Well, I'm about 75% done with fixing my Cornelia costume. After seeing the photos of me from KCon '08, I noticed that it was actually too big in the shoulders and the waist, so I grabbed my seam-ripper and scissors and resized the jacket. Oy vey, I think resizing a costume (I left the zipper in and the lining partially attached during this resizing adventure) is a far more difficult project than making a costume from scratch. If I had more of the same fabric, I would've simply made a second one of same costume and sold off the other one to some other person. I do have more of the pants fabric, so I am going to remake the pants. The pair that I made for last year were OK for standing/walking but because the fabric didn't stretch as much as I thought it would, they feel a little short when I sit. I also took apart the gloves and boots I made. I'm thinking of simply attaching the white bits from the gloves to the sleeves and going with that - I have discovered that I can't stand wearing gloves and any time I want to touch something I'm always having to remove the gloves anyway, so it would be better to simply skip them altogether. And, no, I'm not doing Cornelia's cloak - the jacket & pants are warm enough - and I don't want to waste time making something that I'll want to remove immediately because I'm too warm.
Oh, do we have a time for gathering? I'm trying to decide when I should put on each costume... can't decide what to wear for Cosplay show yet... Oy
