I might also use it in a makeover Tsukimi costume.

Ill be your Kuranosuke. Plz.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #551 on:** January 04, 2011, 06:50:07 pm »

Okay, let's do it.

Fachion-pari · « **Reply #552 on:** January 04, 2011, 07:18:26 pm »

Both those Stocking wigs look nice, but I agree the second just seems more accurate and thicker. (And how do you order from taobao? I wouldn't mind getting my hands on that wig myself, it's so nice!)

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #553 on:** January 04, 2011, 07:35:24 pm »

Oh hey Merina you can join the group order if you want. We have to use a shopping service so the more people who buy things, the cheaper it'll be.

Fachion-pari · « **Reply #554 on:** January 04, 2011, 07:53:00 pm »

;A; Really? I'd love to join. Thank you!
(My only concern is how will I pay you plus I live in Washington...)

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #555 on:** January 04, 2011, 07:59:45 pm »

Do you have a Paypal? If absolutely nothing will work then we can probably do a money and wig transfer at Sakuracon, but I think the money would be wanted earlier than that.

Fachion-pari · « **Reply #556 on:** January 04, 2011, 08:14:22 pm »

I have a paypal. :] I also might be making it down to the Portland area a few times over the next few months before Sakuracon, so I might be able to pick up the wig so you don't have to hold onto it for months on end, haha.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #557 on:** January 04, 2011, 08:22:53 pm »

You could pay over Paypal and then I can deliver the wig to you next time you're in Portland

Also when you're in Portland we need to bro out.

Does this look like a good Panty wig? :O

If it's the store that I'm getting my Stocking wig from, then yes. I've heard it's amazing.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #561 on:** January 04, 2011, 09:19:57 pm »

Do you guys know if the wigs from that shop are heat resitant?

nyahaha · « **Reply #562 on:** January 04, 2011, 09:23:26 pm »

I'm pretty sure they are. I think I saw it saying that some where...(I used google translator orz)

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #563 on:** January 04, 2011, 09:25:14 pm »

I used Google translator too, it says they can take up to 180-200 C of heat, I think.

nyahaha · « **Reply #564 on:** January 04, 2011, 09:26:17 pm »

yeah here's what it says exactly...ish

"100% imported silk high temperature, can withstand 180 to 200 degrees Celsius, can blow hot ~ can not be stained"

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #565 on:** January 04, 2011, 09:35:31 pm »

Awesome~
Opinion for you all then @A@

I'm looking for a heat resistant wig that is first as close as possible to the color of my cyperous wig as I can possibly get (Number 144, if you click on it a bigger picture shows up) and secondly a decently thick one (Basically, as long as it's not cosworx thin, I'm good.

Which out of these two do you think is the best choice
Choice 1. It's shorter so it might be thicker, and on my computer it looks a little bit closer.
Choice 2. Longer, so it might be thinner, but I really like the color mixture on this wig.

Yes, we should! I'll hopefully be down in February or March to visit during a three day weekend/spring break. I'll keep you updated, plus, Laurie, (my Kida) is tagging along, too.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #567 on:** January 04, 2011, 09:37:52 pm »

Nikki- the second one looks way too light to me.

Merina- fffffff I had better be in town when you come visit D8 The four of us will go be DRRRRRs and run around in Portland.

Fachion-pari · « **Reply #568 on:** January 04, 2011, 10:00:01 pm »

Haha, that'd be fun! Where my drrrs be?

nyahaha · « **Reply #569 on:** January 04, 2011, 10:36:01 pm »

Nikki- I agree that the second one is alot lighter than the target color

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #570 on:** January 05, 2011, 12:53:13 am »

I'll go with the first then.

As for progress, I cut off the edges of my Ramona Flowers hammer and paper mached them. Gonna do another layer tomorrow, and probably get some bondo to start going over it. I'll probably also sand my skate board for Lucas Lee.

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #571 on:** January 05, 2011, 11:47:43 am »

woo i finaly get to start on serenity's (yugioh) summer dress .... but seeing how you almost never see the front of the darn thing... i get creative liberties! muwahahahahaha .... ha..... now to find white wraps to make me blind....

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #572 on:** January 06, 2011, 11:21:58 pm »

Bought my shirt for Genderbend Lucas Lee and sanded my skateboard.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #573 on:** January 08, 2011, 12:40:41 am »

Drying after I did some touch ups. Gonna let it dry for the rest of the night and seal it tomorrow, and put the trucks back on.

Psych · « **Reply #574 on:** January 08, 2011, 11:38:23 am »

I hope no one minds me just appearing in here all the sudden...

Two of my costumes are practically finished because they're just reuses from last year... They need some touch-ups, though. (Fabric shavers are a beautiful invention. They resurrected my damaged felt fabric costume.)

I'm going to need to start and finish my Utsuho costume this school term, though. I managed to work it into one of my classes as a graded project for it. (Get in-class credit for working on a project I would have done anyway? Win.) One arm cannon and concrete(esque) leg brace coming up soon.

nyahaha · « **Reply #575 on:** January 08, 2011, 12:05:47 pm »

Nikki - Those are beautiful 2s. Did you use a stencil?

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #576 on:** January 08, 2011, 12:18:28 pm »

@Nyahaha- Yeah, I covered the board in painters tape and then cut out the 2's with an exacto knife and then painted it :>

Also

Sweatbands for Leigh Lucas. Made the sweatbands so I could save some money. Gonna hem the shirt tonight and then borrowing a wig and getting cigarettes are left.

