21st August 2013: Wig has arrived And it's gorgeous! Will hopefully style it soon.
27th July 2013: Necklace failed :( Sadly once I spray-painted the necklace the detail disappeared into a big blobby mess and I couldn't fix it so I've made another plain necklace (which is so much easier to put on) and hopefully that will dry pretty. I've also ordered a wig from cosplaydna on ebay which is apparently good. I went for a more sandy beige blonde than golden yellow blonde because I've ordered a yellow-blonde wig before and it was just too yellow and unnatural and didn't need to be that bright. Also in the actual film especially in "Once Upon a Dream" you can tell her hair is more sandy than gold. I don't know how easy it's going to be to style but I've looked at some "fluffy bangs" tutorials and I think I know roughly what I want to do. I'll go at it with normal hairspray and hair clay until I have a rough shape worked out and then go in with got 2 b glued.
27th July 2013: Sigh. So work on necklace mark IV has begun.
Mark 1: Cardboard that turned out too creased to look good.
Mark 2: Sculpey - details didn't show up well and made it look mucky.
Mark 3: Sculpey rolled too thin, promptly fell apart.
Mark 4: Spotted some craft foam in Asda and now Mark 4, made from a sheet of foam with taped-on magnetic attachments, should be sealed tomorrow, hopefully.
Quickly losing patience with what should be an easy accessory!
27th July 2013: Necklace scuplted Will be baked and painted tomorrow - added some twirly bits because it's a bit too plain for my liking.

YES the best colour of aurora's dress!
You're going to look absolutely stunning!
quixoticschlemiel - 22nd July 2013 It just HAS to be the blue one, it's such a nice colour (blondes look good in blue imo) aaa thank you very much!
a-papergirl - 22nd July 2013 The pink one is so dull in comparison! You suit blue as well so this cosplay will be adorable! When are you planning it for? :)
quixoticschlemiel - 22nd July 2013 That tone of pink can be really unflattering too :( Ah, thank you! I don't know, I haven't really thought about it? If I can get a hotel for Expo probably then, depends on how much it weighs & how comfy it is. I'm really excited! Tbh Aurora is my least favourite Disney princess, but eep, being a Disney princess for a day is going to be SO much fun!
HotshotShan - 27th July 2013 the dress looks lovely, you're gonna rock this cosplay!!
Eatmethoubean - 28th July 2013 this is awesome!
puzzledpenguin - 2nd August 2013 Looks great and it really suits you. I've always prefered the blue dress to the pink. I hope I get to see you if you take it to expo, I'm (sortof) planning Merida for it - I like to see another princess. :)
quixoticschlemiel - 2nd August 2013
@Xephios; oh man thank you sweetheart!
@Eatmethoubean; thank you very much!
@puzzledpenguin; Thank you so much! I'm glad so many people like the blue too :) I'm hopefully wearing it on the Sunday of Expo if I can get the petticoats and skirt in a bag with my Peej! Would that be your Disney Dresspheres Merida? You're going to look so amazing - I wish I could go to Aya, it'd be amazing to see the group. I hope it's going to be as fun being a princess as I imagine it is :)
a-papergirl - 2nd August 2013 The pink is so typical as well, I really like that you've gone for blue it's so pretty. I hope you manage to get a hotel for expo. I'm having the crisis of money and every hotel being so expensive. We have a disney group for the saturday in October just incase you do decide to do it and want to hang about with us <3
quixoticschlemiel - 2nd August 2013 I really wish they used it in the parks ;-; I have managed to get a hotel, yay! The London Docklands Travelodge with three other girls, it was pretty reasonable. I'm having a bit of a crisis with rent money but my stepmum offered to pay for the hotel for me bless her heart ;-; I would love to join the group but I've had Power Girl planned for Saturday for so long - I want to see what day the DC meet is on and arrange Aurora around that but I'll definitely come say hi and get some photos! :D
a-papergirl - 4th August 2013 I do too! The dress would look amazing in the parks. I'm glad you got a hotel! I'm hoping sami will sort something out, if not a friend has offered to put us up so it's all good. Your step mum is a saint! Ahh no worries! I love what I've seen of Power Girl you look so cute with the short wig! I'll look out for you as well <3
springinstep - 28th August 2013 So I saw in the forums you'll probably be wearing this on Sunday. If you do then we may have to meet up because I'm doing Maleficent.
Siouxsie James - 29th August 2013 Nice work! :D
