When I first started Bombshell Wondie, I had no idea so many people would like her! It's been one of my most popular and most worn costumes this con season (yay comfort :P). I've steadily made improvements for each con, so I thought I'd share some of those with you today! Wig: My friend Mia recently … Continue reading Costume Notes: Bombshell Wonder Woman 2.0

A-Kon Wrap-Up
In early June, I attended A-Kon 25, which is one of the biggest anime conventions in Texas and held in Dallas. A-Kon will always have a special place in my heart, since it was the very first con I attended three years ago! This was A-Kon's second year in their new location, and staff has … Continue reading A-Kon Wrap-Up
Me-Made-May 2014 Wrap-Up
Oh the things we start with the best intentions. My first week and a half of MMM started well. I dutifully picked my outfits and even did what I said and posted them to my Instagram. Then things got weird. The second full week of May was OMG-crunch-time for Dallas Comic Con, and it was … Continue reading Me-Made-May 2014 Wrap-Up
Dallas Comic Con Wrap-Up
Better late than never, right? In May, I attended Dallas Comic Con. This was the first time the convention was actually held in Dallas, specifically the Dallas Convention Center. I was absolutely thrilled with this, since the new location is a short taxi cab from my apartment (it's going to be such a bummer to … Continue reading Dallas Comic Con Wrap-Up
She’s just a skater girl
Back to regular posting! A-Kon was a blast, but I'm really, really excited that my next big con isn't until the end of August. I'm planning to attend A-fest for a day and another smaller con in July, but I don't currently have anything new planned for those. My apartment has been a cos-disaster for … Continue reading She’s just a skater girl

Costume Notes: Ms. Marvel
Completed: May 2014 Hours Spent: 10~12~ Debuted: Dallas Comic Con 2014 Why This Costume: This costume started out as a stashbusting project.

Costume Notes: Supergirl

MMMay Week 1: May 1-7
As promised, here's a round-up of my me-made creations from the first week of May! I kicked off the month with my new Mabel skirt. I had Friday off of work, so I paired it with one of my old college shirts for a leisurely day of food trucks and fabric shopping. My next self-made … Continue reading MMMay Week 1: May 1-7
May Challenge: Maybe it’s Mabel(ine)
Remember back in March/April when Colette announced they were releasing knit patterns? I squealed with joy. I was looking for an excuse to play with knits more. This is partly out of a desire to build a more functional wardrobe, but also so that I could practice using my serger for something other than finishing seams. … Continue reading May Challenge: Maybe it’s Mabel(ine)
