I missed that turquoise one.

But, I was thinking about this one:

What do you think?

Either that, or this one:

I saw this skirt in the Signals catalogue and it reminded me of something Inara might wear:

Oh, good...a quicker-loading costume page!
Nothing to really panic over...things are slowly shaping up.
The major project I'm tackling right now is trying to build Mal's Firefly boots...I have the shoes chosen, and the spat constructed and I need to add a few things to them (zipper, ribbing, and the upper portion). I just have to figure out how to connect the two...no, I should say, I need to connect the two; I'm just putting it off until I'm sure I have this right. All manner of things shall be well.
By the looks of the pretty links y'all have been posting, I am looking forward to seeing these costumes!

wow, that is pretty.
And she would wear it, but only if it came in silk - she's a mite partial to silks and satins that girl.

Serenity - i love the rose coloured one, i was considering that one myself, but decided to go for a darker colour. Or not, i don't know. I mean, my favorite colour is green, but the introvert in me is counselling dark colours, but theres also the bit of me that recalls all the photo's of me in peaches and soft pinks that make my skin and hair come alive. So i'm totally stuck.

anyway, this is about you.

so i like the rose, and i think it will suit your colouring, but thats is an absolutely divine shade of blue that you will also look stunning in, so... i'm no help at all.

sorry!

Tristan! you can make boots?

ok, you know whats coming next don't you? Don't worry, i wont ask for them for D*C, but at some point would you make me some pirate boots (exactly like Captain Jacks, but with a heel) or at least some boot covers? you know the flippy top cavalier style ones?

and a hat, maybe a hat, but i'll ask about that when i find out how successfull altering and breaking down my felt hat is (it will do for D*C, but in the long run, i'd love a leather one)

How much would boots or boot covers cost? Rough guesstimate? I know theres quite a lot of leather in them and its got to be a decent thickness, but would i be looking at a lot?

Seryn, this is the first set of boots I have ever attempted to make...I am not sure they will work. I'll give anything a shot once, but let me see how these go first...I may end up pulling out my hair and cursing humans for having feet.

yes, I understand. I to often curse humans for having body parts. Make's 'em damned difficult to clothe.

Ok, I am having a slight difficulty locating an item necessary for the completion of a costume...anyone here ever heard of something called "galosh hooks" or "galosh buckles"? Yeah< neither had I until a friend gave me a few. Turns out they are the perfect base for the buckles on Mal's coat. Only problem is that they seemingly do not exist for sale anywhere...check out this link to an ebay auction; the silver closures are what I am talking about:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3003&item=68518
41650

I have had no luck finding these. I appeal to my costuming sistren and brethren...anyone have any ideas where I may find these, or an alternative? They are a tension-closure, not unlike a larger version of a clip-on earring (I have tried those, and they do not work)...
Thanks in advance!

Seryn, I gave in and bought the rose!! It was calling to me.

It didn't cost any different to have it shipped to me or to you, so I shipped it to me.

And, I ordered the blouse and skirt.

All told, $64. Shipping and everything.

I am chuffed. Thanks for the link.

Now, you must get one! There was one really pretty yellow and green one. Or a nice dark red? Do you do red?

I have to go back and look at them all through your eyes. What colour are your eyes?
