Good evening.
This post is to keep you updated about my costume.
The pike is already at home.
Theo did an amazing work, so I have two different versions of the pike, with two different rings, the original one, in aluminium, and the second one, a mokume ring. It takes only 30 seconds to change the rings.
Talking about the helmet, Stevie told me this week that it´s made. It should be painted along the weekend, and we'll have to wait for the paint to be fully harden.
Now, let's talk about the costume.
Last friday, I was with the dressmaker, for the first test.
Here, you can see a video, with the outer placed over the mannequin (please, click on the image).
Inner and sash were done, basted.
Here there are the inner pictures:
As I was discussing with Mortty and Iromano, there are several changes to be done.
Pleats over the shoulder will not be in the final design, in order to achieve CRL specifications.
Sash will be made again, to have only one fold, in the middle, instead of three pleats, as in the picture.
Total length will be adjusted, just at the end.
This friday, everything should be amended. In this case, inner will be sewn, and total length adjusted.
Outer is not really mine:
This is Javi's outer.
Mine will be, at least, 1 inch wide smaller. This way, creases over the chest and shoulders, will disappear.
Moreover, round piece over the shoulder, has been redesigned this way.
An this is all, at least up to this friday...
Thank you very much, Mortty & Iromano for your support in this process.
