Yeah, I hope so. A few of my close friends had financial troubles and couldn't go, so I won't enjoy it as much as I usually do. But i'm still going to have fun.

Beloved Enabler

Sorry I forgot to respond sweatdrop

No worries. Yeah, I went. I suppose I had a good time. Not nearly as much fun if all my friends can't go.

Beloved Enabler

Any pictures of the final outfit? 4laugh

No! I told my friend to take a picture of it before I changed and went to the rave and his phone died right as he took the picture.

Yeah it's a shame. Maybe next time.

Any idea what you have to do to make your corset?

Beloved Enabler

I found a rather easy way to do it. It involves wrapping myself in duct tape blaugh

Then cutting that into a template. Add for seam allowances. Add boning. Shouldn't be too bad

It's just that I want to turn it into a dress... and that's the part that is stumping me. I should do more research on it, but my brain is tired.

What I am going to have to do for the bodice is have three layers, the outer pretty layer, the middle support layer, and then the inner soft layer so the dress doesn't irritate my skin. Which means that I'll need two layers for the skirt.

So I was thinking of doing a floating inner layer, connecting it to the other layers via the top and back of the corset and then the bottom of the skirt.

duct tape sounds dangerous if you wrap it around your whole body, you have someone to help you i hope xD

Sounds like you have the process down, hopefully the actual work goes well.

Beloved Enabler

Well, it will just be the torso.
But, yes, I am hoping to have someone help me, or cutting it straight down the back will be impossible!

I hope my plan works out D:
I'm probably going to fail miserably lmao rofl

Ohhhh, I dunno, being wrapped in duct tape could be fun.

Well it'll be a learning experience regardless, right?

Beloved Enabler

Yes, that's why I am doing the corset that way lol


Exactly!
My first one is a test. My ultimate goal is to get good enough to make my own wedding dress.
Because I refuse to pay thousands of dollars for a white dress I'll wear once. -end rant-

Ohhhh.

You're getting married? CONGRATS!

Beloved Enabler

Well, right now it is a topic of discussion between myself and my partner. Right now we are both too poor rofl but it is definitely something we are putting A LOT of thought into.

So yeah... wedding dress ideas are flowing through my head. Especially when they are on the cheap side blaugh
