I dyed and styled an old blonde wig; I ended up using left over dye from my Rydia wig. (See, it pays to keep useless stuff for years.) It has a batting-stuffed pillow sewn on top that I combed the hair over to achieve the bouffant. I patterned and embroidered the detailed linings and armbands of our jackets and shorts, while limebarb sewed up the jackets and shorts themselves. We thought this would be a one day project, but they ended up taking much too long because of all the embroidery. Once again, another sleepless night before the con, but it was worth it!
