Midnight update

sorry for not getting a post up yesterday and the day before. PAX East opens in 10 hours, but I am far too tired to finish my costume right now.
As far as wear-ability, the romper is complete (just needs straps), the shoes are complete, the hair is good enough, and the socks I bought dyes close enough to the color of the costume.

I was just trying them on over the tights I was already wearing.

The actual part that will make it look like Leixia however, is not yet close to done. It is still in bits and some of those bits are not finished.

My need to do tomorrow morning: sew the last six "petals", finish flower motif on second sleeve (can you tell I was tired when I started that one?), paint last six petals after I sew them.

My should do but might not because of time: yellow inner sleeve, paint side designs on romper, sew on frogs (These style closures, not the animal.), attach actual closures to the costume

3 Days 'till my downfall

So because of the snow, my class was cancelled today so I made tons of progress.

I now have all the materials I need and drafted and cut out all my pieces. I dyed the blue parts so we'll see how that turns out tomorrow.

I need to leave the pieces to dry over night, but I need to take them out of the tub before the cleaning lady comes around tomorrow.

I also bought some hair extensions and have made myself a new set of false bangs.

I can't take my own picture with my camera, so here's a crappy webcam pic.

So I've got what, 4 days to PAX

I've finally moved back into college, which will be good for my productivity.

So yes, I have 90% of the materials I need for Leixia. I'm going fabric shopping tomorrow for blue fabric in case I can't dye my white fabric. 
And I bought today dye, a bucket, knee highs to dye, and some beads for Leixia's pendant.

don't look at me like that. that was the cheapest bucket I could find.
