Sep. 28th, 2008 10:55 pmNot even a month after I got over my last cold, and I've come down with another one. This is a chest cold (very unusual for me) and for the past couple days I've been coughing and hacking and wheezing and trying various cold and cough medicines in the hopes of some peace. At least my throat has stopped hurting... although my voice still sounds like I'm 70.
In spite of all that, Lynette came over yesterday for a fitting. She's modelling the Maiden costume for my senior project, and even though the dress has been basically finished since the spring, she'd never yet tried it on. (We're almost exactly the same measurements, so I felt I could get away with that). I was SO relieved to find that it DID fit her after all, AND she looks PERFECT for the character. Yes, it deserves all those caps. This is IMPORTANT. I just need to sew on a bunch of hooks and eyes and then I can totally forget about this one until the photoshoot at the end of this semester.
Isn't it just delightfully, nauseatingly pink? Definitely the silliest thing I've ever made ever.
My dad's response to this photo: "Did YOU make that?"
Why yes, yes I did.

(and the Queen's costume must be done by the end of this week or I am DEAD. (or at least shot in the foot)
Fortunately, it's coming along well. I have now achieved all the undergarments and the sleeves. Really, really cool sleeves. In fact, they are the most fabulous sleeves imaginable. Rather like golden exoskeletons.)
