My first attempt at the bodice for the Nene Thomas costume didn't work, so I headed off to David's Bridal to get a bodice bra to try on that. If it works, I just hope I have someone to dress me when I wear it! The wings are going to be a little hard to do just right, but I should have enough time to experiment with them. If I can't get the costume the way I want it, I'll have to try for an easier fairy to do.
I need to also hunt up some of my Birdgirl stuff. I'm still stumped as to what I should do about her helmet, but I might try paper mache first and see if I can get the right look. I also need to hunt up the proper wing material for that, too. Luckily the other accessories she has are easy to come by. :)
I'd love to do a general HP auror costume, and not a specifically Tonks one, but I'm lost on what an auror would look like. I'd like the HP folk to see me and say, "Ah, love the auror you got going!" without me wearing a big sign that reads AUROR.
A few more days and I'll get non-stop me time to work on losing fat and making costumes. Woot!!
