I have complete construction of the Unicorn Costume so it's time for some post-mortem style stuff.
Surcoat/Gwahzee Coat
I really liked the clasps but they were expensive.
Pants
The pattern I used was clearly for much stretchier fabric than my choice. I had to re-draft the pattern to make it fit but now it does! It's very comfy but I did notice that the fabric is a bit more see-through than expected. Oops! So I bought some modesty shorts/shapewear to help. But the leg ruffles are amazing!
Armlets
Last week, I was so done with sewing I just wanted to purchase pre-made armlets. But they were too expensive. Once I rested and got back into the sewing mood, I was able to slap some of these together with chiffon and stretch velvet. I may need to make them a bit smaller but they work!
Crop Top
The opening of the coat is usually meant for a bra top. But since I went with a halter top to cover myself more, I run into an interesting problem. Skin gaps. The crochet top kind of makes a triangle shape that's narrow at top but wide at the bottom. But the coat opening is rectanglar. So I have some odd areas of uncovered skin between the should strap of the halter top and the shoulder of the surcoat.
I may actually just wear a lace bra or modify a crop top.
Belt
I had gotten some silver lace pieces and sewed them to scrap stretch velvet and chiffon. It's a bit untidy but that means I can manipulate it a bit more.
