Okay! So far I have all the fabric I need! Corset is almost done (minus boning), hoop skirt is in construction (then boning is needed), and then I can start on the dress itself! I have a cape pattern that I bought for $2, I <3 Sales at Hancocks. But, even the small fits my 5'8", 250lbs BF. So, need to scale it down. Now, whether or not I'll acutally make it is up to my situation closer to con. It's not necessary as of this moment. Still looking for some med-large accessory pins to attach my roses to. Think I might search around the internets tonight.

Goal: to have corset and hoop skirt done before I go back to school at the end of August and loose all costuming time to papers and exams.
