I didn't complete as much as anticipated this weekend due to going out and partying.  However, I did get all the ruffles on the skirt and hem the petticoat.  Now I just need to start mocking up the bodice...

Hi There!  I'm new to the group and was pointed here by a few friends.  I've been working on Kaylee's Shindig dress for over a month now and decided to share some in progress pics :-)  I've loved this dress since I first saw it.  It's the right amount of fluffy pink girly-ness that I love without being too pink and girly lol.  I JUST got a ruffle ( Read more... )

Hi, everyone!

Long time lurker, first-time posting. I recently threw together a Kaylee costume in a short period of time for a Can't Stop the Serenity event. It was so much fun, and I loved seeing Serenity on the big screen again. Even seeing the title above the theater was exciting!

The previous post reminded me that I wanted to show off a little bit of my Shindig Kaylee outfit progress. :) There's a bit more hemming and such to be done on the skirt, but it's finally, finally getting closer to done. I've probably spent over 20 hours on this costume so far, just with undergarments, petticoats, and the never-ending pleating, ( Read more... )

Hello. I've started working on my Kaylee "Shindig" dress, but I'm having some issues finding the right fabric. I know the bodice is mostly silk, but I can't seem to find the right color ( Read more... )
