I spent six hours yesterday day steaming and tacking tutus. Sometimes costuming isn’t making glorious gowns, sometimes it’s gossiping with the studio staff and giving careful maintenance to the little things. Pretty happy with the before and afters!!!

Now the wings. THE WINGS. I’m going big and making each side skirt a tambour embroidered and beaded panel - pattern below! I’ve sure made a decision that will eat my free time but it’s going to be *so pretty*

IT BEGINS. my biggest project in a *long time*. @/ motleyfae did an AMAZING job with the hyper specific character concept I pitched. I’m so excited to start! Below will be a break down of the components of the project, and this thread will be updated as it progresses!!

I made this when I was…. 16 maybe? A precursor of things to come, lol.
