Okay Lotte(PatF) costs thus far:
All materials for the dress: $18
Materials for the corset: $20
Materials for the hoopskirt: $50
Materials for the wig: $40

Why are all the underbits so much more costly??! But I'm in the process of making her huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge hoops, I'll fit through doors...but sideways only! And holy crap the pink of it all!

Oh, and Nikko...you, and Liz and like three other people will be able to hide under this dress AT THE SAME TIME. It will be epic.

YES~!!!!! -jumps under the dress-

LMAO we shall get LOTS of 'what lives in lotte's dress' shots!

Sounds full of silly giggles. Do share pics when ready. <3

Yesh that will be so awesome~!!!

If it is a pink dress it certainly will be. <3

oh so, so much pink LOL I got all teh tulle today as well, we'll see if 25 yards is enough, or if I'll be insane and have to get more. I'm still not sure how I'm putting the hoops together...they're more like panniers or pocket hoops...

Who is it you are cos-playing again?

Charlotte La Bouff from Princess and the Frog, her giaaaaaaaaant ballgown.

Ah! *Checks.* I see. That is poofy. XD

lol well she will have to go side ways though the door.

which I measured. 36" check!

omg XD this is so awesome.

So awesome that you need shades. :cool:

I think she would if she ya know has sparkles to it.

It! Must! Have! Sequins! :cool:

and lots of PINK~!

Wai Fey when did you want to give me the stuff?

It already is pink, Echo. It must be pink and SPARKLY.

Yes angel it must me.

Nuuuuuuuuu, no sequins! But...I shall have random handfuls for glitter to toss about should I find an appropriate spot light >.>

And Nikko, I was gonna run it to you today, but as I just woke up and I'm pretty sure you're at work that won't work. Shiba says you work next sunday? I may run stuff to you then.

they do sell glitter fabric paint

I take it you've not SEEN the scene in question, so I shall file the suggestion away under 'no'. I'm currently discovering that giant hoops are evil, and I've no idea how to keep the ends together...hmm...

I've seen the movie, doesn't have sequins or even much glitter

The fabric is shiny. Needs glitter and sequins. XD

I would use that sheer costume fabric that has that accent glitter in it

Glitter.

Heh heh heh.

:: steps away from both of you:: you people and your glitter. I'll stick with mah material I've already got, specially since all the yardage only set me back $18, well, twenty if you include the interfacing I already owned.

*Rolls about in confetti.* ^U^

I actually don't like glitter, they just spread on your body in which you can't wash off

Glitter is fun. XD

glitter is one of those things that you don't want too much off, glitter as tiny accent is alright but not half of the whole dress

Shiny!!! ^u^

Anyway, I'm sure it will turn out nice.

I'm hopeful, right now I'm just wishing the brownies would come in and finish the hoop channels for me....

i've never been to a con before
'cause there's only one that i know of near me (living in africa sucks sometimes) and i miss it every year
but if i can make it next year i will
and at some point i really want to crossplay the 10th Doctor
but it will take lots of strapping on the boobage >.<

compression vests are my friend....mine looks like a postage stamp when I'm not wearing it LOL

w-what's a compression vest?
sorry if i sound like a noob... it's 'cause i am XD

a compression vest is a way to 'bind' for crossplay. Usually used by larger chested people :) And no worries, I don't mind questions.

oooh i'll have to look into that
'cause i am seriously busty
but i don't wanna get stuck only ever cosplaying people like Tifa, y'know?
i wanna be 10, or Captain Jack Harkness, or Indiana Jones!

LOL you can cosplay whomever you want...though as another busty person I'll admit it's nice to toss in a cleavage character here and there to keep things balanced.
