I have a dress! (Or I will soon, anyway)

ladyofthethreadOoh, I got a lot done today! ^_^ I finished my last sequined flower, cut my fabric, and did nearly all the sewing for the outer layer of the dress. I’m stitching the hem by hand now and still need to put in the lining and add some trim. Might post a progress picture over the weekend if there’s time.
Then, it’ll be more work on accessories. I’m a bit worried now about whether I’ll need to change stuff with scarves. I tried putting the pink and yellow ones I did over the dress this afternoon and thought they looked somewhat too subdued colorwise to go with the dress. ^_^;; Maybe, it’ll look better after I get the purple one done since it won’t be pastel.
Only a week left until I leave for Otakon. I hope I can figure out the remainder of this costume and get everything ready and packed in time! My Fruits Basket costumes should be fine but the Twelve Kingdoms outfits will probably need ironing. The huge sleeves on my nyosen uniform like to wrinkle into folds just from the weight of the fabric when it’s on a hanger. -_-; Need to see if I can make my hair extension less wobbly, too; it can get kind of crooked after a while.
I’m thinking I should try to get another compact flash card for my camera, too, to make sure I don’t run out of room for photos. I only have the little one that came with the camera and one other and they hold about 120-130 pictures together. And I’m guessing that might not be enough for a con as big as Otakon. ^_^;
