methinks... also... grey (?) lace around the top of dress and puffed out sleeves. also maybe some more pleats for the front skirt so its a bit bigger?
