Description This was the first time I wore this and it needs a lot of reworking. Besides the fact that I started on it the Sunday before the con, and flew by the seat of my pants making it, I had some issues with my airbrush and compressor that prevented me from doing the gradient (my favorite part). My accessories broke in my bag on the way, the bangles broke, the sleeves are too small and not puffy. The boob inserts need to be replaced. The collar, or satan, had boning, wire, and fun foam and still refused to stand. I'm re-engineering it between wig commissions, school, and bartending. I'll also be redoing the orange trim on the entire outfit. I was even thinking of taking apart and resewing the skirt so the edges are on the inside.

I kind of based my wig off of GunstarVixen's because I loved her design so much, but I'm going to redo it since the collar squashed it.

I also really badly need a tan since I'm so pale and when I'm freezing cold my skin starts to mottle like a corpse D8. Major do not want. I actually don't have that much cellulite but the purple mottling doesn't help the look very much.

So yes, version one since there's a lot to fix on this.

The costume is built on a bra that I found at Marshall's for $7. The purple fabric was fabric I bought, as was the marabou. It's actually really sturdy.

I'm from Michigan. Haha yea that wouldn't happen with this costume at all. I make sure all of my costumes are secure enough to avoid that sort of mishap.

Not bad, not bad. Vinyl is a bit of an odd choice for a fantasy character, but I suppose whatever works, right?

You have a very nice, milky complexion. I wouldn't get a tan if I were you, but then I'm not, am I? It really is up to you.

lunaladyoflight In reply to ONB-6 [2009-02-09 05:54:50 +0000 UTC]

Vinyl was the only fabric that would lay correctly. I've seen it done with lycra and satin, neither lay correctly. Plus vinyl is pretty resilient, warm, and waterproof. It's a smooth canvas for me to airbrush on too.

I'm thinking maybe just a tiny bit darker, to make sure no one sees my veins O.O;

Hey!

Personally, I can't give a full crit since this is a WIP, but the outfit (sans, back sail thing..) looks very well constructed.

My only main dish is the sudden rift in between forehead and wig, otherwise, keep it up.

The boots are ankle boots, they just matched the fabric exactly.

Raven-Of-Azarath [2009-02-05 08:49:14 +0000 UTC]

Oh my. Despite all the flaws you pointed out, the dress (if you could call what she wears a dress x3 ) came out really good! The wig looks strangely uniform, though.

But you have plenty of time to improve on the outfit. And may I suggest using a lighter weight material for the collar? Maybe that was why it wasn't staying upright. Or you could use lots and lots of stiff wire...

lunaladyoflight In reply to Raven-Of-Azarath [2009-02-05 16:51:45 +0000 UTC]

If I changed the material for the collar it wouldn't look right. I'm just going to use a stiffer inside piece or use heavier gauge wire to make boning faux boning along the fun foam.

Dreamstrifer In reply to lunaladyoflight [2009-02-05 06:38:58 +0000 UTC]

Oh reeeeally? Interesting. My machine HATES spandex. but it doesn't seem to mind the imitation leather I used for my AC Tifa (but that's probably because I used uholstry thread and denim needles). I'll have to buy a bit of vinyl and see how it holds up, for future costumes.

What kind of presser foot do you have? I bought a $35 teflon coated foot so I could make LeBlanc without sticking.

Dreamstrifer In reply to lunaladyoflight [2009-02-05 06:47:55 +0000 UTC]

Whatever came with my machine. Just a regular Brother one. Which might explain why the spandex kept getting caught. I'll probably have to look into buying one of those whenever I pursue my adventures in vinyl. I also need a zipper foot. *sigh* I have no monies though.

lunaladyoflight In reply to Dreamstrifer [2009-02-05 06:50:50 +0000 UTC]

Yea. I got a special one from the Husqvarna store since mine is a Viking. You'll probably be able to find a universal one. If your feet snap into place you might be able to use the Vikinh one.

Wow, I didn't think a person would make a FF x-2 reference besides me, you look good! Just a little suggestion though, try in photoshop or GIMP, to alter the chest area so it doesn't look like your wearing the bra (yeah, it's visible).
Good job though, this came out quite well.

It's two clear straps sewn into the leotard actually. I'm not so good with photoshop. I'd probably make it look worse.

Yea, I didn't think greasy would look so good on me but I've gotten a major request to make it messier and piecier. I'm also redoing it because it was crushed by the collar. XD

Care to see my one screenpic of the "Duty Calls" Mission from X-2? I just thought it was that gross and hilarious.
