Rarity GGG gown, but as it turned out I measured my foot wrong and they
ended up a tad too big for my small feet, but they were perfect for my
friend.<br /><br />SO, I dyed the shoes blue, added some back beads, and white ribbon. Now they are the TARDIS slippers.<br />

I gotta say that the Gods of Pattern Alignment were with me as the center front seam blends flawlesly into the pattern, as do the seams between the body and sleeves. All in all, I'm very happy about how this came out.Lumikettuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14008966574942851296noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561480689869236716.post-35641165149093555042014-08-20T20:21:00.001+03:002014-08-20T20:21:23.408+03:00Explaining the radio silenceWe are moving to a new appartment, which means that all sewing projects are on hiatus until we have settled in. (and I have located everything again).<br />
<br />
Also, my right wrist is still painful and I have had to take painkillers, but I'm hoping to get it fixed soon, so I can continue with the Gala project.<br />
<br />
Everything should kick back online next month.<br />

But now I'm on vacation for two weeks and trying to catch up with everything.<br />

So, here's fitting the petticoat and bustle on Fluttershy:<br />

Nothing much has happened with this cosplay. I still need to fit the corset properly, but I have a growing fear that I might have to make it again. I'm not happy with the quality of it and it does not fit properly around the bust. I'm still trying to save it, but I'm not sure if I can. Le sigh...... Oh, and feather's arrived for the train. These might cover 1/4th so I need to order more, but I'm happy about their quality so I know where to find more.<br />
<br />
Today the lovely Elena came to fit her Rainbow Dash dress and she's utterly gorgeus in it. The fit of the chiton does not need alterations, but I need to make the himation a tad bit longer.<br />

I opened the <a href="http://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/3183258">rainbow patterned cotton voilé</a> on Spoonflower for sale.</div>
I did not alter the colors, because I need to order more of the same fabric for my project. I might do it later.<br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>PLEASE NOTE that the orange and the red are REALLY close to each
other, mearly a few shades appart so in bad light the colors blend and
look like one shade of red.</b></span><br />

Mostly I'm happy with the fabric. Only things that bother me are a) the red is not very bright, but rather dull brick red and b) I ordered too little. So when my pay comes next month, I need to order a few more yards to actually get it trailing.<br /><br />Lumikettuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14008966574942851296noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561480689869236716.post-75713836072293009832014-06-23T20:06:00.000+03:002014-06-23T20:06:32.362+03:00Oi, it's Twilight timeJust giving an update.<br />
<br />
- Rainbow Dash's tiara has arrived.<br />
<br />
- Still waiting for my fabric from Spoonflower.<br />
<br />
- Rarity's purple dress fabric has been purchased.<br />
<br />
- Corset pattern for Rarity arrived today from Mantua Maker on Etsy.<br />
<br />
And the biggest update:<br />
<br />
<b>WE HAVE TWILIGHT SPARKLE! <i>REPEAT, WE HAVE TWILIGHT SPARKLE!</i></b><br />
<br />
Another cosplayer wants dibs into our pony party, and picked Twilight, so it's time for the designing again.

I wanted a bustle dress, but how big a bustle?<br />

I found this cuirass dress in one of my fashion history books and the pleated back reminded the pleating on Rarity's dress, so that sealed it. I wanted a fishtailed dress with a little to medium bustle. Also the apron front works for Rarity.<br />
<br />
I also like the shoulder revealing look of Empress Elizabeth of Austria's style.<br />

Also the use of jewels and pearls fits and the hairstyle is something I can use for Rarity.<br />

At first I drew the dress with sleeves, but lately I've been feeling wether or not to include them. Even thought they are in the dress Rarity wears in the show. But I will be the hostess, and I need to use my hands, so I need to figure out how to involve sleeves without losing the movement of my arms. Because that was fitted sleeves do, they restrict movement. But I will figure out something. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is the final plan. It's a little rought on the details, but it involves beadery and lace on the bodice and I thought about sitting cabochon settings on the skirt to get those big jewels. I'm also thinking of getting velvet for the details, so I get a nice textured look in the fishtail in the same way as in the blue on the first image. I have already gotten bright blue linen for the petticoat and the bustle and lovely purple for the dress. I first thought I thought about making the whole dress in velvet, but that proved to be a little too pricy. Silk was also too pricy. But I found a lovely cotton polyester that has a sating weave that makes it shine. There will be velvet in there, but in smaller quantities.</div>

