Your robot reminds me of you. You tell it to turn it stops. You tell it to stop it turns. You ask it to take out the garbage it watches reruns of Firefly.

ooh, very nice. Great prices. And some have the "buy it now" option.

Now, here's the thing. Don't you need a choli and a petticoat and all the other things to wear under the saree? It gets complicated. I need the whole outfit laid out for me.

I finished the grommits on one of Mai's front corset panels this morning. Only the other one to finish and then I am DONE DONE DONE.

you usually need a blouse (most sarees come with a 'blouse peice' attatched - if they don't, any top that goes will do, or i can find you another site that sells them) and a skirt.

she sells skirts for 2.99, but if you have a long drawstring waist skirt (i.e. one with an adjustable non-stretch waistband) then thats fine.

and then its just your saree (and underwear of course!)

My mum taught me how to drape them when i was a kid, and its a bit hard to explain, but if you get one i'll try and do diagrams or something.

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Multifab-Online - these are a bit more expensive, but i'd be very tempted, especailly as they have a service where they make the blouse and skirt for you.

hmm, this site does make the skirts and tops for you. Not bad prices, either, really.

Lemme think about it.

Here's a question for you: if I decided I wanted one, could I have it mailed to you, since if I ship it to the US, it'll cost even more.

You need something to tuck the pleating into, either a belty kind of thing or the petticoat/underskirt. Mind, you could just go as Inara in the sponge bathing scene and skip the choli. (;
There are many ways to drape a sari, regional styles and variations, but they all look beautiful and quite elegant.
I heard somewhere that pink is the rough equivalent in India for our use of navy blue. Pink sari = navy suit?

I am freaking a bit about my Andy costume. The low tops and the shirt should be so easy to find, but does anyone know where I can find a collar like choker, preferably psuedo-leather? I did not notice he was wearing a collar until that damn action figure debuted at Comic Con...

I hope this is allowed since it is costumey...

no such thing as not allowed (except of course, trolls and toilet humor)

ok, looked on ebay for you, but they're all big evil studded things, so a general google later and ***dodgy site alert! dodgy site alert****

a basic black leather collar - http://www.dimout.com/leather-choker.html

actually, I had a semi-brilliant idea late last night when I couldn't sleep.

I want a saree, I'm making mai's costume. I'm thinking maybe asking Mai to buy my sari. So, if I have her order it, would it be okay to have her send it to you?

I haven't run this by her yet. It would mean me making an actual decision on a sari. They're all so very pretty pretty pretty. And I want the custom choli/skirt thingy, too.

I have to back and look at them all now I'm on a computer that lets me see colours proper-like.
