Sex all over the stage and costuming...

Ah, Matthew Bourne productions. There is no bad here. Me and wiccachik educated megolas and jamjar in the ways of Brick Shithouse appreciation.

( The Car Man )

Spent sunday afternoon making a new version of the Tink costume. ...cannot quite believe it's been a good few years since I made the first one. Which, er, was definitely misguided since the base pattern I used was a dress rather'n a corset. Oh well. Got the corset part done, just got to make the skirt out of leaf shapes. Then decide whether I'm going to cover the corset in leaves as well. (making the recent-ish film version, not the Disney) It's one of those cases that occasionally you really have to admit to yourself exactly which fairytale character you most resemble....

Also have to sew the pirate shirt. And then, er, figure out what I'm going to do about the rest of the costume. I had been contemplating finally getting round to doing the underwear dress from PotC #1, but there's an ever-so-slight time constraint with that one. Unless I can come up with something easy that's not generic pirate, but hopes low.

Tink finished

And it turns out that simplicity lie when they talk breast measurements. I had to add sort-of straps to make sure the thing would stay up since it's not perfectly fitted.

though you know how I said I resemble Tinkerbell in the previous post? Put finished costume on. It took me less than two seconds to start fuming and pouting and doing the various gestures. Suspect a large amount of people at con will also be resisting urge to pat me on the head when I do this.

:ponders if can get away with this for pirate night, since... er... I'm sure there'll be a Captain Hook I can latch onto....
