These are going to kill me

I purchased a few items for sewing/cosplay today:

• More tailor's chalk: my marking implements are constantly growing legs and walking away, so I can never have enough of them.
• Bias tape for the exterior of Lulu, now I can actually continue on the costume.
• Fray check, a helpful item for installing eyelets and any number of other activities.
• A pattern, for making Arwen's coronation dress.
• Another pink wig: the one I have is too thin, so I'll be combining them.
• And last, but not least, a pair of boots for Quorra- which I will break my neck while wearing.

Complete with advertisement XD

I have never worn stilettos before. The tallest heel I have is a wedge and is maybe, maybe 3 inches. With my extreme lack of coordination I have never been prone to wearing anything very tall, and the Morton's Neuroma just makes wearing heels a literal pain, so this is going to be very entertaining...

There will be some added stability in the shoes when I mod out the sole to be a wedge, but not much. There will undoubtedly be a decent amount of wearing them around the house in an attempt to look normal when I go out.

Other adjustments will include: stiffening them up a bit as to prevent that bagging about the shins; cutting the top to form the right shape (hence why one of them is turned up); adding EL tape (obviously); and cutting out the smaller circles on the side/back.

Now changing gears, Lulu is coming along splendidly. I was at a bit of a standstill on the corset, since the shell must have the bias tape sewn on to it before I could continue. With this in hand I can get a move on it. Also, the pattern will be adjusted again, because I have no desire to wait around for a busk to arrive. My attempts to locate one somewhere within the valley have come to nothing, so we'll just be using boning.

I hoping to have Lulu finished by the end of this next week so I can get her to Sil with enough time for her to add the finishing touches. This may not happen though, because I'm working six days this next week: something that the wallet likes, but the schedule does not. Bleh. We'll play it by ear, I guess. ;)
