Its not done yet , but hey I went ahead and wore it to the Lonestar Shindig so its good enough to show here right :p
This was inspired by the message, and somehow between the last fitting (when the corset fit me perfectly) to me actually wearing it I gained 10 pounds somewhere and lost 3 inches from bust and waist (leave it to me to find a way to gain weight and loose inches)... so there are some issues with the corset top being way too big and its having to be redone again.
My best friend "god" did all the sewing, I did grunt work and bought the fabrics. The necklace I was lucky enough to find!

That turned out very nice! Do we get to see it when it's completely completed?

xie xie and yes, though I may have to start from scratch again since the bodice is so large on me.

Oy! That's not any fun! I hope it works out, though.
Will you be attending D*C so some of us may see this creation IRL?

No, but my brother Lost_thought and quite a few Houston Browncoats are making the trip!

That's too bad. But I will look forward to meeting the Houston Browncoats!

Artcat's a GIRL?? 
BTW, I love my Serenity kanji character vinyl window decals. They look beautiful on my white car's dark tinted windows. Even Mr. Grizwald likes them.
E2A: While at Wally World last night, I spotted this pattern that I thought could be a good Inara dress. The actual photo of a model wearing a dress looks very Inara-like. I can see the underdress in a rich brocade and the overdress in a semitransparent lame or something similar. And floor length.

Oh definitely, floor length or even sweeping the floor a little. And maybe a dupatta as well.

That's an attractive pattern with a lot
of potential. The armhole-over-bust
seam is usually very flattering.
Haven't done any costumes in a while, so
bear with me while I think with my
keyboard.
Think inside out. If the fabrics were
right, you might think about
making the the outer layer in the thicker
fabric and the inner dress in something
very light. Then a same-length slip under
that, the color(s) and weight coordinated
with the inner dress for whatever degree
of modesty takes your fancy.
I can see this post is not a model of
clarity, and you aren't here to watch me
wave my hands about, but permaybehaps you
can figure it out. I need food and the
resulting blood sugar boost. Now.
