My First PTR

[Littleprincess2010]

I can not find a premade one that will fit me. I have a dress similar to hers that I am hoping to make some alterations on.

There is still time!! A few alterations to a dress you already have shouldn't take too much time, do you have another seamstress that can help you with it?

my sil said she can help. She knkows how to sew a little. She was going to try to make the dress but I ahve to be the same size as the pattern. That is not going to happen. We will see what we come up with.

Don't worry, a few adjustments will give it some shape and you can adjust it how you want to, so it'll be a super unique dress!!

I hope so. I am going to make some crinoline to go under. I think it needs that and it might make a world of difference right now it just hangs.

I did that with my Vampire costume last year and it really does make a difference.

I just looked up the costume online, Im thinking its this one? http://www.starcostumes.com/items/Princess-Peach-Plus-Deluxe-Adult-Costume.aspx

Its an awesome costume and I totally think that some crinoline to "poof" the bottom half will make it look great!!

 

[PrincessMaleficent]

No actually those are a little small on me and I like to be comfy. I also like the old school look of peach. I went on ebay and bought a pink dress the top is light then fades into a darker pink. I think the crinoline and a sash will make it look correct. I also need to add the jewel. I am going to use felt for that. I will have a picture up as soon as I like me in the dress.

I love homemade costumes!! We're doing homemade ones this year too, I think they look more authentic then the cheap, really thin fabric ones you can buy at walmart and stuff. Looking forward to seeing the costume!!

If I really knew how to sew and had room I would have mae it myself. I was trying to get a handmade one but everyone I know flaked on me. So know I left with what little talent I have and at the mercy of my neighbor who said she would help with what she could.

Im not very good at machine sewing either, hand sewing I can do, but it takes eons to get it done!! Crossing my fingers that your neighbour pulls through!!

 

[PrincessMaleficent]

I am decent at hand sewing. I know how to use a machine and it would be faster then doing it all by hand. I wish my two jobs would not get in the way of my costume. I guess I am have to cancel on saturday so I can work on my dress.

 

[PrincessMaleficent]

SO I got some crinoline and it looked horrible with the dress. Told my step mom since her boss was going to make my dress originally. Well her and my step sister are going to make my dress! Wooooooooohoooooo. I am so excited. I get to pick it up next saturday. Hoping for good things!

Also we ahve one more person coming with us. He will be a mushroom.
