Costume Update
****************Costume Update*********************
OK. So here is where we are. I have finished tracing out the pattern pieces from the mostly modified pattern (except for the front facing). Now, we will cut if from the very inexpensive cotton I purchased (including lining) and put together a mock-up on Kayla. We will then make modifications to the design. If necessary, we will create a second mock-up or modify the first to make sure our mod's work out. Then, it will be time to use the final pattern to cut the REALLY EXPENSIVE WOOL GABARDINE for Riza's costume. If the Jacket works out, we will then make Kate's jacket, then the Butt Skirt, and trousers for Kayla's costume, then the skirt for Kate's costume. Kate said she would be tilling to make the basting tape for the binding on the edges of the costume. She just needs to press it -- Jen and I will sew it on.
Kayla still needs a lapel pin with the salamander on it, and that other little thing for Riza's collar, and combat boots.
Can I just take a moment here to say: I LOVE MOLLY! God bless this child. She is so easy to please and get along with. Not that Kayla is difficult -- but, Riza's costume is a challenge, and (if done to my expectations) a bit--ok--very pricey. Molly, however, has picked two very simple costumes that will look great and be very easy, both in time and cost, to produce. Wrath: Have the black body suit -- will make simply mods to it, I don't even need a pattern -- and Voila, with some body paint and black hair dye -- she is Wrath.
Klose will also be very easy. She has her hat (needs to be dyed brown, though). All I need now are boy's brown dress pants that can be modified, a greenish boy's vest and a button down, white shirt (with hidden buttons, if possible). Then -- she is Klose!
I honestly don't know how we are going to get everything done on time. Well -- will have to work especially hard.
I guess I should get some rest, now. I want to work-out this afternoon, and work on the costume for at least 5 hours.
Tah-tah.
