I'm falling behind on trying to put up a post per show... sometimes I really have my head down and I'm just plowing forward. Last weekend I did a re-furb (meaning I had to do over) on a fantasy costume I designed last summer. In the original design I had a sequined top with a sheer green overlay as the "Carrot top" but unfortunately sequins are hard to maintain and they tend to eat fabrics in touch with them... This company needed something Very Sturdy.
Meet Spandex... plain boring spandex... that I cut up, overlocked, dyed and rearranged...
...until it actually looks interesting. I am thrilled beyond words with the outcome!
Some days you get done with a costume and think "wow, I actually know what I'm doing". Which may or may not be true, but in show biz it's important to make believe you know what you're doing, so I'm rolling with it.
