So, as Kesteral has already mentioned, Avatar costumes are of for next weekend. Boo. I just hope we get the opportunity to actually wear them at another con, since I've already invested in 90% of the materials for my costume and finished the bodice.

BUT, on the upside I have a Pokemon Gijinka! I managed to finish all the sewing (and a little gluing

I love the bow/tail <3 Your works are always so pretty!

Awwww, thank you! I still want to figure out a way to make the bow less floppy, but I'll take when I can get at this point.

I like that you went for the shiny organza! It looks great, and looks almost just like a heko obi. And, as usual, you look great in wafuku (Japanese clothes)! Looks like you're getting the dressing down pat, too. Yay!

I probably spent an hour looking for the link you first sent me with those Obi and couldn't find it for the life of me! I'm glad it turned out acceptably without the real-life reference.

I'm working on the dressing part... Still too many wrinkles, but then it's the wrong fabric, and the whole thing is too big for me (even though I sized down the instructions by 8-10"... I wonder what size person it was intended for O_o).

Sadness for Avatar- but you look AWESOME in goldeen! I can't wait to see it in person- the bow is lovely especially.

LOL, you can see just how much of a mess the bow is in person; it's too floppy because it's too big :(

Avatar should still happen sometime, we just don't know when anymore XP

The bow...! It is amazing!
You make a very charming Goldeen.

Thanks! It looks even better in person... shiny organza + flash make me sad. I want poke-photos at the con! ^_^
