A is for 'About' and 'Already done'

This will be a blog about my costuming journey. Specifically, my efforts to make a really nice Rapunzel costume from Disney's 'Tangled'. I will share my progress and colorful anecdotes about my distractions along the way.

So here is the costume:

Lots of purple satin. LOTS of details. I won't talk about them all now because I need stuff to blog about later for the A-Z challenge! My deadline is Dragon Con 2011, Labor Day weekend in Atlanta, GA. I've already been working hard on my costume since the beginning of the year. Here is what I have Already done:

So far I have: Most of the body of the skirt, and a test bustier.

Still to go:

• Center panel for the skirt (brocade)
• Real bustier (lavender brocade)
• Petticoat
• Undershirt
• Sleeves (with ribbon)
• Lace trim
• Embroidery (lots)

Like I said, lots more work. One step at a time!
