Well I was only in it for about 2 hours on Saturday morning at D*C for the parade. I'd been up reeeeallly late (like till 5:30am) and then couldn't get to sleep for the hour and a half before I'd have to get up and start doing the makeup to be in time for the parade, so I just stayed up and did the makeup and costume on and went to the parade, and then faded/crashed at 11am and went to sleep all day - which would be why I missed you guys calling that day LOL

Last year was sort of sucessful. I put together a Kim Possible costume and two Harry Potter costumes (pink hoodie Hermione from POA and generic Ravenclaw student).
This year I plan on doing
- Cortana as she appears in Halo 3
- A Battlestar Galactica costume (hopefully Cally)
- And a secret costume inspired by one of the worlds on Doctor Who
-Possibly Amber Von Tussle if the others in the group do do a group Hairspray costume

- Nini Legs in the Air Hindi finale costume from Moulin Rouge (she's second from right)
You know, after the interview my friend did concerning my interpretation of what differ Costuming from Cosplaying here in Singapore and the reason why I'm planning to retire from Cosplaying after just 5+ years on-off into it, I love the fact that we Costumers dun mind doing "background" or "Misc" characters and even encourage each other to do it.
Even those in the background have their story and their costume are also relatively detailed.

I totally agree Darth_Eagle
And Hindi Nini is not even the most obscure one I've done so far - at least Nini has speaking lines in the movie; I also did a costume of one of the other can-can girl's unknown costume from a tiny 3 second moment that no one notices LOL

I haven't been here in forever....
2007 I did a re-do of the parade gown dress. that's about it.
2008 plans:
-toga (done already for a toga party two weeks ago)
-black corset gown from episode two (boning, undercorset fabric bought. Lace found)
-re-do of sleeveless costume (leggings found, boots found, just need fabric)
-cover up for black corset gown for skit in april
that's it for the moment. Possible additions could be:
-Lucy's "Good n' Evil" costume from Jeckyll and Hyde starring David Hasselhoff
-another version of the pastel lake gown
that's about it. I'm slowly working my way back into costuming after a few years of not doing much.

God... Another year, another round of "what's my costume gonna be this year?" lol
I'd be working on a Darth Revan (for 501st membership requirement) or continuing on my Darth Nihilus inspired costume...but I'm in my first year of college and it's sucking up every last dollar I got *sigh* But come summer...I foresee the purchase of some costume gear! Honestly, I hope to finally get at least the Nihilus inspired costume done since I've got the mask started (mine has Darth Maul-ish horns!), I've got a massive hooded black cloak which needs to be adjusted and lined...after getting it somehow back to the US since it's in my Dutch friend's current possession; finish putting my corset and such together...start working on the gauntlets and...and...
*sigh*
School first, play later
*pout*
Drat! Need...lightsaber parts... *starts shopping list*
Oh...and find out when SW Celebration is gonna be in LA... *adds to list*

Today I got a green coverall, so now I've officially started on making an A-wing pilot costume. I also like the fact that when I've finished adjusting the coverall I can use it as a Jaina Solo From the Dark Nest trilogy.

for me I'm finally working on my jedi costume. I found boots, but they came in black so I may just save them for an imperial fighter costume for later this year.

add the green atonement dress to my to-do list. have patterns bought, thinking of fabric choices, and I start work this weekend, hopefully. It's due date isn't till May, but I'd like it for April... lots and lots of alterations to get the fit right, I see in my future.

I've got a relatively SHORT list of what I want to do this year. Besides sewing half a dosen generic Jedi and Youngling outfits for a FanFilm, I'd like to at least start:
-Episode III Geonosis Padme' (before she was scratched; people would cry if I showed tummy, LOL)
-Endor Leia (the speeder bike outfit)
-updating my Sarissa Jeng costume; new surcoat, boots, and pouches
-some sort of Jaina Solo outfit; probably the black jumpsuit or the generic flightsuit.
I have no idea how to go about the first one. Local fabric stores are REALLY limited.

Last year, I mostly completed my Jedi costume.
This year, I'm going to finish it. All I really need to do is work on the belt, but it means everything about the belt. I may need to redo my obi as well, since it's slightly loose, but that would just involve moving the hook-and-eyes farther back. Or I might make a new one and add interfacing so it's sturdier.
I may also make an ankle-length cloak, just to wear around. Problem is, I don't have a sewing machine or even really know how to sew. (Though I suppose I could do it by hand. *shudders*)

Hey guys! I'm new to this forum... just thought I'd say hello to everyone first. I've been to these forums several times, although haven't really posted much before. I love seeing all of your posts about your costumes and such... and seeing the photos... it's all very inspiring. You all do such a great job!
I am a decent 'seamstress' - and last year for C4 I made the ROTS Padme Green Cut Velvet costume. It was fun, although not exactly like the movie version.
This year, I am planning on remaking the dress, as close to screen-accuracy as I can get. I'm even going as far as to have the sleeve lining fabric specially made.
Is anyone else planning on making this dress? If so - and you're having a hard time finding the sleeve lining... drop me an email or message and I'll be happy to share the info with you.
As for my husband, he has started the process of joining the 501st, and is getting his first set of trooper armor this year.
Right now, that's all we have planned.
~Jenn~
