Nargles, Otakon, retail sucks a nut. (now with actual retail content!)

I don't think I'm doing Belldandy after all; the blue I found was a jersey knit and I am lazy, and sewing stretchy jersey is just about akin to my personal idea of hell. (I saw 6am yesterday, so I suppose that would be why EVERYTHING totally seemed like a good idea. Now there's fabric all over the floor from rummaging about in the attic; still

Um, your links are not working right. XD

Because I didn't put the links IN there yet. This post seemed to disappear when I went to switch journals. :D

Saturday for steampunk group works for me. I figure I don't know what I'll wear Friday- I'll have Vyse done by that time, which could be fun, and also Pirate!Rydia if I wanted to actually wear that to the con. Maybe I will, heehee. Maybe that will be Friday!

[irish_ais]

OH SHIT. I forgot to put Rosa on the list.

[irish_ais]

Friday for the pirates work for you? They can be our "most of the day" costumes. The only time I'd need to get out of the corset will be for about an hour at noon to do Kate's shoot.

[katmillia]

Works for me. xD

[venefica_aura]

Saturday = steampunk = win
Sunday = Shinra = win. I was thinking of actually wearing my gangsterish getup (which is black and white) with my Shinra ID. And black fedora. Depends what I can pack. And if Drak gets me my black tie back, because she still has it. XD

Friday, well, I still have that Terra outfit, which I need to do some tweaks to, but I figure that'll work.

Yeah, I have a black suit coat and some super comfortable black pants. I'll thrift up a new white shirt and black tie (I just got rid of my one good white button down shirt because it ended up with red dye on it.)

[katmillia]

I have a black suit, so I'll wear that. Unless I decide to bring my skirt, instead of pants. Which could be cute!

[venefica_aura]

When I say gangster, I basically mean this: here.

Because it's comfortable and fun to wear. Turks in the 20s would wear something like that, I think. XD

Yay for Belldandy! I'm doing an Urd cosplay soon in the near future, so pic together must be had! :DD Hurrah for steampunk as well!

[irish_ais]

Ooh, what are you doing for AUSA?

[chibitifa]

My AUSA cosplay list is pretty booked, but I think I can fit Urd in there. I'm doing her TV version, so it's not too hard. :3

[irish_ais]

Oh, rawk. Yeah, I'd be doing probably a slightly more "dressy" version of Belldandy's TV design, since I'm all about adding shit to costumes that don't need it. (For all I know, this could turn out to be a ballgown. XD)

[first_seventhe]

I will either be Quistis both days, or a Turk on Friday... unless I can suddenly get my ass in gear and make a Rydia costume, but knowing me, I doubt it so much. Oh, well, I can at least be your super official photographer!

[irish_ais]

WE MUST DISCUSS QUISTIS SHIRTS.

Did you want one, or did you just want to be like, "BOOBS."?

[first_seventhe]

How much "boobs" would it be? Because I don't really care about "Boobs" -- but I care about looking like an idiot. There's a fine line! XD

[irish_ais]

I mean, it's not gonna be overwhelming, because the coat's cut from a Renaissance pattern which can be worn without a shirt. My personal feelings would be that a shirt would be the best course of action (I've got a pattern that I can use for a sort of wider sleeved shirt, and I can change the collar to a banded one).
