ha ha yey, I'm excited. I started working on parts of aigis but didn't finish. was with family. and on monday I'm going shopping at the mall to see if I can find anything there for my cosplays. with massive sales I'll probably find some awesome deals.

btw Janelle do you have orange fabric?

@sage
if you have any extra left over can I have some? or perhaps you have some left over from her other cosplay. what shade is it? lighter then mist's orange or darker?

why does it seem a lot of quinci's cosplays are orange themed. :/

I've actually started working on my semi-secret costume!

I got the shirt done, and now I'm trying to make gloves.  They're a pain and a half. :(

her kcon is pink. :P

There is not enough orange from her first costume to make anything.
And i don't know how much will be left over from  the new one. considering it well be part of the hat as well. and prob the shoes

its darker and a different fabric (stretch cotton)

so went to the mall today trying to possibly find good deals on items I could use for cosplay. nothing, nada, zip. no good stuff. and every person in every store was either a money grubber or totally rude.

I did however find some good volumes of manga with good reference pics and what not of my cosplays coming up. :3 and I found out about some places that have what I need.

I also started working on bits and pisses of jasdero's cosplay because I'm a bit obsessed with him right now.

@sage
oh yeah, true. :/

that new shade of orange sounds actually right for what I need. if there is some left can I have it please?

Oh THORES, queen of deceptively simple.  ONE HOUR to do a cuff, and I have SIX in this outfit.  Grrrrrrr.  One more tonight, though, and then I can fit the front of the habit, sew that, and call tonight productive.  I wish it didn't take me a freaking fifteen minutes to get ready to try things on.  Stupid mass of underpinnings.

I feel like a horrible person. I just spent $121 dollars on my wigs for Cassandra and White Mage, got boots for Cassandra, and ended buying some of that Kryloan body paint or whatever in case I ever cosplay as Hisen-Ko from Darkstalkers.


...I hate spending money.

Who needs sleep?  Oh, right, me ...

Base habit for Kaya is almost done.  I have to whipstitch down the collar on the front flap and sew on the collar to the bib/mantle/whatever, then work out the wimple (which I'll hopefully mock up at work tomorrow over breaks).  Of course, there's not a stitch of trim on any of it, but that's what I'll be doing all of tomorrow night, until I fall over.  Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

For Sakura I already have my Vampire Knight outfit done. For Death the Kid, I know where to get the rings, the wig I need to style, the guns I need to alter, and I already have the boots.
I just need to order this stuff and keep an eye out for a black collarless suit to alter.
Plus, you know, the little skull tie clip thing that I need to make xD

I've just realized that my White Mage gloves are a little darker then the picture. They match my boots though so I shouldn't complain.

Fffffffffffffff though. I'm so excited. All I have left on my White Mage dress is to add the straps, sew in the lining, and hem. I'll be done with all the big clothing things for her today. I'll post pictures later.

Bustier troubles... Again. The lining part of it is fine, but I haven't cut out the straps yet and I'm raging because of it. I need to get them on there LIEKNAO before I can do the top seam and make it all-inclusive so I can add the zipper and take progress shots of me actually IN it. Then I have to put boning AND boning channels on it.

Then I have to make the mask and the petticoat of evil. After that everything is simple, just hand-sewing a good 20+ green roses to the buster and doing the ruched bits of the skirt and cutting out six yards of a design on the bottom of the skirt.

Seriously spent all day today finishing this but I'm glad I'm finally done with the dress.

The flash makes me look evil or something...my legs look really purple too hahahaha.

The rest of this costume should be simple minus the staff, which will just be time consuming.
Random question since I haven't worked with wigs much, but can you braid a wig just like you would normal hair? Or is it too smooth and will it just slip out? EDIT TO QUESTION: AKA Do I have to put product in the wig or I can I just braid it and leave it at that?

Anyways moving on to Cassandras dress which looks HARD. I have to combine a tank top with a skirt and they both have zippers. Oh goody.

You are the cutest mage ever! ^w^ Ya did a really great job on this. =DDD

As for the wig - I've mainly worked with short hair wigs but from what I've read you should be able to braid the wig just fine as long as ya tie it at the end and all that. If the wig has layers you'll run into the problem of hair sticking out of the braid, just like real hair, but if it's all one length then it should stay nicely, especially if braided tightly. I don't think you'll need to use any product. =)

So i've finally decided what I'm doing for cosplays!
1&2) Me and Kaye are Doing Hikaru and Kaoru from Oran Host Club
3) I'll be doing Len from Volcaloid
4) and Luca from Ar Tonelico II
5) I'll be making Kaye a Princess Mononoke costume, from Mononoke-Hime!

Braiding longer wigs is a little bit like braiding normal hair: it's a pain in the bupkis to keep it nice and neat if your hair isn't nice and neat to begin with.  Wig braids will can get flyaways, particularly with snags and static.  I've heard storing wigs with dryer sheets can actually cut down on the static significantly, but haven't tried that yet.
That said, I've always put hairspray on my braids once I have them done to set the style a little bit, and even painted in some dilute hair glue at times.  OTOH, I've been dealing with the massively ridiculous monstrosity that is Unohana's braid, so yours may be more cooperative.

And here's what I spent the last few weeks going bonkers over trying to get wearable.  I got it done for ALA, though I have a crapton of things to work out and fine-tune now.  The intent was to wear it and work out the kinks, though, and that did happen!
