The other day, I picked up the cotton for the bustle petticoat, which was on sale for $1.99/yard. So, I'm planning on a ruffly, fluffy petticoat, and I'm super excited. I've wanted to tackle this petticoat for a while, and I'm finally getting it!
I'm also going to try and get as much done on the taffeta bustle gown as possible. I think I can at least get the basic pieces cut out, and maybe even finish the overskirt. I know I won't be able to finish everything in one weekend, especially with finals coming up and a couple of term projects needing completion, but I think I can knock out a large chunk of it!
Is it weird that I'm actually looking forward to ironing all those pleats? 'Cause I am.

I had one hell of a time trying to find suitable Romulan fabric. I tried to find something with a check type pattern, something with a geometric pattern, anything that looked similar to the screen fabrics. Nothing!


I'm thrilled with the fabric, it's going to be perfect. I'm not exactly looking forward to quilting this thing, but it will look awesome once it's all finished, so I'll put up with it. I'm also going to see about casting rubber for the first time.
Hi. I have been sort of following your blog for awhile. and am wondering if you ever finished the this costime as I am making it for my wife and had started off with the pattern you suggested.But have no idea where to go with it after a certain point
ReplyDeleteHello! Unfortunately, this still sits on my 'in-progress' pile, as I can't figure out how to make the sleeves satisfactorily. I do plan on attacking this costume again very soon, as I'm determined to get through my in-progress pile and clear out some of my unfinished past projects.
DeleteWhere are you on your uniform? Perhaps I can offer some ideas. :)
