OMG Finished!
Aug. 30th, 2014 11:11 pm( My outfit is done! )
I stayed up until 530 am thursday to Friday working on the collar, finished the collar by 6pm Friday (well I say finished, I mean enough to wear, but it could use some more beads and tweaking, some other time), worked a bit on the skirt until like 1130 and then crashed, woke up at 430 to work on the skirt but was not finished in time to wear it in the parade on account of needing to do a lot of hemming and edging with bias tape. Oh I also burned a hole in the front of the skirt when I set the iron too high, but it's not too too noticeable I suppose. I marched as Femme Eleven (with my less-than-ideal vest) in the parade which was fun but really hot and also killed my feet. Also met another Nefertiti! And we swapped costume/construction stories.
Got back to the hotel room, got lunch and finally worked out the folds in the front of the skirt. I didn't get to put any crinkle edge layer on my cape or skirt but I wasn't sure I would even get it done at all so this is a win :) Oh except my shoes looked good but were killing my feet by about 1/2 hour in. So that was a lot of painful shoes in one day. My feet still hurt, and I was hobbling.
We did not make it in time for the Brittrack costume panel though, which was disappointing. But I got lots of compliments around the con. Ah I should write more about the day but I am exhausted.
