Spirited Away photoshoot

We got our photos back from our photoshoot with Ed at A-kon! I love how they came out :D

Here are a few more favorites:

Check out the full gallery on my Haku page! I also filled in more info on the costume and moved it from the “In Progress” section to the “Completed” section.

I took several in progress photos while I was making No Face, so I’ll have an entry about that soon :)

Two down, one to go

Chihiro is finished now, which means I have two completed Spirited Away costumes!

Well, Haku’s wig is still a bit long, but I’m scared of cutting it. It’s so straight and even right now. What if I mess it up??! I haven’t decided whether to give it a trim or just leave it as is.

In my last entry, I finished Chihiro’s pants. Now I have her top finished too. I don’t really have much to say about its construction because I really just used my Haku pattern (top, undershirt) but with a few adjustments.

And so, Haku is for me. Chihiro is for Jessie. I now have a month left to make a No Face costume for Jack before A-kon. I hope I can make it in time!

Finally, some Chihiro progress

I finished the pants for Chihiro! Fortunately, I was able to use the same pattern from my Haku pants.

I used stretch poplin for the pink fabric. It’s a bit too thin, so when I was wearing it with a shorter pair of shorts, I could see the line where the shorts ended through the fabric. That’s when I decided to make my own pair of shorts that were longer.

I was looking through white fabric I already had around and decided on twill. I was afraid the white would be too see-through, so I lined it with some very light-weight broadcloth.
