This weekend I was able to finally get some work done on my Evil Queen cosplay!
Now, maybe it won't seem like work to you guys, but it really is!
On Friday, I was able to make a muslin of the bodice part of this cosplay. Before I start using the final fabric for any cosplay, I always look through all aspects of the pattern to see if there are any parts that seem super difficult. And this type of bodice was one I have never done before! So before using the 80$ fabric, I used the 4$ a yard muslin, that way if it turns out horribly I can just try again! With no hours of tears because I ruined the final fabric!
(Front goodness. Kind of hard to see, but there's a deep v-neck, that will have a very dramatic collar attached to it.)
(Back goodness, that isn't as fun. To problem solve some of the fit issues, I may add some side or back darts!)
I am really glad actually that I did the muslin first, because the fit came out really weirdly. At first, I thought maybe I had mis-measured and cut the wrong size out. But after remeasuring I saw I didn't. SO I'm just freaking out as to why this isn't working. Then I realized that I made my seam allowance way too small! (easy fix) so I went back and fixed it! Whew!!
It is still a little to loose at the waste, which is odd because the patter is designed to be tight fighting, so I will have to fiddle around with it more to make it more fitting.
BUT SEE! This is why we do a muslin first!!
This week I am getting my wisdom teeth removed :( So I am not sure when my next update will be, I am shooting for next Sunday. But stay tuned and may the odds be ever in your favor!
