Thank you happy

Yub yub, it's from a Manga and now Anime (first 2 Episodes officially released 2 days ago as OVA). Heehee....don't worry about not knowing as unfortunately, Saint Seiya The Lost Canvas isn't yet a well-known Manga (and now Anime) in many countries tho' it doing well in Japan, probably Hong Kong/China/Taiwan apart from Spain, Brazil and Italy. I LOVE love it cause I had been loving the original series on and off since 1990.

Frankly, it seems to be still "undercosplayed" compared to all those multiples characters from Naruto, Bleach, Vampire Knight etc. tired

I'm working on a 1860's ensemble at the moment, need to finish and wear it in two weeks. I've now at least come so far that I have wearable underwear.

My current project is this Jaina Solo outfit:

...and getting in shape for it. Thus the temptation of "come to the dark side, we have cookies" has taken a whole new meaning to me.

I'm paring down my list this year as I'm so near graduation that I can taste it. I'm also in a similar situation as LastChael. I have a ton of fabric and materials for costumes that I've been accumulating over the last few years and have yet to really start on them. I even bought a serger for one of them and it's still not done!

The list as it stands now:
Trunk projects of which I think there are 3, but I can't remember what they are at the moment.
-I think it's the Arena Costume, untorn and more about the hairpiece than the costume. I know, I'm weird.
-Loyalist gown since I bought the silk burnout velvet just before Silk Connection stopped carrying it. That feels like ages ago! And I want to do it while I still have access to the huge dye vat on campus.
-Trillian jumpsuit. I had one but the terry cloth started to unravel, so I bought a terry cloth with some stretch this time, but it also means I have to re-embroider the Heart of Gold arm patch.



I've edited out the wedding related garments as I found THE dress and two Maids' dresses at a salon that was going out of business. I love designer labels at more than half off.
So in leiu of the wedding dress, I've added 2 more projects for Dragon Con.
-Alterations to Deanna Troi dress
-Burgundy Troi jumpsuit

I've been working nonstop on this one for a while...this isn't the best or most current pic, as I now have sequins over halfway down.

The hair decor was fun to make, and again, I've added to the piece to make it more screen accurate, but you get the idea...

I'm going to be cutting it close, but I'm determined to have it done for D*C...I've added to the struggle by doing more hand beading to the trim to make it (sigh) more screen accurate!!! Aaaarrrggg! hypnotized

S_S edit: fixed pic code happy

I haven't posted here in a looooooooooooong time, but with Celebration V confirmed (I believe) for 2010, I'm definitely back in a Padmé costuming mood! First I have two Renaissance Faire costumes to make for my sister and me, but as soon as those are done I plan to -

1. Redo the headband for my Family Gown:


And some minor adjustments to the skirt and sleeves of that costume, as well

2. Remake the corset for my Corset Gown:


As well as the headband which broke

3. Remake my Light Blue Gown completely:


Probably sell the old one tongue

4. Make the Lake Gown


Obviously I won't get this all done in 2009, but I do hope to get it finished before next summer!

I barely finished this in time for Comic Con, and already want to go back and redo half of it. Mostly, I just need to completely remake the bodice & collar, then get a new full wig (we found out this was only a 3/4 wig and had to paint my hair black) and get it styled.

I really like this one, a costume like this made in a rush deserves extra appreciation.

The crenoline poof skirt underneath was store bought - What seriously took the longest was drafting that top (which is being totally covered by that horrid collar.
