Spotlight trip was successful! They had both patterns I wanted, found some red denim and saved $40 buying stuff.
Got most of the things I need for Subaru now, will need to get gloves, jeans and cut the wig~~

& I may straighten the wig I got for Kusaka soon... But the curls are so pretty :>

I've spent countless hours and a wad of cash trying to find the perfect brassy/copper paint/rub'n'buff/ANYTHING for my armour. Test run with the cruddly gold acrylic in my scraps pile and it works pretty much perfectly. *sigh*

I have figured out the trick to getting hot-glue armour flat and mostly smooth (obviously, its going slowly and being patient, I should have guessed that). One more layer on the breastplate and thats done, although it is the most complex layer. Then to paint it. Backplate is more ornate but has less material involves, shouldn't take me nearly as long. Then the straps to connect the front to the back - I need big shoulders, an underarm strap and like a spiral of gold. All materials accounted for. Vambrace need another coat of cruddy gold acrylic, then to rivet my armour together (first I have to find where I cleverly hid my rivets. Here rivets rivets rivets~). Then it's just the boots and getting over this freaking bug before Au Contraire.
Oh, and finish organising the exhibition and the panels. Argh, Still no idea what they want for the Love my Fandom panel.

I drafted the patterns for the duster and the skirt myself. Arm-warmers were winged :B Shorts were converted from a pair of pants, camisole was in my wardrobe. Um. I neglected to take a picture of the finished duster by itself with its 4.8m of bias tape. But here's some of the skirt!

Spoiler:
	$2 shop zips yo, same on the shorts. This means they don't unfasten at the bottom :B

^Bawww <3 Thanks alot C: I've been like, working on 4 cosplays at once <3 Nearly done *A*

And I've been doing more work on my dress tonight. Added a little clip at the back, sewed my zip in properly, sewed the straps on better, sewed the third tier on properly. Tomorrow I shall make me some more ruffles for the last tier and sew my second sleeve and probably the blindfold too!

Belt, missing bias tape. Duster, with bias tape!

Spoiler:
	Sketch of the design with chalk. Was going to hand embroider it, but I gave up. Bad lighting is horrible.

I might need a white fabric pen (bleach pen?) if they exist and some white bias tape too. Then onto the wings painted on the duster and weapons... then I'm done? Wow, that was quick. There's not even any 'Geddons I'm going to soon. :0

eta: Finished the belt yo! Made the bias myself, fixed up the paint a little (acrylic and a bit of water, correction pen, charcoal pencil and ink pen) and yeah. Wicked. 8Db

Spoiler:
	Looking a little better now... Finished ta-da!!

:Db

I may never want to pleat again.

Each pleat is hand sewn where it meets the next and there are five rows (one is just over the edge of the table)

Mina dress from Dracula. I have now cut all the fabric for the pleats and I have 6.5M left from a 22.5m length I originally bought.

Plus lots (lots) of scraps to make the leaves. Oh the leaves. Well I did figure out how to make them and I know how to make them fairly quickly. But with so many hundreds of the suckers:

I may still go mad.

One of the petticoats to go under it.

Kitty cat "helping". Not playing scratch and chase the scraps at all.

I Love your kitttty!!!
oh, and the dress is impressive too...
