Firstly apologies for missing this Tuesdays post. The reasons were (sadly) not costume related so I will not regale you with the ins and outs here. I did think you would like to see one of my new stretch tutus in progress. We are close to finishing this one now: sewn, tacked and finishing the decorations… And it is now I see it needs more. It is close, the colours and designs look beautiful but it just doesn’t feel finished. The skirt definitely isn’t as that needs the sequins on the flowers and the gold crystals but the top definitely is… Well was.
I have decided what it needs are some more, different, smaller purple/cerise flowers and am planning to make them out of small bunches of stones so the crystal chart is out again. Hopefully this is the right call but we will wait and see!
Until then here are some progress pictures!
- Arranging and pinning the back of the skirt
- Arranging and pinning the front of the skirt
- The “finished” front
- Picking more crystals
