ladyofthethreadAlready put these up on ACP but didn’t get around to resizing them to post here until today. This batch has my older Ayame costume from the chapter where they visited a lake for Golden Week and Count D’s vacation outfit.
Okay, so it doesn’t look that much like Ayame from this pic (probably should have run my straightening iron through the wig again before the trip) but you can see the lake! ^_^; The people in the boat probably thought we were weird.
I like how the leaves kind of frame the spot where I’m standing. Unfortunately, I look grumpy since we were running behind and I was worried it would start raining before we finished with photos. >_>;
We found a vacant villa at one end of the resort so we took a few pictures on the terrace there.
I wish I’d remembered to pack my Yuki plushie and my parasol. I was having trouble thinking of poses after a while. ^_^;;
I saw a baby fish in the water so tiny that it just looked like an orange squiggle.
Not quite a tropical island… ^_^; Unfortunately, we never got to do beach pictures with this one like I wanted. This outfit was from the chapter where D went on vacation with the Orcots and got amnesia after falling off a boat.
We only got to take a few pictures on the terrace since it started raining again soon after.
I look a bit too cranky for D with amnesia. ^_^;; And another sightseeing boat manages to make its way into the picture! LOL
We tried to recreate the D walking into a glass wall scene but it didn’t work that well. XD;
And that’s it for cosplay vacation photos!
Got back to work on my Ekaterina petticoat and I think it should be okay after a few more tweaks. I still don’t get how the waistline came out about 10” larger than what the book said it should be when I first tried it before Costume Con. o_O
NYAF is only 5 weeks away but with the hot weather, I haven’t been very eager to work on the jacket since it would require the undergarments for fitting.
Maybe, I could work on the hat first? Hopefully, I’ll be able to find someplace to get buckram in the city since I’d rather not have to order it online and wait. I wonder if I could substitute needlepoint canvas if I can’t find it since I still have some of that.
I suppose if I run into any more big problems with this, I’ll shelve it again until winter and make Youko for NYAF instead.

Yeah, Ekaterina has been delayed a lot. -_-; It was actually the first costume I started on this year but I kept having problems with the outer clothes and pushed it back because I didn't want to burn out over it. Then, I pushed it back to fall since I didn't want to try wearing it in the summer with the layers and the corset.