It's pretty close to what I wanted with Rainbow Dash's headpiece to be, except that it's silver. Bronze or copper would have been my choices, but you get what you find. I'm still waiting for it to ship, so I'll make another post of it once it comes.<br />
<br />
And yes, I know that in the show Dash wears a laurel, but I just couldn't find a laurel that would please my eyes, so I'm taking an artistic liberty on this. And I did draw the costume plan with her wearing a stephane instead of a laurel. But it has leaves in it? So maybe it could be just said I'm bending the rule a little bit? Yes?<br />
<br />
And every girl wants to be a princess in a tiara.Lumikettuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14008966574942851296noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561480689869236716.post-37399499676833375232014-05-31T08:15:00.000+03:002014-05-31T08:15:38.687+03:00Fluttershy's petticoat and petit bustleI got around drafting and making Fluttershy's petticoat to a point where I need to try it on the cosplayer and make necessary arrangements for it to fit nicely. Since I have no plans to giving this cosplay away, I also need to make sure that it also fits me.<br />
<br />
I used a pattern I found in Period Costume for Stage and Screen: 1800-1909 by Jean Hunnisett. I got a few copies out of it because my copy is from the library, so I cannot make markings on it. I had to insert more room for the waist as the pattern was designed for someone very tall and built like a stick.<br />
<br />
I used the same book for the petit bustle. I'm doing everything in the wrong order, because I haven't made her corset yet, but I plan on drafting that this evening and trying to piece it together tomorrow. Then I can finish the petticoat.<br />

Petticoat without bustle on the left and petticoat with bustle on the right. The bustle is small and about and inch thick, but it gives the petticoat such a nice lift. If you look carefully, you can see how much fabric I had to insert into the side seam to make it fit. Material for the petticoat is cotton.Lumikettuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14008966574942851296noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561480689869236716.post-82171226946752873352014-05-29T08:21:00.000+03:002014-05-29T08:21:04.610+03:00FabricsSo, I've been spending on fabrics lately. I found a nice bright yellow cotton for Fluttershy's petticoat and I discarded the original idea of tulle, when I found gorgeus white chiffon on sale.<br />
<br />
I also used spoonflower to make the himation fabric for Rainbow Dash. Once it arrives and I review the quality, I'll open it up for sale, so everyone who wants to copy it can get it.<br />
<br />
But now, onto the canary yellow petticoat! Whee!<br />
<br />
Also, I'll be making the final draws on Rarity today so expect those to upload during the next few days.Lumikettuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14008966574942851296noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561480689869236716.post-90606231107250303662014-05-26T18:24:00.001+03:002014-05-26T18:30:10.328+03:00Finished plan: FluttershySo I finally drew the Fluttershy plans. It's not strictly one period as I couldn't find a style we were comfortable with, so it's made from two time periods.<br />

I feel that I made the yellow in the plan a little too prominent. The underskirt I planned as two layers of tulle to get that soft look on it. The overskirt will be covered in peacock feathers. I'm regretting this plan already, but it will look magnificent for our birthday girl. The bodice will be lightly boned. I just need to make a petticoat, corset and an undershirt to go under the corset. And of course the wings, as Fluttershy is a pegasus pony.<br />

Here's the inspiration I used for the design. The skirt is from early 1900's and the bodice is around 1909-10. Both are from Janet Arnold's Patterns of Fashion. Time for material hunting again! <i>Allons-y!</i><br />
<br />
Shoes for Fluttershy are the Astoria's from <a href="http://www.american-duchess.com/">American Duchess</a>. I'm waiting for them to arrive (and hope to God I got the right size).<br />

The cosplayer has sensitive skin, so I hope the linen I found is soft enough not to irritate her skin. This is also why we decided against wool. There is soft wool in existence, but linen was a safer choice.<br />
<br />
Anyhoo, I have gotten the chiton nearly finished. I ran out of thread and need to get some more.<br />
Here's piccies.<br />
<br />

<br />
The neckline is rather wide, but looks fabulous. I haven't gotten the proper girdle yet, so cotton cord is shown in the pictures. Also I think I need to think a proper way drape the sleeves to the shoulders for the sleeveless look. <br />

Backview. The draping is in the sides. Also, I had to shorten the chiton a little after the picture was taken. <br />

