DeviantProtagonist:
Well damn, seems like you have the solution for everything so far -- I was about to bring up said sequins, what with this owing to Leon's authenticity.
As well, that's an awesome Haruka you've got there. Very pretty and the like~! ^^

I've never used contact lenses, of any kind; I use glasses instead. But then again, my vision is actually pretty good so I hardly ever need them. Maybe I'll get contacts if when my vision gets worse. I can't imagine ever wearing circle lenses, though, but they do look good on cosplayers. ^^

Technology has come a long way and now they have lenses that you don't have to take out (for like 1 month I think.) I think wearing circle lenses is the more or less the same as wearing regular contact lenses except for the fact they are easier to tell which side is the 'right' side.

Yup! This costume will be a lot easier than Scarlet Sprite since when I made that it was my first costume ever and I had only been sewing for about a year. I've learned some more tricks since that time.
And thanks!

Update:
Started doing some work today. Couldn't go to the fabric store because my dad had to work some overtime.
So first, I already picked out my bodice pattern as you know.
When you buy a pattern online it comes in a big puzzle that you have to cut out and put together:
After I cut it out and assemble it the pieces look like this:
I had some left over fabric from Scarlet Sprite, so I figured to make a trial version
Here is the result:
The overall fit is good, and the pattern takes very little fabric (Hooray!)
I need to modify the pattern to accommodate wider straps and use a less slippery lining, but I am extremely happy with the result so far. Can't wait to do this in the real fabric~!
Also this top is super comfy and lightweight. Love love love it!

Grand stuff so far. :D I take it you trace over the fabric, or cut along the edges with the patterns? The frills should be fun to do, too~.

Thanks!
On fabrics that aren't slippery like cottons I usually put the pattern down on the fabric and trace around the fabric with a water soluble pen.
On fabrics that are slippery like the sequin dot I'm working with here and the knit I will be using for the skirt, I pin the pattern down to the fabric very meticulously and cut around with it so I can get a precise cut.
I love doing frills! On my sewing machine I have an auto ruffler <3 It's a lot of fun.
Edit: My wig arrived today and I went fabric shopping as well!
