AUGH. Son of a waffle.

Said friend is in Ireland 'till the fifteenth of August, and doesn't think she can work anything out in that time. I need friends who aren't flakes. Erm... in terms of dresses, Reppy, your best bet is probably a thrift store where they sell vintage gowns. (The Better Bargains on Sandy comes immediately to mind.) They can be surprisingly inexpensive and often as elegant as something Chi would wear. Where'd you get your dress from last year? It was really well-made.

Worked out a pattern for Hobbes. Came to the conclusion that I'd feel like an idiot if I didn't have clothes that didn't match Calvin's - to the Goodwill we go! Also, this gives me a good excuse to get a chest binder, which I've wanted for a few years. *shrug*

Awsome job Richie!!!

CLAP: Why not try elastic or take the seam at the butt with the pants inside out and pin them how ever much in you need and sew that without cutting out the original seams or fabric incase you need to let them out.... That's what I'd think to do.

Well I finished the gloves the other night and finished 90% of the jacket tonight. I just have the trim to put on, hopefully I have enough, and then I gotta find something for the buttons. My only whine about not having enough trim is the gloves alone took almost 4 freaking yards >>

I'm going to go hopefully finish my Magnet Miku dress today!
I have to go to Beaverton for that. o____o
But it's well worth it!
I'll have pictures of the dress soon enough!

I ordered my wig and it should been here around August 12.
Since they are making it buy hand.

You getting it from Charissa-KIDS? I love their wigs, they're so big and pretty.

Gonna finish my scarf today and see about making the cuffs, and if I can get all that done I'll attach the sleeves by tonight and maybe put the zipper in the front of my vestments so they no longer hang funny. And then I'll have nominal progress :3

FateChooseMe · « **Reply #1204 on:** July 14, 2010, 11:40:23 am »

Sadly it's not, but their wigs are boootttyyful!

It's from another little store on Ebay, called IsEight.
Her prices were pretty fair, the free shipping wins, and the
feedback is all positive!

nyahaha · « **Reply #1205 on:** July 14, 2010, 03:47:06 pm »

Finished sharpie-ing Sakutaro's wig, and now it just needs to be washed. but I'm too lazy to wash it today so I'll do that next week xD and I'll get pics then.

I HAVE OBTAINED CONTACTS
WHICH MEANS MY RACHEL COSTUME IS DONE

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #1209 on:** July 14, 2010, 08:01:52 pm »

You are a liar Haley >:

Oh man looking so good Shannon! Dawww the contacts are cute.

FateChooseMe · « **Reply #1210 on:** July 14, 2010, 09:25:47 pm »

My wig came today!
I was impressed, it's been two weeks since I ordered it.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #1211 on:** July 14, 2010, 09:51:14 pm »

Oh I'm planning on getting that wig/a similar one sometime! Where did you get your's?

So today I also fixed up my Athena headband, since the old one was badly glued together with raw edges showing and all that bad stuff.

The gloves are mixed martial arts fighting gloves. They're not 100% accurate, since Athena has bizarre fighting gloves that just look like regular fingerless gloves, but I do like them. I feel more like a fighter.

Also, Haley! I got the wig on by myself!

Some parts were showing in the back, but I think with some more enormous hair clips and a wig cap, we'll be in business~

FateChooseMe · « **Reply #1212 on:** July 14, 2010, 09:52:45 pm »

I love the headband. *___*

And I got the wig on Ebay from "IsEight"
I ordered it like.. last week.
And it's here already.
I was really impressed.

shanime_panda · « **Reply #1213 on:** July 14, 2010, 10:02:24 pm »

Thanks Katie!
And you look SUPER ADORABLE!

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #1214 on:** July 14, 2010, 10:26:15 pm »

@Fate: Oh cool, I know cosplaywig sells a similar one, but it's sold out right now. That's the one I was planning on getting.

@Shannnon: Thank you :D

FateChooseMe · « **Reply #1215 on:** July 14, 2010, 10:30:33 pm »

This one is really nice, and I wasn't wanting to wait for Cosplaywig to get them back in stock.
Haha.

nyahaha · « **Reply #1216 on:** July 14, 2010, 11:40:42 pm »

@katie: thats awsome! did you braid you hair? we need to plan our next cosplay sleepover so i can try getting my wig on your head! and so we can learn Thriller!

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #1217 on:** July 14, 2010, 11:51:05 pm »

I actually just put it in two ponytails, one on the top of my head and the other just above my neck, and then I tucked the showing hair into the wig. Obviously once I get a nice wig cap my hair will stay in nicely, but I actually got this on well! I was surprised. Also lol there were still pins left in the wig from Sakuracon haha.

