The part that is stumping me is the different sized necklines. I'd really love to line the whole outfit, but with the different sized necklines it's been a bit challenging. I had an "ah ha!" moment at midnight last night on what to try next but it was too late to try anything with it. If it doesn't work out I think I'm going to have to either scrap lining this garment or sub a white tank-top with a neckline shape that I like.
The following image is someone's fairly accurate recreation that I've been working off of for my reference.
I haven't done anything with Jason's costume yet other than shrinking the fabric before I cut it. I have to cut out the pieces, iron on the stripes and then construct the Jacket. Really shouldn't be hard at all just a wee bit time consuming.
Thanks to Make It Love It for the inspiration/help on the stripes.
I'm still feeling confident that I can get these done by this weekend though. Just need to power through!! =D
On a different note registering for CONvergence rooms was this past weekend and oh what a cluster that was. Long story short the server crashed almost instantly and for myself and all my friends we never saw anything other than "no rooms available". We all ended up getting rooms at the Sofitel across the street (and hopefully all on the same floor) so who knows we may end up liking that location better. The Elevator traffic at the DoubleTree get's backed up pretty bad and if your on one of the higher floors it takes forever to get on an elevator going down, so you usually end up walking down the stairs.
Speaking of CONvergence ...I'm super excited as always. I've got several new costumes that I hope to make and wear next year. No plans as of yet to enter the masquerade but that could always change. I'll be bringing back Kaylee's Shindig Dress, Luna Lovegood, Dr Horrible Groupie and most likely Dark Phoenix. New costumes are going to be Mary Poppins (with TARDIS bloomers ...cause after all she is a time lady), Castle Anthrax wench, Rose Tyler (circa Empty Child ...victorian-ized) and possibly Quidditch Robes. The theme next year is British Invasion so for the first time most of my costumes will fit the theme (not that I've ever really cared).
Trying to figure out a good time to wear Kaylee again, the costume was awesome and I got great response from it but it was a little on the large side and hard to get in and out of the party rooms with. I'm guessing early evening on either Friday or Saturday. Party room costumes will most likely be Mary Poppins, Rose Tyler or Castle Anthrax wench. I'll also be wearing Rose Tyler to TARDIS tea on Sunday afternoon.
That's all I have for now. More updates later as the costumes progress =)
