feymegganOkay, so, I'm a shoe fiend :: points at icon:: And I neeeeeever get rid of shoes unless they're beyond repair or finally too small(hasn't happened in two decades). So, digging through my shoes I laughed as I encountered shoes I'd bought/used in 9th grade that are PERFECT for my steampunk outfit. I'm painting brass detailing on them, and will probably add other things as well, but they're soooo perfect it's insane. And I didn't even know I still owned them! Doesn't help that I own over 50 pair of shoes, I often forget what I have :).
As for the rest of my outfit. I'm fitting the tailed bodice today, then assembling it. Lastly I'll mock up the hat and make that...and then I just have to wait to have money to make the belt/holster/combo unit! I found a cute set of jewelers lenses that I'll paint, augment and attach to to my glasses and I'm good to go :) I had a mock up of a necklace I wanted made, but now I highly doubt it would be feasible, it's ridiculously detailed. But that's okay, and it means once I'm done in a day or so I can full speed into Amanda's costume so I can stay on time. And OMG, I love the pants I made!!! I usually suck so hard at making them, but these are too cute! And I already put in their button holes too, go me!
Nearly laughed my ass off when my roommate said she understood that we were 'entering crunch time for NDK'. I informed her I'm done outside of wig work for that con, and she nearly smacked me. Woulda be sooooooooo worth it.
