Dracula's Finished!!!

So it's closing night and I just finished doing a hair for a couple of people. I ended up getting my money a week before opening so I was sewing like crazy, either staying up till 3 in the morning sewing or staying up till 3 in the morning lying in my bed worrying about costumes. So, if you haven't figured it out, taking pictures of construction was the least of my worries. They did turn out beautifully though.

I'll be posting pictures probably sometime tomorrow or at least in the next week. It could take a bit cause my show Once Upon A Mattress opens on Friday and graduation is on Wednesday (Woohoo!). But I will try to get them up as soon as possible.

Bride One's costume (Traditional) Part 1

I've started!!! Here we go!


I decided to use a pattern instead of making my own, since I already had this and it's exactly what I want.

I decided to use this really awesome fabric I have lying around as a contrast on the front panel. I found out it sucks to sew with this fabric.

This is the bodice. Sort of. I still need to do boning, lining, and grommets. I decided not to do side lacings.

Me attempting to put the zipper foot on my sewing machine. I had never done it before. It was extremely confusing as you can see by the expression on my face.

This is the awesome fabric. I have tons of it and I'm thinking I'm going to use some of it for the skirt. As I was taking this picture, I realized what the fabric reminds me of. The lining in coffins. Kind of cool how I'm using it to make a costume for a vampire, huh?
