Progress pics and talkings!

[pixyteri]

I'm getting much closer to finishing FF7 Tifa, I think I'll be done in early December. (I need to finish the elbow armor, boots, and extensions..the boots are the hardest, because I'm trying to find a boot that's already red. There are some on E-bay, I just have to get the money for it.)

Here are a few progress pictures:

Ah, it's looking quite nice, so far.

Are you going to sew the suspenders to the shirt right underneath your breasts? it would look more accurate to do so.

to be quite honest, I think you should find a shirt that is bigger... you have some tig ol' bitties... they look kind of... flattened with that shirt. D:
Also, I think Tifa's shirt would be a little longer at the torso...

That's my two cents. :3

btw, what kind of phone are you using now? I remember you were talking about an iPhone before...

I am going to sew the suspenders to the shirt :D

I think the shirt size is fine, I want it to be tight, hers looks tight around her boobs. O_O; So I want it to be accurately boob hugging.

The length I can't really help I think I may have just sewn it too short..maybe I'll fix it when I have more time to do so.

Iphone! :D

it's not the tightness >< AH I meant something along the lines of the way the shirt is made at the bottom, just below the chest area! it seems to me that it should be fitted at the chest, but below slightly bigger... not skintight/hugging.

and yes, a centimeter or two longer would not hurt. ^^

I dunno how to do that though since I've already, you know, sewn it. It's just the way the shirt is made that it's tighter there...and I don't want to buy a whole new shirt and alter it again just yet. O_O;; But yeah, that's just cuz I suck at sewing that it looks like that. ^.^;;

Snow? Ooh lucky!

[zombieandgrits]

you have the cutest phone ever and I'm sooooo jealous XD

[pixyteri]

Thank you :D

[unreal_dreamer]

hey you are doing well so far! The only thing I would change is....your hair needs a little more volume :) Try practicing on giving you hair some oooomf <3

[pixyteri]

XD I'm bad at styling my hair. But I guess I could try, my hair's not very oomfy anyway. Tho, I am adding extensions to give it the length. It'll definitely be an improvement from my first Tifa experiences with a messy wig. :D

[unreal_dreamer]

just be careful, adding extensions will weigh your hair down more! Have a hairdresser add in some light layers and try not to iron your hair everyday. Also don't use a lot of product :) My favorite thing to do is sleep with my hair still damp, it gives me a lot of body!

[pixyteri]

I barely ever use product. :) But for these progress pics, my hair was messy/not styled right for Tifa.

But by extensions I mean her length/scrunchy/fishtail. To get that length, I'm using an extension clip-on because my real hair won't be able to be that long. :3

Thank you for the advice!

[zero_love]

I want an iPhone. So many cute accessories!

[pixyteri]

Thank you! Yeah they rock!

Eh, the costume is fairly accurate but you're still way too big to cosplay Tifa.
I mean you've lost a lot of weight and you'd likely have similar body types at the same weight but you could still stand to lose 40 lbs + if you wanted to look like her.

[pixyteri]

That's your opinion. :) But I'm constantly working out and still hasn't helped :P It's even gotten to where I get nauseous lately.

I think I have a great body for Tifa. And that's what matters, and there's plenty of others out there that would agree with me. :)

I wish I could lose 40 lbs but I've been trying for years and nothing. So, I guess I'd need a personal trainer and a lot of money, eh?

[necrid_ei]

I don't mean to offend you really but Tifa is very, very slim with a decent amount of muscle, your bodies at the moment are nowhere near similar. Not to say you couldn't look alike but at your current weight in that kind of outfit you come off as looking a little insane.
You could easily lose 40lbs too, you don't need money or a trainer for that.
I once gained a load of weight and lost it all to become 112lbs at 5'5 just by eating less, cutting out certain foods and increasing my exercise.
I'm sure you could do that too?

[pixyteri]

I HAVE BEEN. I don't make a lot of money, so I can't afford to eat perfect meals all the time. I eat healthy when I can afford it, but with my job and lifestyle it's very difficult. I do exercise, I'm pretty sure I've mentioned that a million times
