What is wrong with me, you ask? I have no idea. The reason I was finally persuaded to make this outfit is however, is the fact that I will be making it in collaboration with my mother. This means that we plan everything out together (which eliminates the dumb mistakes I usually make), then she'll pattern while I work on schoolwork, and then we'll sit down and make it all happen. For example, yesterday we worked a lot on the train/cape. In the morning we planned it out before I went to marching band, in the afternoon I worked on homework while she taped hundreds of pieces of newspaper together until they were the size of the fabric that we had bought, then we laid out where all the snowflakes would go and made a lot of the train/cape. It was a lot easier than just me doing everything but after this project I will be going back to that method (as I do enjoy being able to say that I made the entire cosplay).
I am also helping Ana-tama through her Anna (as she was originally going to be the Arya to my Daenerys, her plans changed to Frozen as well) and Jade cosplays right now. She's made a lot more progress than I have (but of course she's had my help sooooooo....) and now has a Jade skirt, part of her Jade shirt, the fabric for her jade hood, and materials for an awesome prop. For Anna she has cut out all of the skirt fabric, has materials for the bodice, and has a wig (to be styled). I have started the train/cape, ordered fabric for my dress, bought (literally) thousands of sequins (from some place in Europe), and ordered a wig (which has unfortunately been backordered as apparently everyone wants an Elsa wig for Halloween--it should come in in time so hopefully it will). That's about all for now--wish me luck! MadDog out!
