7th February 2019: Whoops I forgot to post progress here, so here's one WIP shot just after I finished most of the costume for documentary purposes.



This was my first time working with real leather to this extent, I think. The gloves and collar parts were real leather and I think the investment really paid off!



As for the dress... I topstitched all the seams on it by hand because I thought that'd look more correct. I had a lot of trouble attaching the collar to the dress for some reason, I initially wanted to topstitch the leather parts was well but it was too thick. Alas.



Still.... I'm pretty happy with this outfit otherwise! Just need to do the embroidery on the sleeves because I ran out of time to do it before fanfest.
