\"Arwen<\/a>

Arwen Rivendell gown, progress<\/p><\/div>\n

I finished sewing the basic outfit. Need to hand-sew the hems of both the under- and overgowns. Need to sew the placket into the overdress and sew on the hooks and bars.<\/p>\n

Next weekend, I’ll start the sash. I am going to try to embroider the design — very ambitious for me! I’ve been practicing machine embroidery, and I think I can do the main lines of the design on the machine. But the design has lots of small curved tips that I can’t replicate on the machine. I will try to complete those little bits by hand, and hopefully the start and stop points between machine- and hand-sewing won’t show too much. If I entirely fail this, well, I can fake it with fabric paint like others have done (not that paint will be all that easy either, plus it requires another trip to the store).<\/p>\n

This costume is really coming in under the wire for me. I am trying to finish enough of it to wear to BayCon on Memorial Day weekend. That’s only one more weekend away! I know I won’t have it fully complete. There’s embroidery on the bodice that I may or may not do. I don’t have buttons for the bodice. The wig<\/a> I ordered may not arrive in time (because I delayed buying it till after C9), plus I’ll need to style it. I don’t have the circlet at all — and while I would love to splurge on myself and buy the Noble Collection’s reproduction<\/a>, it doesn’t even ship in time! So all I have in the way of accessories is ear tips (just the cheapo style) and the makeup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
