Everything is pretty much done since we're taking completed cosplays xD
I have to restyle my sisters Sora wig, fix my Roxas pants, maybe make a new vest for Roxas, and fix my pullstring on my orgy robe. I'm going to attempt to make Larxenes kunai's, but if they don't get finished, I have back up props

Okay tomorrow I'll actually do stuff hahaha. Gonna make the socks and start the blouse (finally ugh).

Got my stuff from We Love Colors! The colors look like they'll be perfect for Miku's skin tone~ The difficulty will be getting the plush fabric I got to match the leggings/tights. Pics:

Finally found a white pair of sweats online to use for my May Lee cosplay... ended up being a lot more trouble than I thought, since everything I was finding was either out of stock, too form-fitting, or weren't just plain white. Found a good normal pair for $20 though, so I'll just need to add the navy trim to those and they'll be perfect. =]

Now I just need to start planning on how to do her belt, gloves, and goggles.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1905 on:** June 26, 2011, 05:55:30 pm »

I need to figure out how to get this thing to stay on my head pretty soon because holding it up and taking pictures at the same time is very difficult.

Also my wig is really heavy.

bunny_jean · « **Reply #1906 on:** June 26, 2011, 05:58:09 pm »

Richie, I think that whole costume is going to end up being very heavy... not just the wig. XD Either way you look like a BAMF.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1907 on:** June 26, 2011, 06:01:23 pm »

Eh, I'll live. Vaclav was heavy on the hangar until I put everything on, this'll be no exception.

I'll have to duck to get through doors though.

Richie, please just wear that thing when you make a run to the grocery store or something like that. Especially if it's a Timber's game.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1916 on:** June 27, 2011, 02:00:27 am »

I pretty much got the shield done and the weapon. I have pictures on my facebook and when I get home I'll post pictures here

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1917 on:** June 27, 2011, 08:40:27 am »

I would, but they don't fit in my car while I'm wearing them :I

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1918 on:** June 27, 2011, 03:31:34 pm »

I am going to start working on the glove for the left hand that the shield will attach and I got some material for the glove that the weapon will attach too but it is too dark so I need to get more =/

I'm going to start working on my Raichu ears and tail tomorrow by bending the wire into the shapes. then i need to go felt shopping

ichigo_m. · « **Reply #1921 on:** June 28, 2011, 12:10:22 am »

Completed C.C's corset today along with cutting most of the skirt. I'll post pics tomorrow.(=

yes; yes, I'm making progress.

Dubaby · « **Reply #1923 on:** June 28, 2011, 04:44:26 pm »

Got my May Lee wig today!!!! Meaning I can start do some more shopping for the blue parts of the outfit since I can base all the other pieces off the color of the wig. I LOVE THE COLOR!!! It is a tad more blue than it shows here (mainly when in direct light) but I think the overall color and arrangement of the blue/black fibers is going to work for me. This is a picture of it right out of the bag, so I'll need to do a bit of spiking on the ends, and on that main bang piece to get more of that "flippy" effect her hair has.

lychee-twist · « **Reply #1924 on:** June 29, 2011, 12:19:35 am »

Dubaby, it's weird because I think your face structure is a pretty good match to May Lee's

I think your cosplay's going to turn out great!

ichigo_m. · « **Reply #1925 on:** June 29, 2011, 08:50:48 am »

It's not near done yet, but here is the progress I've made on C2's dress in the 3 days I've been home. (=

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1926 on:** June 29, 2011, 10:56:10 am »

Thanks! I tried to pick the character I thought I could pull off best and it seemed like May Lee would work well. =]

@Richie: I hope you realize I'm reblogging that like crazy when I get home.... you magical cosplay wizard. =3

Sweet! Apparently Fuego at Pioneer Place has super cheap flower hair clips, usually I see them at Claire's for like $10 which is ridiculous, but Fuego had them for less than $3.

Drauska · « **Reply #1938 on:** July 01, 2011, 08:44:00 am »

Things are coming together nicely:
Wig for female wolfwood is getting oil sheen right now,
cross punisher is all cut out and just need to glue and paint,
wolfwood cosplay is a bit iffy, but working on it
Vash jacket is still hanging in my closet and needs a bit of refitting,
Vash revolver is cut out and just needs some shaping, before I paint it.

ichigo_m. · « **Reply #1939 on:** July 01, 2011, 10:41:08 am »

C2's Dress is practically done, I was sewing the final stitch and my machine when all hey wire and stopped working. TAT

Fuego is my go to place when I need hair accessories for a cosplay.... I ended up getting the black rose thing I needed for Chane's dress from there when I made it because like you said, it's only $3, whereas other places are at least twice as much. =]

ichigo_m. · « **Reply #1941 on:** July 01, 2011, 01:14:12 pm »

I finished sewing up C2's dress.
My friend just has to buy the hoop skirt, wig and shoes for it. (=

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1942 on:** July 01, 2011, 01:47:34 pm »

I have a question. I have the shorts that came with the costume for Rikku and they are accurate but tight, and by tight I mean very very tight. I also bought a pair of green shorts at Fred Meyer a week ago that could work, they fit but they aren't as accurate (I will add the ruffles) so my question is which one should I use?

accurate shorts

Shorts that fit better (will add ruffle)

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #1943 on:** July 01, 2011, 02:42:48 pm »

If you modify the second pair I think they'll be perfect, they're the same green color right?

I think you're best bet is to go with what fits better; if your shorts are too small you'll look bigger then you are, and Nichole you are DEFINITELY not big.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1944 on:** July 01, 2011, 03:02:23 pm »

The second pair are a little darker. I'm hoping that if I lose a little bit of weight then it wont be a problem at all. But as a back up plan it would be nice to know that they would work.

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #1945 on:** July 01, 2011, 04:16:32 pm »

Good idea!

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #1946 on:** July 01, 2011, 06:56:56 pm »

i say go with the 2nd pair. that way you have a good back up incase you cant lose as much as you want

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #1947 on:** July 01, 2011, 07:42:32 pm »

I would have the materials ready for the second but don't make them. Have the accurate ones be your 'incentive pants' for your weight loss. If you have a fall back, you mentally set yourself up to fail because you have that safety net.
So don't make them but have it ready. Aim for the ones you have at full speed and I'm sure you'll get there~<3

Fuyuko · « **Reply #1948 on:** July 01, 2011, 08:02:25 pm »

@Ichigo_m: It looks gorgeous! Great work! ^^

As for me, OMG PROGRESS?! 8D I bought the wig for Sister Iceland; so all I need to worry about are the goggles! Yay! ^u^

luvan1me · « **Reply #1949 on:** July 01, 2011, 09:12:35 pm »

@nikki: i agree with gryffinclaw as well. i always did that, and i ended up NOT losing any weight -.-" like now... and i gained 15lbs... UGH!
