"What a cute and simple costume"I thought to myself one day. "Certainly this will be easy to make, comfortable to wear, and I can put it on and walk around the con floor with ease!" ….so far this is not the case. Now of course she is cute and I love the character, however I just about gave up today when the brand new skirt I had made was, get this, completely backward. That's right, I somehow managed to put the slit and the pattern on the opposite side from the picture. So needless to say (especially with me being a detail-oriented, OCD, perfectionist) I scrapped it and started over. I haven't gotten the guts to go back to it as of yet but I will return and when I do, this skirt won't know what hit it! mwahaha.
In other news, the corset is beautiful and the belt is coming together just fine. I already own the wings, and I am extremely tempted to somehow make that sword…
Yes, this is the picture before I destroyed the stupid backward skirt.
Basically, the corset I made from cheap pleather I already owned, it did have a shininess to it that would work for a fairy. It is properly boned, as a corset should be. I need to add the gold buckles on the corset and possibly weather it to make it look like it was out at sea.
The belt was made out of pearly 16 mm beads I purchased at Joanne Fabrics, I spray painted them the perfect color. I now need to add the metal separators into the belt, which I will probably end up casting and molding myself.
I obviously haven't made the white ruffled shirt yet, but never fear, I will get to it. I just need to find the right material.
I have a feeling that once all of this comes together, and I finally dawn the costume, the wings, the makeup, the wig, and all I will love it. At this moment however, it is exceedingly frustrating and I really want to take up another project instead, but I will stay strong and make sure this gets done.
Anyway guys I will post again soon! Thanks for reading.
Sparkle on!
