So I got tan fabric for the main part of the dress in the Fashion District of downtown LA a couple months ago, and made the dress, but WOW I forgot to leave some extra room on the sides for my chest, so it's super tight. I really should redo the zipper on the side too, because it's so long it makes the dress ride up so it looks shorter than it actually is, and really redo the collar because it's too short. =X and my hair is fail. I used my real hair, and tied a super long ponytail extension I got to my ponytail. It worked, but I didn't have a straightener for my hair in the front and yeah...I need to fix the boots up, the little silver squares I taped to my boots FAILED and died and fell off. =X next time I wear Tsubaki shall be a better time...

Anyway, the striped armwarmers are actually cut up socks from sockdreams.com because I've seen a lot of Tsubakis with stripes that are too thin...

White armwarmers are white soft fuzzy fabric from hancock fabrics.

Belts done in gray pleather with silver studs on them. I've been debating whether or not to paint them gray to match the pleather...
