RB's motivation: Notepad dress yourself!

So I think everything from the neck down for Notepad might be done. I'm almost jittery thinking about it like, really? Are you sure? Almost can't tell, just so used to never getting anywhere really close

So i'll take you down my journey of just this dress. Here is the dress, and because I ran out of all my fabric that the cosplay fox gave me, I started using curtain fabric. The hem is perfect for making the veil too. But see the slight clash in shades of white, one is cream, the other stark white

Also all the damn fabric the curtains gave me. Like I seriously cut them in half, one for the veil and the other is just for cutting up for the dress. AND I STILL HAVE FABRIC LEFT OVER.


Also neck piece entirely finished, even with the pearls attached the right way, plus with help from Diva as the only other person who has seen me wear a test run in real time.


Giant test run of the dress pretty much finished. This is with the petticoat. I'm concerned it's still not big and poofy enough. But it is pretty heavy so far. And if someone touches my butt I can't feel it. I also almost tripped, so a little worried even if I was willing to add more fabric, when is too much?


But besides worrying, here is the start of the headdress. Yes this is a paper plate cut down and spray painted. We all have humble beginnings. Getting prepared to cover the rest in gold sculpy as well as attach the pencils later on. The hole in the middle is for the clip that will attach to the wig eventually. Don't worry I have a plan, I'm sure of it 


Here is the dress in two damn petticoats. I felt a huge difference, but my standards will forever be, not enough poof. But I couldn't see my feet when I looked down either, so good enough, we'll stick with two petticoats and call the operation done for now
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! -fatigue-

All that's left is how to dye all that damn veil fabric black, an easy way that is......sharpies won't work this time.
