oh fucking hell, HELP ME PLEASE!!!
After a chaotic day at work, I come home, on a happier note, thinking "I can finish the bodice for Ciel today!" and possibly get the whole base of the dress done, and tomorrow start on the lace trim. So I run downstairs after I get home, and start to work on the bodice where I left off last night, and while I"m starting to pin things together, I realize...
I FUCKING SCREWED UP. ... BECAUSE I LISTENED TO MOM'S ADVICE.
She doesn't even fucking know how to sew, why the hell did I listen to her in the first place?! I was going to put a zipper straight down the middle of the front of the bodice so that I could zip and unzip the bodice to put it on, with an invisible zipper. However, because I'm not amazing when it comes to zippers, I thought "well, I might end up having to create a cover to go over the zipper just in case, like everyone else who has made this dress has done. Mom said "oh no, why don't you just put the zipper on the inside seam instead, under the arm?" Not thinking, I thought it was a great idea, because then I wouldn't have to make a single panel cover for the front of the dress. While I'm working on lining up the seams for the zipper, every other seam on the bodice has been completed, stitched the hell out of it so much to make it look beautiful, and then I remember... The place I was wanting to put the zipper was at the seam where the bustle starts. Apparently I was thinking that bustle was at the seam straight under the arm.
No. Oh no, no, no, no, no. That would make life MUCH too simple now, wouldn't it?
The red indicates the area I was about to sew the zipper. The green indicates the seam that the bustle starts.
If ANYONE can think of how to fix it with the piece that I have already, I would LOVE to hear your suggestions ASAP!!!!!! I really wanted to get this done for the Kuroshitsuji photoshoot at Wasabi on Sunday, but at this point, if I can't fix this, I'll have to start all over again with the bodice, which would put me several days behind again, and I'm already pushing it. At this point, I won't have a Ciel cosplay at all, probably not even for NDK if I can't figure this out.
PLEASE, I REALLY REALLY NEED YOUR HELP!!!!
