Bodysuit

The bodysuit for my costume showed up yesterday ...glee!!

Not much progress on the costume untill now, I was waiting for the suit to show up to finish up everything else. I'm going to have to rethink my boots, cause the ones i had picked out just aren't going to work. I think i've found a soulution though so not to worried about it.

Still debating about wether I want to buy white spandex and dye it gold to match the gloves I dyed. It would require spending more money that I really don't have =P

Here's my progress as of last night.

decisions decisions

well i cut out the fabric for my gloves today. but i'm still indifferent on making them, i really loved the idea of just dying the gloves yellow and avoiding the hassel of it all.

I really love the golden yellow color that the dyed gloves turned out to be. even though it means spending more money and "wasting" the fabric i already bought ...i'm really tempted to buy white spandex and dye it that golden yellow color so it would match the gloves. of couse i think of this after i spend all that money on the yellow spandex =/

Adventures in Sewing

So I've been working on my Halloween costume for a couple of days now and it's going ok I guess ...I'm working with spandex for the first time so it's been a bit of a trial by error. Oh yeah I'm going to be Dark Phoenix from X-Men =P

I had originally bought a pattern to make gloves but recently decided that it might be best to try to dye some gloves yellow instead of making them in spandex. It's not going as planned and after two attempts I think I might be admitting defeat and moving onto making them with the original fabric i bought.

Here's a couple of pics of what i've got so far: Wig, Spandex

I'm still waiting on the bodysuit to arrive ...not sure if i want to attempt the boots/covers without it. Still not sure how i want to go about making the boots anyways. I have some old boots from my haruko costume that i'll prolly use.
