i know im LATE..

i swear this HALLOWEEN was going to be hard since i had so many costumes to make. i started stressing out, i got tired easily but i kept pushing myself for the 1 week span that i had until vegas. BUT there were last minute changes that made me just keep my mouth shut. i went my separate way and made a costume with in 3 HOURS..

at first we were suppose to be the "sailor scouts" [all from the cartoon or should i say anime "sailor moon"] and this is how my work had started:

it started off with the bows:

then it was those complicated PLEATS! the sewing then ironing then pinning then adding the elastic..oh boy it was a struggle:

and with the elastic, heres the finishing product:

the upper area was a bit complicated due to the "sailor fuku" that i had to put together, i had to get everyones measurements all over again and i drew it out to help me better:

after sewing in the white ribbon onto the "sailor fuku" it was all put together:

FRONT:

THE BACK:

the OTHERS:

althought we didnt use these costumes..i had a lot of fun making them =]

after making the decision that we werent going to be sailor moon...we had to keep our options open and make every thing easier since we only had 2 days until our departure. since it was my day off, i did something very last minute.

no i wasnt POCAHONTAS nor was i SACAGEWEA..LOLR
