I have...HALF A COSTUME!

*boogies*

SHITE you work quick I MUST go fabric shopping for mine tomorrow. And organise wigs. Um. Will do now.

Looks excellent!! Does it flare out nicely when you twirl?

No hugely flarey, but flarey enough!

I am actually starting to suspect that the best way to manage a clean line at the waist will be to wear a real cincher like your black one over the blouse and skirts, and then build the jade-and-gold one so that it can go over THAT. Because the elasticated waist gives a bit of bulk that will be difficult to smooth out using just satin and interfacing.

QU: how much are people willing to pay for wigs? Good ones obviously aren't cheap -- there's one here (http://cyperous.com/fcw.html) that I'm looking at for Esmeralda but with currency exchange it's around AU$73 before shipping.

TOO BAD YOU CAN'T COME AND BE ALICE SINCE YOU ALREADY HAVE THE COSTUME

I know. XD I think there's already an Alice anyway, though. I'll just cheer you guys on from Japan, you'll all have to post lots of photos.

Three of Anna's UTS friends are photography students, so they're going to do a proper photoshoot on the Friday before the con. MUST TRY TO GET OUT OF CLASSES.

OH EXCELLENT (can I convince them to come with me to the Chinese gardens for mine? XD)

PRETTY! Our sewing parties never actually turned anything out, just a lot of half-done stuff, some food that we got distracted and decided to make in the kitchen, and a couple of movies under our belts. So I am very impressed.

I KNOW. We have 20 people so far, making us the largest Disney cosplay group in the world (we are beating out these guys (http://www.mandyscosplay.com/disney.php) \o/)

SINCE WHEN DID WE HAVE 20 I HAVE HEARD NOTHING OF THIS

Very nice!

Though I must admit, for a second I was worried because whatever is laying on the carpet around you looks like blood.

Oh God Oh God I haven't even started!
I borrowed the movie off bec yesterday,
Shall watch it and get my butt into gear.

I'm going to see if gang show has a wig for me,
My hairs the right colour but no-where near long enough..
(Do you want me to look for one for you?)

Wait, I didn't know you were still doing it! (Pocahontas, right?) We'll need to add you to the email list -- email madamephoenix@gmail.com and tell her that you're in, and she'll be able to fill you in on details.

I'm going to look for wigs elsewhere, I think, though if you find a black-and-curly one that looks suitable then let me know!
