30 - photo proccessing!

sooo I can't find the photograher's business card and I can't find photos of me online (yet), but I did get some photos on my own camera from friends.

29 - ;~;

so I can't find the photographer's business card TT___TT
I'm hoping that it'll turn up if I look around my room. aaand I can't find any pictures of Conchita online despite clearly remembering posing for a ton of them? Where did they all go =3=!

step 26 - CON

PEOPLE LIKED MY COSTUME...!! which was admittedly kind of both surprising and not, since I am still sorta meh about parts of it, butttt I am damn proud of what I managed. SERIOUSLY THOUGH? getting out of Conchita's costume is so nice :X It was not really a comfortable costume, considering how little time I had to put it together by the end. SO MANY SAFETY PINS hahaha...ha...

I got asked to do an impromptu photoshoot by a photographer, so I'll have get a lot of photos later \o/ For now though, a sneak peak~?

step 25 - :D

I just sewed myself into my costume \o/
ONE DOES WHAT ONE MUST.

step 24 - CRUNCH TIME

AAAAAAAAH

okay. hand-basted the trim onto both the collar and the top of the corset. got the snaps and the gem onto the collar. glued the sleeves trim on, as well as the red onto the back corset. glued the flower onto the bobby pin. Whatever I don't finish tonight I have to do in the morning tomorrow and considering how much time it took me to get ready this morning, I would have to get up obscenely early.

FIGHTING ON man go go go >_<9"

step 23 - leaving tomorrow--today?

my friend is a bloody SAINT for staying with me in the shop until 2am. Am a good 90% done. Everything left is glueable and/or hand-sewable. I am still irritated that my skirt's trim isn't anywhere near as visible as I hoped it would be through the organza though 8'( Buuuut at this point, I can't do anything about it anyway :|b I also fiddled with the sleeves pattern more because it wasn't doing what I wanted it to do. the new fabric is lovely though. I ammmm not so sure about how the drape is going to work, but I did attach the front of it to the dress. it is going to be so damn heavy.

Packing can...happen in the morning OTL

step 22 - fml

Taking a breakish. Going on a ~trip~ to get fabric :|b since the sleeves didn't go the way I wanted them to, I'm getting new fabric for the sleeves. I'm going to get a crepe-back satin, I think. The taffeta is too stiff for the sleeves to drape nicely and doing two layers of the sheer would require too much finishing for it to be practical at all. I figure that as long as the color is close and I use the new fabric for the drape-thing too it'll pull together well enough.

At this point, it is a DO EVERYTHING YOU NEED A MACHINE FOR thing. And everything else will either be hand-tacked or glued :T
