So the plan is to go pick up my Lawrence, who has yet to get a new faceup, and then use him as a model to try make a thinner, better-fitting mask. Sure, it looks great in his hand, but not so much when he's wearing it. However, I had to shave a lot off, and sanded it quite a bit too, but there's no getting around the fact that it's way too thick. I made it months ago, out of Aves Apoxie, and it seemed fine back then. The biggest problem right now is the mask. And after the success with the Christine costume, everyone will expect the same level of perfection with the Phantom.

That is exactly the problem! Simple, tailored clothes are the absolute worst thing to make in small scale. I pulled apart some fringe, and used three 'threads' from the plain red, and three from the gold/red fringe, and combined them to make a single tassel, and then I sewed it below every other red sequinned point. Īfter Christine's costume, this one is a HUGE challenge. Since that diamond pattern in many of the costumes appears to have had a red background, I sewed red sequins into the spaces. a metre! It was a bit of a challenge, to get such a wide straight trim to fit nicely on a small curved skirt, but I managed, by running a basting thread along the top, and gently pulling it into a curve. Thankfully it was on sale for half price that day, since it was $20.

I didn't have anything like that, and didn't relish making it all from scratch, so went to Fabricland, and they had a trim I thought would work. One of the things most of the costumes had in common was the wide row of criss-cross, gold diamond shapes. I finished the pleated strip for the bottom of Christine's skirt, and sewed it on, as well as the other trims.

I used a slightly speckled, dark turquoise green, cotton fabric. and made a green Victorian skirt, onto which I would sew all the trims.
