COSTUME HELP!

[moshing-nekked.livejournal.com]

i need to figure out how to make the rainbow brite costume/dress i just made NOT make me look pregnant.

i have an idea... that MIGHT work... or might screw up all the superb work i just did.



It's one of those empire waists... (i think that's what it's called) the skirt begins a few inches below my breasts. (i'm a big girl) and the skirt just BILLOWS making me look BIGGER. yuck. so far the dress is just blue and rainbow and white. now rainbow brite wore a red sorta aprin... i'm thinking cut the skirt... and reattach with a red band to add more length between my boobs and skirt... kinda putting the billow down to my non-existant hips and hopefully creating hips... thing is i have'nt sewn in years and am afraid that straying that far from the pattern will "F" it up.

*sigh*

maybe i just need experienced advice and/or motivation.

here's a general idea ( i haven't unpacked my cam yet.. so you get to see my high quality MS PAINT SKILLS)

i also realize that my costume is'nt a dead ringer but it'll definatly be no guessing on who i'll be as long as you've heard of rainbow brite! OH and i have rainbow striped knee high socks.



an image of the little gem herself to remind everyone!


so... any tips or words of courage would all be appreciated... it's either that or i go with the naughty nun costume i already have... cool too... but just NOT the same.

I will have photos at some point to post... not that my MSP SKILLS just are'nt impressive ;)
