Wooo! Lookit the skirt!
(Ignore the messy room)

Now some lace around the edges, and I'm also considering doing some more interesting ruffly things before adding a purse handle to give it a more steampunky edge ;)

Yes, it's taken me this long to get going on my costume again. I have pictures now. Skirt's on its way to being awesome, still need to modify the top. And...uh oh...I don't have shoes yet! *rush delivery!!!!*

My pile of lace for the bottom of the skirt:

This is the skirt so far. I took a pattern and 'halfed' the pieces so that I could get the alternating look here. Elastic in the top, obviously. The hem is going to be all lace, including some of the lace I put on the sleeves.

Ah, and here's a matching necklace I made with all the doo-dads I bought at various craft stores :)

Whew! It's been a while...but it's october and this needs to get done by the 31st :P

I bought a nice little bodice thing that I think I love, and I'm going to use that instead of making my own and focus instead on the skirt (starting now.) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130330334946&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Skirt time! So much fabric everywhere!
