Aislin was standing next to me while I was looking at the first picture and said, "That's a princess dress!"

:D Bad mood gone, right there. Just not in Game of Thrones. It's too dangerous to be a princess in that story.

Definitely not a Game of Thrones princess! I think she was leaning more toward Disney. :)

All looks fabulous, though. The noblewoman looks like one of those evolving-type costumes where you'll continuously add details (and I can't wait to see 'em!).

The Star Trek kimono is beautiful, and the Mortal Kombatist in me keeps thinking, "totally more kick-ass than Scorpion's outfit!" which was what I thought it sort of resembled at first (ah, me and my video games...).

COOKIE MONSTER!!! Totally am voting to see a pin cushion of the CM! ^^

Don't feel bad about your mistakes, we all make them, and some of us have done much stupider (shirt with three sleeves and no neck, anyone?).

Where on earth did you come up with a third sleeve?

So... EMBARASSMENT AHEAD! killpurakat April 18 2012, 05:51:29 UTC

Okay, REALLY cringe-worthy, but during an attempt to make something by myself in the early days (I learned a bit about sewing from a neighbor and then used friends and patterns to go from there), I decided a shirt would be a good idea ( ... )

I had found a good set of photos of a transparent kataginu on an auction site that I thought would help, but maybe it was the lack of seeing one in person that was doing me in. In retrospect I should have just cut a set out of white muslin and made lots of markings on it until I got the folds right.
