3rd October 2013: Progress Here we have the bodice (pinned together) and the underskirt. Just to give an idea how it will look. The bodice was constructed from a bought pattern I already owned..though there was a lot of modifying. The underskirt was also made following a bought pattern. Also this photo was taken under bad lighting and with flash so...the fabric does look a lot nicer than this!!
The final skirt is pretty much finished now, the bodice just needs to be sewn together and the sleeves added. Will upload a photo when I can!!
21st September 2013: Wig Wig bought from wiwigs on eBay, will be curling it hopefully by doing braids and then using hot water to set them. Hoping the fringe is long enough to just be pinned back...I couldn't justify spending so much on a lace front wig ><
3rd September 2013: Fabric So here is the fabric that I've ordered for the bodice. Its so beautiful, its 100% Silk Brocade so hopefully it will look good!! Only downside is its coming from India but the seller assures me it should arrive within 2 weeks so fingers crossed.
Epic thanks to hollysocks for finding this for me!!
