The con is getting closer and closer each day! How many of you still need to work on your costumes? :D ...@_@;; I still need to get a few things for mine! Hopefully I'll finish in time! I just got done sewing a few things onto a hat :D (Yeah, I'm slowly trying to learn how to sew! @_@;; Needles hurt, y0!)


So yeah, I was just wondering how many people are in a costume frenzy or sewing frenzy still. XD

Well I have someone working on my dress...now I need stuff done with makeup, a purse, and some accessory stuff >.<

Luckily most of this is easily done....buuuut still. The hardest part will be concealing it from my parental units that I live with. I think I got it covered though ^^;;

I have the jacket ready, since there was something wrong with the shoulders I had to open them up, take stuff out, and sew it back up again. (I'm kinda proud of my sew-job!) I need the ninja headband, scarf, Coco Kitty, and spray-on red hair dye, and I'll be done.

For my Havoc [FMA] costume I need a -fake- cigarette [I don't smoke >>] and.. military boots. XD

For my Ed costume [Cowboy Bebop] I need goggles..

And I need wigs for both of them, then I'll be done. I'm really short on cash right now though so um.. I'm having a yard sale.. :p

*dromroll* so I am actually roughly 43% done with everything... bleh...

But I'm skipping prom to do it, so it's all good.

Then I have 0% of a Dosu commission done >_>; but I only have to do the jacket so it'll work out.

3 pieces of armor cast... paper mache is done.... now I just have to finish the wire forms, cast the other 4 pieces, epoxy the edges of 5, bondo 'em all, paint... done! Oh... and then I have to figure out how to like... connect them all... the materials I used probably won't allow for how it SHOULD be done... *sigh* I wonder if it's gonna look bad if there aren't all the holes in the right places... maybe I can just paint them on...
ACK! So much work! Why am I on the forums?? *Runs off to slave away*

i got a hem and a fastener done last night while watching "capote". o-o;

i still have a lot to do. mostly just random things that are fiished and need ot be attached, which does not take too long. however, i still have to get materials- cord for making frogs and cord for lacing tape. >>

and i need to finsih my headress, ring, and arm stuff. i might be able to just skip the arm stuff, seeing as she has versions of the costume without it... but then i woudl need diffrent arm stuff. >>

overall? these are my breakdowns:
sae kurosawa - 85% (not going to ever be at 100, i am afraid. i am not even planning on working on it before thsi fanime. o-o;)
koe PV - 75% (see above as t why. >>)
chou PV (red x white) - 60% (gah! stupid skirt! x-x i need to fix it so that i can at least wear it without it falling, down, but... >>)

My Edo boots are getting fixed and the rest of the costume is getting done too, I think.

My other two outfits are either getting dry-cleaned or fixed.

I got just about all of my stuff done. I just gotta decide if I want to use the cheaper by $20-30 shoes....or the more expensive cuter shoes...

Not to mention I'm waiting on my dress to get mailed to my friend so I can pick it up. I REALLY hope it gets there before Friday, or else that's going to MAJORLY suck all ass  :cry:  :cry:  :cry:

Argh. I don't know why my costume isn't done yet. It's the same character I always do (Gaara), but with a different outfit. And so far I've done next to nothing.  #-o

I have all the parts and pieces necessary (I might be missing the vest that he stars wearing later on, but that's an easy fix) but I haven't really tried anything, made sure the shoes still fit, or fixed my gourd.

I'm such a horrible cosplayer. Don't look at me! I'm hideous!  :(
