So, layers two and three are pinned.
I think I may invest in a stupid number of safety pins -- provided I can *find* a stupid number of safety pins (suggestions for shops that would carry these? The small kind?) -- and, rather than sewing the pleats into place for this Friday, I will simply pin everything.
Then it's secure, and more-or-less non-dangerous, and I'll only have a few bits to stitch instead of TONNES.
I *like* having a big, flouncy skirt. It's *great* for dancing (and I think I could probably get a couple of different costumes - of various types - out of this thing. Stuff for belly dance, but also I could probably swing some sort of Moulin Rouge cancan dancer creature out of it, too. Just add corsetry and a spiffy pair of shoes and stockings, and I'm set. ;-)
Things to do/get:
- 600 safety pins
- 2 snakes that can be turned into bracelets
- Make crown-like object w/ panther afixed there-to (not sure how I'll swing that one)
- Make "emergency bra" -- something beige and fairly ignorable so that the bouncers at Barrymores don't freak out at me. (Oh, well... better safe than kicked out of the party, right?)
- Make apron thing (with fringe -- that'll take about, oh, two hours? Maybe?)
- Pin (or re-pin) six layers of skirt-ruffles to base.
- Figure out what to do with my hair.
Oh, yeah. And go to work every day this week. :-P
Wish me luck, folks! :-)
