Anyway, Enchantress updates. Of course I didn't take any pictures of this process, but the initial idea for fixing the Enchantress (see post here) was to build a small placket to widen the back a bit. I opted to do a rectangle the length of the gap and sew on some snaps so it could snap to the original skirt (because I was too lazy to actually cut larger panels, and I live in hope that someday the smaller one will fit). So, that sewn and snapped in place, I took the entire thing over to my friend's house for the fitting.
(I apologize once again for the jeans in the photos. I promise they aren't part of the real costume! I had to sew some eyes into the waistband of the skirt for the back piece to slot into, and I had to wear the front piece in order to mark out where they needed to go. Since I was then going to sit and sew the eyes in, I didn't want to go ahead and put on the leggings at that point. So we tried it on with the back piece, and then we realized that when you've got a corset on over jeans, it's darn near impossible to remove said jeans. /facepalm)
And here it is! :)
And the back ... please ignore my hideously over-inflated arm. :)
One Steampunk Enchantress. :) You can see Eg's Scarlet Witch over at Between I and J. The menfolk are being a bit more camera-shy, but I'll be sure to post some photos when we get the whole group together done up. Everyone should share in our joint insanity. :)
