Progress Update - Velma

Alrighty then!

I ordered my other accessories for Velma--the wig, the glasses, the socks, and the shoes; Mom's working on the skirt and I'm working on the sweater.

In fact, I'm about 5.5" into the front, above the ribbing (that leaves 8.5" left til the decrease).  I'm fairly confident I can finish this thing in the next two weeks and yes, pictures will be posted.

I also purchased a lovely purple dress as the base of Daphne's costume.  It needs...work.  A lot of work.  In fact, it's a W22.  I wear a regular 12...or 10...depends on the style and brand.

UPDATE
Naturally, as I make my blog post, my Mum called me.  She wanted to let me know that she finished the costumes and would be shipping them out tomorrow.  I paused and said, "Costumes?  You mean the Velma skirt?"

"...and the Daphne dress..."

<silence> "You mean the one you told me you didn't have time to make??"

"Yeah... I found the material and a pattern and decided to just do it.  I was pretty simple."

<SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!>

So!!  I just need to finish my sweater and make sure the long-distance tailoring fits and I'm golden!!  This gives me hope and great incentive to finish this darn sweater.  And, as mom said, the components of the Velma costume will be worn by me again and again.  I like orange...just not at the moment....
