Hey I’m costuming this show!

[Wayfaring Seamstress @WayfaringSeams]

Love it when I get work with super bold fabrics. This is going to make a very intense waistcoat, but hey, it’s Oscar Wilde 😊 https://t.co/aqkjt3RS6K

Nevermind I slept on it and figured out a realistic solution

[Wayfaring Seamstress @WayfaringSeams]

After hours staring at alternatives, patterns, fabric, and grumbling to myself: fuck it I’m just gonna replicate the dress.

[Wayfaring Seamstress @WayfaringSeams]

Furiously googling the historical accuracy of straw trilby hats in line at a thrift stores is peak costumer life.

While I’m a very small store, I’m still participating in this very important strike.

This is what I was dealing with here. These jeans would have been too long on Tall Girl

[Wayfaring Seamstress @WayfaringSeams]

I hemmed a pair of jeans for the first time in my life today. This probably seems odd, especially looking all the sewing I HAVE done, and all the costume fitting I do for theater, but I just never came up.

[Wayfaring Seamstress @WayfaringSeams]

But when I, at a full 5’10”, get sent what I can only assume were factory error jeans in the mail that are a solid FOUR INCHES too long, a new opportunity finally presented itself. Yay learning opportunities!

I'd be lying if I said Aurora's dress wasn't my favorite, or that Phillip sleeves didn't make me giddy. @Disney #SleepingBeauty is such a aesthetically movie, and these #costumedesign were my favorites to put together. #cosplayphotography #disneyprincess

My laptop situation is resolved, and I'm back to uploading! I had lot of fun coming up with really unique designs based one French court fashion for #BeautyAndTheBeast These were definitely the most difficult costumes to make and I'd love to revisit this era of clothing design.

I actually met @NekoNamiCosplay when she was dressed as Jasmine many years ago, so getting to work with her to create an @disneyaladdin that was based on Indian fashion was a joy. She made #Jasmine and I made #aladdin worn here by @marklykkos #cosplay #disney #cosplayphotography

These two are some of the most beautiful people I know. Rapunzel designed her own costume, and she did a breathtaking job, and my Flynn was the perfect handsome rogue. The two of them have great chemistry and are so much fun to be around. #disney #tangled #rapunzel #flynnrider
