Sneak Peek: Princess Leia, Yavin Ceremony

I still need to hem the bottom of the gown and figure out the hair, but here's what I have so far!



Here's my dress form, modeling the medal of Yavin.



Sneak Peek: Princess Leia and Peggy Carter!

I was going to wait until I had all the finishing touches done before posing, but I was happy to oblige when mom wanted to take some pictures!

Counting down to DragonCon 2016

When did August arrive?

And where did all the time go between when we decided to go to DragonCon and now? It seemed like I had so much time!

Both of my Cosplays are recognizable, despite all the myriad finishing touches waiting for me.

Our front room is full of empty cardboard boxes from the fabric and accessories I've ordered.

I'm mostly avoiding guilt about ordering my husband's costumes and not making them myself. To be fair, there's no reason for me to make the chef gear for his Linguine (from Ratatouille) costume. But, ideally, I would have made his Han Solo outfit. I may still make him the shirt from the Yavin Ceremony scene, since his costume has the regular ANH shirt. However, being realistic about what I have time to accomplish is going to keep me from giving in to the dark side. . . .