Another front view and detail of the collar. I kinda like the way it's draping over the bossom.<br />
<br />
That's about it until I get more supplies.<br />
<br />
I also did a few tests on the decorative border of the himation, but no pictures yet.Lumikettuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14008966574942851296noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561480689869236716.post-2880381662451711342014-05-15T19:44:00.001+03:002014-05-15T19:44:41.865+03:00I'm not dead!Just real busy with work, so I haven't managed to update anything... But I have been shopping! Materials and stuff, you know, the nitty gritty. Once they arrive, I'll make a post about it.<br />
<br />
I'm still working on this I promise!Lumikettuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14008966574942851296noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561480689869236716.post-60172266521865503222014-05-04T18:29:00.000+03:002014-05-04T18:29:25.590+03:00Finished plans: Rainbow DashSo, I got the Rainbow Dash plans ready. Probably because it's the easiest one design wise, but I'm sure I'm going to shoot myself in the hand while doing the decorative border for the himation. I will probably never learn to do this so that I don't put in amazing details that that forever to finish, am I?<br />
<br />
Oh well, to the plans.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here's the finished plan. I might have to fix the himation on better, but this is how it's going to look. I asked the cosplayers of Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash and they wanted the wings so they were added.<br />
<br />
Originally I had only thought about wool and linen for the material, but I'm not sure if the cosplayer can wear those materials. I did find a mention from Herbert Norris's book Ancient European Costume and Fashion, that silk and cotton were imported in small amounts after Alexander the Great's conquests and expeditions. There is also mention to samet being imported from which the nobles paid fabulous sums for it. So, if the cosplayer cannot wear wool or linen, I can use cotton or silk and still be period accurate. More or less. Like I could be period accurate of an ancient Grecian fashion in 2014.... How silly of me.<br />
<br />
Anyway, back to the topic.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I did two designs for the decorative border. I have to say I like the #1 better than #2. Both I based from actual designs I found in period style books and flew from there. Rainbow Dash's color sceme is repeated on the border with the addition of black in the #1. Which probably makes me like it. And why is this going to drive me nuts? To cover the entire lenght if the himation, I need to make nearly 6 metres of it. I might need to teach one of my little elves embroidery.<br />
<br />

Well, as you can see the pattern for the ionic chiton in very simple. Just a rectangle piece of clothing. Nothing much, simple as heck.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
On the himation I took a small liberty. Normally himation is a rectangle piece of clothing, but since in the design the himation is shorter on the other end and sort of trails on the floor, I had to make the lower and sloped. I still feel that I might have to make the short end even shorter. Maybe 110cm will suffice, I don't know, I need to adjust it at some point.<br />
<br />
That's it for tonight.

Cosplayers of Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash have confirmed and accepted the plans, now it's just defining the details and colors, plus hairstyle for Dash and Rarity. Fluttershy is more or less finished and waiting for fabrics.<br />
<br />
I'll try and update today or tomorrow. I've been horribly lazy lately and the allergy season is terrible. There's still not that much pollen in the air, but it's just starting here. I might need to double my medication in some point.<br />
<br />
I also made some preliminary drafts of Applejack and Twilight Sparkle. As with Pinkie Pie, they are not on the list of dresses that need to be made for the Gala, but I might someday make all ponies and wanted some preliminary plans to start with. Probably another forever project, but it's still a nice though.Lumikettuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14008966574942851296noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561480689869236716.post-45713215622349822802014-04-13T19:41:00.000+03:002014-04-13T19:41:58.354+03:00The one that was discarded (for now atleast): Pinkie Pie Grand Galloping Gala gown<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

At first Pinkie Pie was among the cosplays instead of Fluttershy, but changes happened when we couldn't find an agreement in the design of her costume. This is the doodle the cosplayer made for me:<br />

At first I thought the crinoline era of Victorian Period would be the one for Pinkie Pie. I mean, look at that floof on that dress and the bell shape. So I did some image search.<br />
<br />

<br />
Yup, there's the bell shape alright and the layering is quite there, but I just didn't get the Pinkie Pie feel. I mean Pinkie's parties are wild, colorful, full of cakes and generally just, par-<i>teys</i>. Somehow the image I got from Victorian era just didn't seem to fit. Frustrated, I flipped through my book when I saw the light in form of a Queen.<br />

Marie Antoinette! 18th century France! The parties of the Versailles! "Let them have cake!" (yes, I know Marie Antoinette never actually said it). I mean even that huge poof of hair is just perfect for Pinkie Pie. So I dug myself into the section of robe á la francaise, and lo and behold Marie Antoinette had another answer for me:<br />

I literally screetched out of delight when I turned the page to find this. I mean, this is exatly how I see Pinkies gown, it nearly even has the correct coloration. Too bad the cosplayer was not delighted about the fact that she'd stuff herself into a robe á la francaise, so when I proposed the Edwardian gown and Fluttershy, it was more to her taste than the pink floofy froufrou. Well, these things happen. I'd love to make this gown one day when I have time.<br />

I thought I'd get this done nice and easy. The period for Rainbow Dash is ancient Greece/Rome, so my first thought was to make it easy as hell. Just a plain white chiton undershirt and rainbow colored himation.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7db0XDtUlo0JwtYN2CBsqFukOE4kH1x5wTBYDZzY-HV-3kGJItygattUZcWYxXTUYlR4vfCyBtw8jUa1spVvIHNKs1X0so3dyRCcV0JDFm_syDsCMX0keVcLTZM8w_cByi0JUeucbqFU/s1600/Rainbow+Dash+004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7db0XDtUlo0JwtYN2CBsqFukOE4kH1x5wTBYDZzY-HV-3kGJItygattUZcWYxXTUYlR4vfCyBtw8jUa1spVvIHNKs1X0so3dyRCcV0JDFm_syDsCMX0keVcLTZM8w_cByi0JUeucbqFU/s1600/Rainbow+Dash+004.jpg" height="400" width="272" /></a></div>
<br />
But this plan didn't meet the acceptance of the cosplayer. She wanted something more in the lines of an actual dress. So I did a test try for an victorian bustle dress, because the drapery looked like a pony's tail.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It was a good plan, I just was not happy with it nor was the cosplayer. It was not the correct timeline for Rainbow Dash and it just didn't feel right. So our friend doodled a dress that was more on the lines of what Dash's dress would be.<br />

