18th November 2011: Shoes Ria tried to find 3 pairs of shoes that matched in our sizes that weren't too expensive. We ended up with what we called "granny shoes" lol. Mine were red to start with and we only had one night to modify them so had to make do with 2 coats of pink acrylic paint. I hand made the bows and they were hot glued on but one fell off during the party and ended up being re-attached with double sided tape ^^'

18th November 2011: Stockings The bows were removed and the darker pink ruffles hand-sewn on whilst wearing the stockings. Many thanks to Quinzel for helping me make the ruffles as I was failing at them...

18th November 2011: Dress complete (back view) I hand made the back bow and Freddie (Frederica la Noir) attached the shoulder straps for me by quickly running them through her machine.

17th November 2011: Gloves Sorry the photo's a bit dark. The colour goes quite well with the pale pink of the dress.

17th November 2011: Petticoat Pretty self-explanatory. Ria found these for us to help poof out the skirts.

17th November 2011: Dress nearly complete When we started working on this the darker pink fabric hadn't arrived yet so when it did Ria added the extra skirt layer and ruffles for me as we wouldn't have time to do it all before Fushi.

16th November 2011: Hair test I bought a wig but ended up sending it back for a refund as it was really thin. I didn't have time to get a replacement so I had to use my own hair. My fringe is too long and un-even (as it's a side fringe and not meant to hang down straight) but I hope it doesn't look too bad.

16th November 2011: Make-up test Yukiko's make-up is pretty basic as the CHAM! girls have quite a clean and innocent look about them. I decided to wear some pale pink glitter eyeshadow for a hint of colour and sparkle though. The main reason for the test was to practise her beauty spot which I drew on with pencil eyeliner. I put liquid eyeliner on my upper lids but think it might be a bit heavy looking (plus it's awkward to do!) so prob won't bother with that again.

17th October 2011: Dress progress- bodice and skirt joined I hand-sewed the skirt to the bodice which took me ages as had to try and get the ruffles evenly spaced. I kinda failed at that but it doesn't look too bad. There's going to be a concealed zip at the back but Ria forgot to buy them oops.

The ribbons are just pinned to the dummy to show how they will look.

17th October 2011: Dress progress- skirt Ria cut out the fabric for the skirt, I hemed it on one side then she showed me how to ruche it to make the ruffled appearance that the CHAM girls have.

17th October 2011: Dress progress- bodice Ria (gaming_goddess) cut out the pattern pieces for me and I sewed them together on my machine.
