So yesterday I wrote about the skirt I wanted to make- "I don't really have high hopes"
Apparently these were magic words, because my skirt turned out wonderfully without any hassle! I had a much more difficult time making the red linen skirt. This one didn't turn out 100%, only because I didn't/couldn't top stitch the edges of the vinyl ruffles... I took a stab at that, failed, and decided it wasn't worth the trouble. I also think I should have ruffled the tulle separately from the vinyl so it'd be more poofy. This is a skirt for clubbing though, not for tea, so I think it is ok if it's not totally perfect~
I realize it may not look too impressive, but guys, I fucking ruffled vinyl on the serger!!! I really did not think that would work... Now I just have to make a top and some bows to go with it~
*happy dance*

Maaan, I never got pics of any of my Dragon*Con outfits, I particularly wanted a few of this outfit but forgot to take any to show off~ I made this to wear to the lolita's tea party at the Ritz, I decided to wear it again this week just because~
( 3 pics~ )
I made the hat, the vest, and the skirt with some fabric I found at the thrift store... I think it was about 8 yards for $5! Awesome <3 The blouse and shoes were also thrifted~ Much love for the thrift stores over here. I made a little handbag to go with it a well this week:
The print is really not my usual style, but who cares, I thought it was cute enough for a lolita coordination. Next week I'm going to work on a set for Abbie Kun with this fabric <3 Then we can be cross-country 'twins' XD Hehe.

Woooo Halloween is over! *is dead* I was up far too late this morning and awake too early ^^ Oh well. Maybe I'll take a nap later before Weasel's party!

Oh, and b/c so many people asked, "What does a giraffe sound like?"
Go to 1:50 and watch~

normal is not a big fan of leg warmers. He laughs at me whenever I wear them with an outfit >.> But we found some he approves of:
Button Up Leg Warmers from SockDreams.com
Yay, they restocked finally! <3 However at 18$ a pair, I'd feel better just reclaiming a sweater and making my own ^^ One day. When I am less lazy, heh. Actually I have just been waiting to find 'the right sweater', who knows when that will happen~
