Well, It's not quite finished just yet. But these are the progress thus far XD
If you follow me on twitter or have me on Facebook, you probably know that Right now I'm working on Sheryl's Lion OP Dress Which I will be wearing it at Otakon.
I started with the pettiecoats first. I want the skirt to come out extra flouncy XD So I double layered the tulle net. And finished the hem of it with cotton ruffles which I made them all by myself OTL. I should just but them but because I'm a phsycotic ass I end up sew and gathered the cotton fabric all by myself LOL
Next is the actual skirt. Like I said that I want it to look extra flouncy and Shinny so i used 2 layers of the fabric. Oraganza on top of Taffeta both in Light Purple with touch of pink-ish. I failed and use Flare Skirt pattern the first time. But when it all done, I don't like how the shape of the skirt looked while wore with pettiecoats. It looked like a bell shape skirt. Which wasn't what I've aim for ;w; So...I remake the whole skirt again with circle skirt pattern, double the panels, so I will be able to gather the top edge of the skirt, created more volumes. This time it actually worked! But the journey of seam finishing was such a pain in the neck, Organza fabric OTL I end up changed the stitch to double zigzag and finish all the seams ;w; I'm so proud of myself LOL
Then, the Corset Top, I just used regular corset pattern then modified it to fit Sheryl's. I used Suede fabric in darker shade of purple. The red part in the front I used red lace fabric on top of the regular red fabric, so it will be more 'feminine' XD The purple laces in the front was dyed with RIT dye. and sew in after I was done with everything. After drilled the eyelets and add the white laces to it.
I still have to add red trims on it, but i'll doing that for tomorrow XD
This is what I've got so far.
I'm happy with the result so far....I should have start it long time ago XD....darn...
