Dragon*Con Review/Pictures

[bel_canto]

Jeez it's a long recovery when you get con crud. I'm still slightly congested. Meh. Anyways, here's my brief Con review and some pictures of how my Sarah costume came out.

First pictures of my costume. This was taken by an audience member while I was on stage displaying my workmanship. I was contestant #1!! Yikes! Actually though, it was a relief

it came out beautifully!!! And I have sleeve envy as well!

[bel_canto]

Thanks so much! I should say the same about your Dawn entry. So funny and total style points. :)

Those sleeves were a bit of a bother...I really should have attached them to the bodice but there really wasn't a good way as far as I could tell. Anyway, the sleeves are from a simplicity pattern. The only thing I used a pattern for on the whole thing! Yay me.

Thanks Jake. ;)

So so lovely. But you'd have to pay me to get me into a wig!!!

I would be so afraid of getting a dress like that dirty.

[bel_canto]

Ha! You should see the hem! The wig wasn't bad at all. My friend taught me how to properly prepare my head so it pinned in securely. And I had damp hair underneath so it wasn't really hot.

I got an email from Lee C from the DC costume track. Mentioned they are in SECS too.

I hope to make the Sept. meeting.

[bel_canto]

Indeed, Lee is part of our chapter. He was the coordinator of the costuming track. He's super awesome. :)

Looks like I won't be at the Sept meeting as I found out I have a concert that afternoon. Meh. Still, it should be fun and you should go and meet everyone.
