Some small success

[clevermanka]

Last night I carefully packed up all the bodice supplies in a tidy plastic bin and closed it. That can wait until the weekend, thank Maude. With that out of my way, I could finally wade through the crap in my sewing room to locate the half-finished Bellydance costume #2. Managed to get not quite as much done as I'd hoped, but still a decent amount. Finished the belt entirely, completed embellishment on the sleeves, and got the skirt cut for BD costume #1. Realized that I used the fabric I was going to use for the BD costume #2 for the whore skirt. Oops. Must pick up something else now. Good thing I still have a JoAnn's coupon.

So, revised to-do list:
Whore costumes

Start all over on bodices from square one, but with assistance

Make or purchase pouch/purse

Purchase belt and fan
Dance costumes

Piece together and line vest for costume #2

Hem skirt for costume #1

Purchase and cover bra for costume #1

Skirt for costume #2 (I can always use an old skirt if I run out of time, though)

My goodness but things are looking so much more manageable! I might even go crazy and make myself a second chemise for the whore costume. Last night while digging through dance costume fabrics I found a possible contender for a lovely tan chemise with tone-on-tone embroidery. Hmmmmm....

I'm quite amused by the fact that 0verdrive really really likes BD costume #2. To the point that he's commented on it (unprovoked) more than twice. It's very much against type for me: gray, blue and silver when I'm pretty much a black, red, and gold girl.