YESSS. When are you back at your mom's? Oh we could do Lloyd Center and then go and have the sleepover!

nyahaha · « **Reply #1218 on:** July 14, 2010, 11:56:31 pm »

oh reall?, then it will be way easy when you have a wig cap. I need some more too, so we should look for cheap tights next time we are out shopping.

Monday I'm back at mom's and then that weekend I am. I'm not sure if I'm going to have to work at all next week, and I'm not sure when I have drivers ed, cause I lost my schedule xD

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #1219 on:** July 15, 2010, 12:15:53 am »

Yeah, I'm actually surprised

I'm glad I can get it on, it actually looks better than my blonde Arda wig, but I think it's because it's a lot darker, too.

Okaaay , Cross's gun decided to be stubborn x: ..and let the gun handle snap at .. 1am as I measure it in the holster.

GOOD NEWS! i can be fixed .. and also it needed to be adjusted (': ... I'll post pics once I get further on it.

as for the mask ..it needs to be filed down and painted again

veraca · « **Reply #1223 on:** July 16, 2010, 04:24:24 am »

Update for moi~

almost done with the jacket. bought and painted the buttons, debating if i want to take brown to them too... Finished all of it's devil trim though, and got better matching ribbon.
I also got more white fabric for the headband and belt. Started on the belt sewing and trim, and finished the headband other than ironing it and sewing on the elastic band~

After all this all I'll have to do is think up something for the boots and then something for the sword if I do that.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #1224 on:** July 17, 2010, 01:50:14 am »

Finished the hardest part of my Makoto cosplay :B

nyahaha · « **Reply #1225 on:** July 17, 2010, 11:13:54 am »

^ AWSOME PICTURE!!!!

I am going to get paid soo, and then I can buy Death the Girl and Kaito's wig, and go fabric shopping~ Yay~

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1226 on:** July 17, 2010, 11:23:12 am »

Pffffft. Nukka you hang out with crazy people.

I made armor yesterday! I gotta paint it, but it's awesome. Apoxie Sculpt makes me happy, even if it does smell like rotting tatami mats.

kit2kit · « **Reply #1227 on:** July 17, 2010, 02:14:46 pm »

Finished Luke : D
Got the shoes today.

ainekatt · « **Reply #1228 on:** July 17, 2010, 04:14:42 pm »

Having already made the skirt and halter top and earrings for Vanille today, in addition to having completed Vanille wig and Yuna earrings a few weeks ago, I'm currently in the process of patterning the sleeves for Yuna, sewing the skirt (also Yuna), and creating the obi (Yuna again).

Oh, and I'm working on adjusting the collar for my Craig cosplay. It's red right now, but it needs to be black.

Doodle doot doot cosplay time~

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #1229 on:** July 17, 2010, 11:27:39 pm »

Dubaby · « **Reply #1230 on:** July 17, 2010, 11:35:38 pm »

Ordered some pretty sweet looking golden/brown contacts from pinkyparadise after much help from the bro's on the Baccano board. Should be awhile until they come in, but I'll post pics as soon as they do. I'm ready for more accurate lenses than my previous brown ones for Sakuracon. =]

Pattern paper is like... wax paper or something XD

I'm almost done with my costume!! I just have to find the undershirt for it and then I'm good. *excited happy bounce* Just waiting for glue and paint to dry right now before I can put on the last layer of paint and then assemble it.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1240 on:** July 19, 2010, 10:28:06 pm »

Vaclav has passed the 30% completion mark! I really ought to make his capey-bit so it's out of the way and I can have something to attach armor to.

But blargh, bias tape and patterning.

At least my sleeves managed to make it into the garment itself with no major problems beyond some ease!

tas110 · « **Reply #1241 on:** July 20, 2010, 04:56:15 pm »

this may be progress but i found a good behind the scenes photo from pirates 4 but i think i am going to wait for high res photos begore i do anything my cosplay

Shadow · « **Reply #1242 on:** July 20, 2010, 05:17:07 pm »

My new Sweeney shirt should be arriving either this week or next.

Super excited to see it! I also got new pants. I think I'm going to dull down the pinstripes a bit since they're really noticeable. Sharpies don't fail me now!

lychee-twist · « **Reply #1243 on:** July 20, 2010, 06:54:45 pm »

If sharpies are too dark, I suggest Prismacolor markers.

I was actually just thinking about using those instead! (Because they come in gray) Do they keep their color well without washing out/bleeding?

=D Sewed my entire kimono for my Koffing Gijinka! ^^ Just gotta add the symbol at the bottom and sew the under-wrappings!
