Costume Con Photos

Hey Everyone! Pictures are up from our presentation on Michael's page under my costumes folder.

And while our presentation isn't in this youtube playlist, there are some of the presentations from several of the masquerades at the Con here!

Costume Con!

There were a ton of amazing costumes there at the con, some of which were scary enough and worn as hall costumes and not even being competed! So I can't really complain about other people winning the Best in Class and Best Workmanship in Class awards...










































But we did take BEST IN SHOW: DIVERSE OVERKILL in Workmanship for the sheer variety of things we had going on in it! :D We also won the presentation award of BEST CONCEPT in the Master Class division!

AAAAALL Done!

Train pics

Whew! The end is in sight!

A good 10 hours of work today =

The bodice boned...


... and lined and the buttons all sewn on and the buttonholes on the bodice going beautifully in spite of my worries...


And ultimately the bodice finished!


Obviously I'm not going to be wearing it over my tshirt for the presentation >.>

I also got the train bustled up properly but don't have pictures of it yet. Maybe tomorrow. I'm excited to try it all on now.

I did take a few injuries in the line of duty, however. My fingers took one for the team...


And my elbow got stabbed by a very sharp silk pin that didn't like the fact I was using it on polyvelvet as well as the silk lining. 'Heresy!' it cried, and then martyred itself on my arm. Now I'm just getting silly.


Good night!

Last rehearsal....

Still more work to do. Like finishing the bodice and the gun especially!

So I update this thing about as often as I check it...

Congratulations to AnnaMarie on expecting #2!

I've been working hard on my costume with Costume Con coming up quickly next month. Let's hope I get everything done in time!

And a little fun distracting game :) Ready, Go!