And since I wanted these gowns to have an actual existing garment to base on, I was happy to stumble onto this dress while doing research. It's along the general lines of the accepted doodle and more-or-less period accurate. So I made more doodles on this design.<br />

I'm still waiting confirmation on wether she wants the long rainbow train or the short.<br /><br />

<br />
<br />
Fluttershy caused my quite a lot of grief, because I had no idea to which time period I'd tie her costume. There was thought of Middle Age, Byzantine inspiration, but I wasn't sure and it didn't just <i>feel</i> right. Then I happened to come by this image:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSRdzkNC9XakZjqFVVSEsb39-XauV-f6Z4AgAhALgrxPzta7PkuWd-qIDCSLNjlOt-GZRwfJbxyomtp7J-vLdgdyw0Vkkj1vqKqakqUluDDTvwFHdjYU6P2So7FfBi_wbDzCygl3vtGKY/s1600/be011qp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSRdzkNC9XakZjqFVVSEsb39-XauV-f6Z4AgAhALgrxPzta7PkuWd-qIDCSLNjlOt-GZRwfJbxyomtp7J-vLdgdyw0Vkkj1vqKqakqUluDDTvwFHdjYU6P2So7FfBi_wbDzCygl3vtGKY/s1600/be011qp.jpg" height="320" width="269" /></a></div>
And something just clicked to place. The soft floofy look, the embroidery, the lace, the floofy trail... This was it. This is how I saw Fluttershy's gown. So I pitched the idea to the cosplayer who, after gentle persuasion, was exited about the idea.<br /><br />
I collected together images as an inspirational map, while I got myself a book about Edwardian fashion.<br />

<br />
We both adore Alphonse Mucha's art and I'm hoping that once we get the early design chosen and I can start the detailed design plans, I get to incorporate some of that adoration into this cosplay gown. If nothing else, the hair and the accessory jewelry could be from Mucha's art.<br />

Here's the first drafts of the gown. I'm still waiting for the feedback from the cosplayer on which kind of design she wants for the dress. After that I can start adding details, get the shape fixed, sampling materials and just getting the general planning together.Lumikettuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14008966574942851296noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561480689869236716.post-76956997277936843732014-04-06T18:39:00.000+03:002014-04-06T18:39:58.402+03:00Getting back to bussinessWinter is slow and practicly nothing happens in terms of sewing for me.

I found a beautiful wool/rayon blend material to make this dress. Too bad that since the fabric is rather high quality, I'm not gonna pour fake blood on it. So if I want to make the bloody version, I need to find a cheaper fabric.<br />

I promised a friend to arrange her a big birthday party. Not all the ponies will probably be present, but for now we have confirmation on Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Princess Celestia. There was talk about Pinkie Pie, and I have reference/early scetches of her costume, but then she was discarded. I might publish those aswell as soon as we start making the costumes.<br /><br />

Hand embroidered Devil’s Trap for a tsuke obi. I’m making it
reversable, but I’ve run into a problem: The other side is white, so
should I make an Angel Banishment sigil or the Anti-Possession sigil on
it?<br />
<br />
Dammit! After being so careful to get all the details correct I
managed to embroider it upside down?! Is that even possible?!Lumikettuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14008966574942851296noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561480689869236716.post-57095658457754204842013-07-14T20:57:00.000+03:002013-07-14T20:57:33.708+03:00Animecon X day 2Today we visited the photo booth at Animecon X to get good pictures taken from our costumes.

Finished Lucrezia. I was still sewing that tool belt yesterday and I wasn't sure if I could have made it, but I did. I'm not happy with the hood. It's a little too big and wrong color as I run out of light grey material and had to use a darker shade to make the hood.<br />

I literary walked off the sole of my SHOE! These are NEW! ARGH! Now I have to find new shoes for tomorrow! I've worn these shoes only three times! T.T<br />

And here are the (nearly) finished shirts for the boys. My fiancé tried his on today and Oh MY. Too bad my camera battery died before I could take a picture....<br />
<br />
Will I finish on time? I hope to finish the boys costumes as they will hang me if I don't..... Bah, I'm so slow...Lumikettuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14008966574942851296noreply@blogger.com0