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #577 on:** January 08, 2011, 07:49:03 pm »

woo go go boogie!

also i finished my dress for serenity (yugioh) but i need to add some fabric to the inside for a slip...

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #578 on:** January 09, 2011, 04:03:16 pm »

SO MUCH PROGRASSU

Yesterday I went to Old Navy and found a perfect shirt for Listen! Mugi. I've been killing myself trying to find one, but this one is awesome and adorable and I can wear it with normal clothes, too.

The petticoat is standing in for my white skirt, and I'll make that soon.
Old Navy also had a perfect jacket, but I didn't have my refs and I wasn't sure so I didn't buy it, so I'll need to go back and buy it soon.

Then today my grandma took me to Fabric Depot and helped me pick out fabric for Princess Bubblegum! We found a perfect slightly shiny pink for the main dress, and an iridescent purple for the belt and collar. I also have a wig picked out from Taobao.

The colors are a bit off in this picture, everything looks way better irl.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #579 on:** January 10, 2011, 07:43:47 pm »

Who knew making tiny braids on a wig would be so hard. DX

So I made a pattern for Kuronosuke's dress. I just need to get my friend's measurements so I can make it for him. I need to also get some fake pearls for the dress/necklace. All in due time.

Tao's hood is done, I need to fix her shorts, and get more tan fabric to make the jacket. I started on the sleeves. I plan on making the paws pretty large is filled with stuffing so I can use them as pillows. ♥♥♥

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #580 on:** January 10, 2011, 07:51:40 pm »

Well, I've recently started watching Hetalia, thinking that it'd be great to crossplay as a female country. So far, I've only seen Hungary. However, my fiancee and one of our friends seem to favor Liechtenstein.

HNNNG KURANOSUKE/KURONOSUKE/FABULOUS CROSSDRESSER

I just made a practice Princess Bubblegum bodice out of some cheap fabric I had laying around.
Oh god I'm so scared, there are like six darts in it and I'm hardcore modifying the pattern. If I mess up on my nice fabric, I'll seriously cry.

nyahaha · « **Reply #582 on:** January 10, 2011, 08:39:27 pm »

How did you do on the practice one?

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #583 on:** January 10, 2011, 08:43:57 pm »

It turned out pretty well except I messed up on one of the darts, but that's fine.
The only thing is that the fabric is kind of wrinkly and I'm worried it'll be too loose in the waist. The fabric thing might just be that I'm using cheap cotton that's been in a pile for a year, but it's still worrying.

oslapedo · « **Reply #584 on:** January 10, 2011, 08:55:04 pm »

Your Bubblegum progress inspires me, bebeh! I sewed a star for LSP yesterday and will probably work on the dress this weekend.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #585 on:** January 10, 2011, 08:58:00 pm »

I think I might cut out the skirt panels tonight since that's easy.

...OH FFFFFF I just remembered I have to lengthen the skirt pattern ;~; Bawwww

nyahaha · « **Reply #586 on:** January 10, 2011, 08:59:56 pm »

KATIE DO IT. The next time you go to work on it, you'll be glad that you cut out the peices.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #587 on:** January 10, 2011, 09:02:22 pm »

B-b-b-but I have to measure how much longer the skirt needs to be and if I mess up it'll look awful ;~;

nyahaha · « **Reply #588 on:** January 10, 2011, 09:06:30 pm »

measure, then add a few inches just in case.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #589 on:** January 10, 2011, 10:42:22 pm »

@Fleur
I KNOW RIGHT. DAT BOI. ♥ I'm hoping I can get the dress done in time(along with all my other costumes) for Sakuracon.

And I can't wait to see progress for PB. =D

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #590 on:** January 12, 2011, 12:42:18 pm »

I'm bondo-ing my Ramona Flowers hammer right now. I'm going to finish ng that done today and let it sit over night, and then sand it tomorrow and see if I need to add more bondo. If not then it's just a little wood filler here and there, primer, paint and weathering.

oslapedo · « **Reply #591 on:** January 12, 2011, 07:10:21 pm »

Princess Bubblegum? Yeah, WHATEVER.

I finally started up again on working on things.
Today I started work on Shiny Umbreon and I have all the fabric cut for the clothes.
I'm waiting for Griff to get home so I can get his advice on length for the skirt and tightness for the shirt.
I can't decide if I want the shirt really baggy or just a little baggy... :/ I could even make it tight cause the fabric has a bit of stretch to it...
And the skirt...I know I want it shorter but I don't know how much shorter. It's hard to see myself and see what looks good since I don't have my full length mirror anymore.

I think I am going to start working on the ears and tail...
Then I get to decide if I want to sew the ears into a wig, on a headband, or onto the hood of the shirt.
Tail is going to be sewn onto the skirt unless it's too heavy and then I'll turn it into a belt and either add loops to the skirt or attach it to some panties and cut a hole in the skirt for it to go through so it looks like a real tail...

So many choices...

nyahaha · « **Reply #599 on:** January 16, 2011, 05:27:57 pm »

I think that sewing the ears onto a wig looks best. But a hood is good too~

I found a microphone for DWC Miku today~ I'm gonna look for some white and blue roses to put on it soon. Maybe I'll stick some gems onto it too...
