In which I put it on

galadhirI made a much better attempt at putting the blue outfit on. There were some alarming stitch-popping noises as I pulled the pre-fastened bra over my hips, but it fits, the sleeves do not impede my movement and it looks pretty good. The white mesh over the stomach really makes me feel better about the whole thing.
I think there need to be more hooks and eyes. But it works, and by the end of June it should be a bit more comfortable, and I think I will be happy to stand up in front of an audience in it:

Date: 2026-05-20 08:30 am (UTC)Thank you! Yes, it's a relief that it's actually okay after I put all that work in. Next step is to actually dance in it, prior to the performance, and check that it's all okay then. But I'm very happy with it as of now :)

Date: 2026-05-21 02:08 pm (UTC)LOL! Thank you :) I'm contemplating buying some of that facelift tape to get the face on track with the rest of me. I should really be practicing the dance instead!

Date: 2026-05-21 02:09 pm (UTC)Thank you! Yes, and I even had beads in that exact turquoise blue which I've had in the house forever, so it was very cheap to make.
WOW!

Your sewing skills are excellent! The whole outfit rocks, and I also feel better with the white mesh.

Date: 2026-05-27 05:06 pm (UTC)Thank you! I'm very pleased with it. I like the fact that once the bra has the eyes sewn on it, you can make lots of different colours of mesh to hook onto it, if you wanted to wear a different coloured skirt with it. (The mesh was one of the easiest things to make.)
