22nd February 2012: Dat Hat The hat is slowly getting there~~
Made from a ring cardboard base and then a cereal box wrapped around and taped to the base. The cereal box has slits in the top and folded out slightly to give a curved less cylinder shape. The gaps inbetween are taped over to cover them up. Then another bit of cardboard is used (oval-ish shape) on the top and taped.
I shall be covering it~~
22nd January 2012: Da skirt belt~~ Made the skirt~~ its just a simple circle skirt with a zip on the back~
The belt is a long bit of fabric with ruffles (pinned down) on each on the sides of the long fabric with a bracelet joining in the middle front.
This is without the petticoat. With it, it will be more poofy and cool looking :3
20th January 2012: Bra and wrist cuff The bra and wrist cuffs are pretty much done~~
The bra was made by simply cuting out cicles for the booby bits sewing together adding straps and buttoned at the back (with ruffles surrounding the outsides of the bra). Its a miracle the thing stayed up!
The writ cuffs are also buttoned~
