Because [info]piratess__ asked, here are some progress pictures of my Otakon costume. I thought it looked fairly good on, but then I saw the pictures. /o\ This is without all the shiny add-ons (floating rocks and stuff) that'll hopefully obscure how crappily this thing fits, but. Mrr.

I had to make my own patterns for this, which is part of the problem. The other part? The vest fastens only at that one part and has only ZIG-ZAG SEAMS. THERE IS A REASON YOU NEVER SEE THESE IN REALITY. They are IMPOSSIBLE to get to lie flat... mrr.

Also, I didn't put enough volume in the vest. Oh well.

Ignore how TERRIBLE I look XD;

Probably going to need to wear a slip or petticoat under this. The nightgown is knit... first time working with a knit. I still need to finish and add the collar and cravat... also, I need to attach the floating rocks...

I'm not sure what the problem with the seams is, since I can't see them from those pictures. It seems to look OK. And I think the added details will make a big difference.

Would you mind some suggestions?

Eliza from the game Baroque. XD It's a weird, kind of obscure game. I don't even know if /I/ really like it... o.o;

Oh, is that the dark dating-sim game you told me about?

No, that'd be Persona 3 XD

Baroque is just a trippy dungeon crawler.

did you clip the curves in your seam allowance before pressing open? That ought to help. Why did you zigzag your vest instead of straight stitch?

No, no, not zigzag STITCH. The seams literally zig-zag.

And yes, I did clip the curves. It's just my inability to draft a pattern mixed with difficult seams. XD I did manage to salvage the vest by adding a triangle panel in the back this morning. :)

It's okay! :) It's a weird style of seam, so it generally needs a picture reference. :D

Though the vest is a little scrunchy.....but cute ^_^ It's so different from what you've done in the past! I like.
