Things I Must Tell My Seamtress For Galadriel's Gown:
Collar
- Not too low please. Like Eowyn's White Wool Dress enough. My Rose Dress one is very low (especially the inner dress!) that next Sat, I must make sure Aisyah help to keep a lookout for me whenever it get too low so I can quickly adjust it.
Collar Width
-Not too wide. The Rose Dress one is pretty wide that it can't really stay on that well. @__@ If I go any less in my shoulder width, the dress may just slip off!
Height Of Sleeves Intersection
-Must be exactly 2" above my elbow when I bend my hands.
Train
-1.5'/45cm
Hips
-Make sure the dress gets wider at the waist onwards. I'm telling her to follow the basic shape of Simplicity 9162 which uses Princess Seams and only fitting at the waist up.
And looking at Kurama's Arwen Dress, I realized that she might had used the SGD2.50 kind of Silky Satin; stiff and thin. In a picture, I can see her skin underneath the fabric. Well, I hope the Silk Satin I gotten is thick enough or I'll be in big doodoo. And for the upper sleeves of my Galadriel Dress, I really wonder if I should go on with the plan and use White Satin Back Crepe for it instead of the Double Georgette which will be used as the outer sleeves. I gotten 1 metre of it the other day assuming I want to use it for the upper sleeves but looking at the drawing, I'm beginning to have 2nd opinion cause the whole sleeves in the drawing looks like made from 1 type of fabric instead of 2. And I'm not sure if I can get the gathers with Satin Back Crepe. Will have to ask some people for 2nd opinions as soon as I upload the scans of the fabric swatch online. Must also ask what I should use as backings and to weight down the Brocade Trimming I gotten for the belt of the Galadriel Dress.
Other than that, I may be ready to send it to my seamstress by end of next week or the Mon after I comes back from KL.
While on LOTR, I found what I been seeking. It's a report from a LOTR Fan about TTT Premiere Party last Dec at Kallang Theater.
Yub, what Shufen said was true; one have to spend SGD500 on a single recipt using Mastercard to get invited to the party. Well, donno about this year but Jeanette said her friend will try to apply to be the coordinator of the event for ROTK and may invite us as Talents. Personally, I'm pretty hesistate about this cause
1) All the LOTR Singapore Cosplayers are either Malay or Chinese. Those that had been used the past 2 years are 99% Caucasians;
2) The height of the Elves & Humans is roughly plus/minus that of the Hobbits. Same goes with Ringwraith No. 5; he's shorter than me I think! And our average height is about 1.6m with Hassan at 1.8m? @__@
So I really wonder if we deserved to be the Talents for the event.
Err, about my Arwen, what ears am I to use? Hope Errol comes home by this Wed so I can get the Woochies one from him and use it.
