Finished sewing the suit

Posted on July 14, 2003 by Trystan

I’m done! This pattern does not have the best instructions — not very clear in places, left details out until the end. Nothing that you can’t figure out if you read everything three times before starting and three more times as you go along. But it’s a real bother.

Anyway, it’s complete, and now I want to do a painfully cutesy photoshoot somewhere like the San Jose historical park. In front of the candy shop. With a giant lollypop. Yeah, it’s just that disgustingly cute 😉 Oddly enough, I realized this outfit is rather similar to the Japanese Gothic Lolita look. Totally not intentional, and I came up with the idea years and years before I heard of that fashion trend. Amusing none-the-less.
