Otakon Costume Plans
Still need to finish packing for Otakon tomorrow morning. Good thing that we’re not leaving until about 4PM.
I finished Kyoya’s jacket on Saturday and actually managed to finish another costume today. Remember this thing I started around Halloween? It occurred to me that since a library is one of the rooms in the Clue game and there’s a library off the hotel lobby, it might be a good chance for photos. The dress was practically done; I just had to pull it out of the closet and hem it. I had a simple pattern for a bolero so I stitched one up quickly and I managed to cobble the jewelry together from rhinestones and pearls I’d bought a while back plus some other supplies I already had. The jewelry is kind of makeshift but oh, well. ^_^;;; And yeah, it’s a Western costume and really random. >_>; I was going to finish this for NYCC/NYAF but figured I might as well take advantage of the photo op. I doubt anyone will get it since I haven’t had a chance to dress my Scooby plushie as Colonel Mustard.
Other than Kyoya’s frilly purple suit and Daphne’s ridiculously red dress, I’m bringing my Tamaki ballgown. And the dress I made for Sakura Matsuri since it’s simple and comfortable. Might bring my Eugenie costume but not sure. It’s hard to be enthusiastic about wearing costumes in such hot weather with all my real life worries lately.
Kyoya will be for most of Friday since I plan to wear him for the tea party and a shoot with Lionel afterwards. Tamaki will be for earlier on Saturday since it would be impractical for watching the masquerade due to the huge hoops. Daphne, the Sakura Matsuri dress, and Eugenie (if I bring her) will be for evenings and Sunday although I’m not sure what day I’ll end up wearing any of them. Might depend on my mood when it’s time to change.
