C.C (Black Dress ) - Code Geass
In Progress
| I love Code Geass and really would love to do a costume from it at some point. I had Schneizel on my planned list for ages but his hair style has me a bit worried. I'm not great at styling wigs and I don't suit many short styles (curses of a string jaw line) so I decided to opt for an easier hair style to wig for. As I already have yellow/gold contacts for Nuada I thought I could use them for C.C. I love design of this dress plus it gives me a change by making a big dress for a change instead of a bucket load of armour XD. It can also double as an evening dress to any Gothic/vampire ball I might do (done a couple in the past). I have decided to go for my own interpretation of the design. As I do plan of having the costume as an option for other events (like Gothic events) I have decided to add more detail to it. It will be unusual for me as I do try and be as accurate as possible. For this I wanted to try something different. |

Wig gets and skirt completed.
Managed to get a wig perfect for C.C through a friend who was having a sale. Just needs some minor styling and then its ready for a test shoot. Skirt is now pretty much complete. The only thing left is the hem which I'm holding off doing until I get the hoop skirt.
Corset Mock Up
I decide to go for a full steel boned Dore Corset for this. Found a method on-line that interested me. It isn't the method that comes with most corset patterns but it does allow better stability between the inner and outer halves of the corset. It also strengthens the boning channels. Hopefully it will work.
Skirt progress
Have finished sewing all the panels together for the skirt. I did go with a textured center panel in the front but decided it didn't work for what I wanted so I'm taking it out and putting in a panel of the same material as the rest of the skirt. Once that is done then its onto the waistband. I'll be doing a 2 part one. Part elastic, part fitted so that if I do have any weight gain/loss that it will still fit me.
The choker
My brother found some fabric in his stock that he thought would work well for this so he has offered to me. Keen to make a start on this I've been putting together the choker. I'll be making one of my cameos like I did for Madam Red and then adding it to a piece of velvet that will be made stronger. I have seen a wig a like for it which I hope to order very soon.
A very nice choice, I think it's really your style and will suit you perfectly :)

Thank you everyone :) Amy-Lou, I'll try my best to describe it. Its tricky to describe without showing but I hope it does make the boning channels a bit easier.

Not sure if I could get her done for May. My budget is pretty tight so I'm making this slowly when I can. Would love to see your Cornelia.
