Surprisingly enough I got Alice's fabric today instead of supplies for props and roses. There was such a great sale today we couldn't help ourselves. So I got a taffeta fabric for the dress (Bottom towards my knee) A cotton fabric for the lining of the petticoat (Top right) and red tulle for the petticoat. As well as some supplies needed for both. I am in love with the red taffeta I found today. I was going to do a satin but I couldn't find the right color. They had a nice red but it had sparkles on it and I didn't like how that one looked. I hate sparkles. Work at an art store for a while and you will too. They NEVER go away. I'm still finding some.
The taffeta fabric would have cost around $90 because I needed 9 yards but since we had a coupon it only cost $30! That's a great sale. My fiance and I saved a ton and have a lot more coupons for sales starting soon in May so that's when we'll buy fabric for Oz so we can save even more. I thought at first these costumes would cost more but they are costing less so far! Which I'm happy about.
Tomorrow I'll start on the petticoat. Last time I realized having the hoop skirt to design the dress around was much easier rather then starting on the dress first then having to make changes later since the dress is larger and more complicated.
We might buy the materials for the scythe tomorrow as well. Depending on how much EVA foam costs. I'll be doing research on that later tonight. I just got home from the gym and am super tired so I'm going to sit back watching some Alien Hunters, drink my Mike's hard lemonade and play Guild Wars 2 later.
