ok, i want to learn how to do ruffels without the eastic part of the clothing. i saw it somewhere. zoe jakes had it once and this girl in my dance class has something similar.

its close to what rachel brice has, pants with the garter thing. i want one for a cosplay i'm pulling off with a friend.

Pretty much all of my costumes are at least 50% made by myself.

If anyone wants, I have 1 simple way to make a circle skirt...and another sort of simple way to make one...just more labor intensive.

I use biki-tops or bras as bases for all my coin-bra stuff, and do a criss cross tie on them. I can also explain if anyone wants.
