(And I hear you all breathing a sigh of relief thinking &#8220;thank the frickin&#8217; gods, now maybe she&#8217;ll shut up about the damn thing!&#8221; heh, no such luck, kiddos \ud83d\ude09 See, you must understand, I will have almost nowhere to wear any of these costumes. I just don&#8217;t go to that many costumed events, &amp; the ones I do attend don&#8217;t necessarily have anything to do with my latest costume obsessions. The sushi victorian is a slight exception, in that I&#8217;m making it specifically for an picnic in October. But still, I&#8217;ll get to wear it that one day for a few hours, &amp; that&#8217;s all.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve resigned myself to not wearing my costumes. I don&#8217;t have much choice about it. Yet, I can&#8217;t stop myself from creating more of these ridiculous outfits. Thus, I feel compelled to take &amp; post as many pictures as possible of the process &amp; finished project. Pictures online have replaced wearing costumes in public for me. Egotistical? Sure. Narcissistic? You bet. But it&#8217;s all I&#8217;ve got, so gimmie a break \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>Another thing &#8212; I think I missed my calling in costuming. I&#8217;m really enjoying these silly costumes much more than the serious ones. I should have been a costume humorist. I wasted so many years making proper Renaissance court gowns &amp; serious fantasy things when I&#8217;d have been better at funny costumes.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, let me crow a little bit about the fact that I have completed the vast majority of the whole costume (only hat, choker, &amp; T&#8217;s cravat &amp; pocket square to make) this far in advance! Based on tonight&#8217;s meeting w\/a contractor, it looks like September will be taken up with remodeling the garage, so it&#8217;s a damn good thing I&#8217;m done w\/the sushi victorian now. The picnic is the 1st wknd of October, &amp; I&#8217;ll have no time next month to do any costuming. Whew.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finally! The gown itself is done!
