the problem with the bodice was that sometime between my final fitting when it fit nice and tight and did the hold mush and lift thing, and the convention (apprx. a weeks time)
I managed to gain 10 lbs, yet loose multiple inches from my waist and bust, now how I managed that is beyond me, (did not know I had whole inches to loose especially on my nearly non existant bust). Glue would not be enough :p
to give yall an idea I went from a 30.5" bustline to a almost 28", and my waist went from 24" to 22" Needless to say my seamstress was a bit miffed at my sudden size change.
Also the lady who helped me lace up the bodice did a halfass job and did not even lace it tightly so it looks even bigger on me. I'm thinking this one may end up on ebay and I may just start all over again.

Yep, that'll do 'er.
Stairs, I need to build more stairs into my house.
I need to live in an Escher house...
I also need to seriously reduce my daily commute so I have time to go up and down the stairs.

Very shiny dress, impressive! What I'd like to know though is where you found the choker necklace at? It looks very similar to Inara's. I love it and have kept my eyes open for one like it to no avail.

ebay :) and it is the exact same design inara wears and color :)
I started searching long and hard for it when I spotted the exact same design necklace on one of the background folks in the phantom of the opera movie (scene where the dude that hangs is talking about the phantom to the room full of ladies a woman is wearing this necklace done in black)
there is a seller on ebay that sells it :)

well add stairs and being a bit scatter brained, i will get all the way down and realize I forgot something upstairs and have to charge back up the stairs...
gotta watch those ruttin stairs though, they will totally jump out from under your feet and gravity will take over...

You aren't alone when it comes to stairs and forgettin' why it was you climbed them (or descended them) in the first place. I have a saying... "seems like everything I need is at the 'other' end of the stairs. A personal word of advice... don't try puttin' on a t-shirt while going down a set of stairs... let's just say, did that, got the bruises to prove it
Without being too forward, love your hair. So appropriate for our 'verse!

Given a choice between the earth-that-is and the 'verse-that-will-be I'll take the latter.

the hair takes 4+ hours, getting laced into the dress ( I have to get an assistant to help me) takes another good 10 minutes, the rest I can throw on in a matter of minutes, now makeup... that requires assistance, I dont wear makeup so when I try to apply it I end up looking like a clown
