29th October 2013: MCM Comic Con was fantastic! Had a blast at the London Expo - so much love for MKR and Princess Emeraude and so many great photoshoots to look through and choose from!

Thanks to Emma Diamond photography, Paul Jacques, Pouncy, Joshua Potter, Nert, Foxy, Glitch and MCM for taken pictures alone with so many other photographers over Saturday and Sunday.

And lastly thank you to my Zagato - SlimDefinition.

20th October 2013: Finished! Finished the coronet, finalised the armour and dress attachments so all finished!

Did a test run and reinforced some attachments :)

May to a complete test run if there is time before expo...

12th October 2013: Drape emblem Guess work! As I can't find any detailed pictures! Will need a couple more layers!

6th October 2013: Drape progress 5 and full update Ribbon sewn on the drape now! And on the top end I have made some ribbon loops so I can attach this to me with some ringlets. All that's left on the drape is some minor painted detail at the point and its finished.

The coronet is drying - so just need I varnish this and attach a droplet to this and the armour.

The dress itself needs a couple of while loops to put my gold chain through (which I bought today) and I got some gold beaded for under arm loop detail - these need attaching to the armour.

Once that's all done I'm finished and I have an entire weekend next weekend to work on everything!

6th October 2013: Drape progress 4 Gold ribbon pinned!

6th October 2013: Drape progress 3 Now turned outside in - used a pin to pull the points out - now it's ready for gold ribbon!

6th October 2013: Drape progress 2 This end needs to be left open - only sewn up once the ribbon is on - so next we then it outside in...

6th October 2013: Coronet progress Gold paint first layer on coronet done! (Note the gold does match the breast plate it's just the dim lighting that makes it discoloured)

28th September 2013: Coronet progress - paper mâché! Coronet progress! Paper mâché done, next will be grout to smooth it then painting ;)

26th September 2013: Dress progress - 4 weeks to go Dress progress 26/9 - just the sleeves to finish then the attachments :)

26th September 2013: 4 weeks until MCM...... I started paper mache last night but it got late so I went to bed XD

Tonight I'm working on the dress again, the main dress should be finished with just the sleeves to sort out.

4 weeks until I'm in London for MCM Comic Con.... OH GAWD XD

23rd September 2013: Coronet stage 2 Coronet is now ducktaped ready for paperture mâché tomorrow night :)

Although it looks quite evil in black right now xD

23rd September 2013: Coronet started Started the coronet today and done the base so far - hope to add the ducktape tomorrow before paper mache ^^

22nd September 2013: Progress! 22/9 Progress is going well (horray!) the dress is taking longer than expected as to make it flow right I have had to gather the dress at the waist - the dress is just off the floor at the front but slightly grazing the floor at the back for a train effect. I may add some weights in a couple of places at the base as well as adding a more rugged hem underneath so the dress itself doesn't wear away too badly.
The sleeves need more interfacing as a metre isn't enough for both of them >< and I want them poofy! To do the interfacing in the sleeve needs to be sewn down with elastic at the cuff. So it bunches into a princess sleeve.

The armour plate is being made by SlimDefinition and is going well - just a few more tweaks and it will be ready for me to take home at the start of October - then I will add the chain attachments so it sits on top of my chest.

Lastly, I have not started the coronet yet - but I hope to do this very soon ^^

14th September 2013: Got to love fast postage! Iron on interfacing arrived today! I ordered it thursday night! For the shoulder's to make them poofy and bunched up ^^ will de seeing the dress this week so it will be done soon - so I will do the shoulders next week.

I may start the coronet this weekend as it will take time to make from scratch.

13th September 2013: Shoulder poofing Just bought some interfacing to sort out the shoulder poofing! 99p a metre oh yeah :D eBay ftw!
