CtCon Crunch Day Three

The saga of running out of time! Yay! Anyways today I finished my boots other than potentially adding in snaps to snap on to my overalls if they can't hold their own wait when the armor has dried on. I also did I few modifications on the bodice but it's not fully complete yet as I'm still working out the kinks in how I am going to take it on and off my body. I didn't get the extra armor that goes on the overalls doen but I did finish everything else to do with the overalls so that's good. Bt I really didn't make any progress on the chest piece at all. Also, as the con is in two days, I've made the decision to just not make the naginata. I will for the next con I wear this cosplay at but for now it is just too much I cannot handle making it as well. Tomorrow I am busy most of the day but in the evening finishing the chest piece and the bodice are the most important things. Next is adding the extra armor to the overalls (and some snaps) and then comes the bandeau. I also must get the wig styled. If I'm not forgetting anything that's it. I hope it all gets done. We'll find out when I post next if some of those tasks are carrying over into Thursday though. For now, enjoy some pictures of each step in my boot-making process and a pic of the inside of my bodice. I hope your cosplay endeavors are better than mine. MadDog out!

My base shoes.

Cut off some straps.

Added a cover and grommets to lace up the back.

Added details. (Now I'm waiting for the armor to dry but then I will get a pic of that too.)
