CoCo Part II

July 29, 2018July 29, 2018by notanothercostumingblogLeave a Comment on CoCo Part II

Money was spent. I paid for early bird Marketplace entry and ran into some friends in line. They've done this before and instructed me that we would be headed straight for Mela, and it would be nuts as, and I quote, "everyone bumrushes Mela." I had no clue what that meant but I followed them [...]

COCO LOSERS

July 27, 2018by notanothercostumingblogLeave a Comment on COCO LOSERS

It's here! I'm reclining on a king bed at the Woodland Hills Marriott in LA which is currently full of fantastically dressed ladies. I flew in yesterday and proceeded to have a major freak-out. I am not good at groups, guys! And costuming royalty is here-- I might've freaked out when I walked past Merja [...]

We're at a week till I leave for Costume College.... And I've spent the last week with a fever up to 103° and a super helpful ER diagnosis of "well, we know it's not bacterial meningitis" Soooo that pink dress? Is not happening. The lace oversleeves are still not sewn on, there is no skirt, [...]

The last week has been a little unusual.... there's been a lot of stress at work and I took on a ridiculous project with, typically, too little time. I (predictably) didn't get finished pictures but here are some snaps-- you'll get the ideaThankfully he liked the gift!I also discovered the Cosplanner app which is basically [...]

Flower fairy robe a’la francaise

March 18, 2018by notanothercostumingblog1 Comment on Flower fairy robe a’la francaise

I have 100% accepted that this dress is a pretty pretty princess fantasy and not AT ALL accurate to the 18th century. I don't care, I think it will be lovely. I'm trying this new thing where I keep a costuming journal, so here's the plan: The stomacher/petticoat is a subtle pale blue-grey cotton shirting [...]

I’m back-back-back again!

February 13, 2018by notanothercostumingblogLeave a Comment on I’m back-back-back again!

I know, I vanished for a second there.... but I'm back! The main reason I haven't been writing is pretty simple-- I haven't been crafting.  I had a pretty emotionally draining week and just took a while to nap and read a lot and wait for the urge to return to me.  It's back now, [...]

Why am I like this

Don't tell my dad... But I'm probably going to Costume College this year. Thanks to my mom for helping me take on the expenses! When a super friendly trio of local costumers talked me into this at the shop on Friday, I had two objections: 1) money (solved by my mom) and 2) I'm completely [...]
