    At some time, I plan to make the other part of Tira's costume.

    Robe: The fabric I used for this was Casa crepe. I don't know if I would use this same fabric again because it was so hard to iron (tended to melt unless at extremely low temperatures) and because it was thin enough that I felt the need to line the whole thing and not just the shoulder cape. I'm going to try to stay away from any more costumes with so much yardage for a while. ^_^

    Misc.: The glasses were found on Ebay, I'm still looking for some with a silver/reflective finish to them. I have to buy another wig since I didn't much like the quality of the first one I bought from Manic Panic.

    Wig: I bought a Sepia wig from Cosworx (Style: Kelly - Color: Bubblegum) I like the color a lot better than the first one since it has some light pink streaks in the darker pink. Anyway, I ended up putting a lot of braids in the wig and then dipping the whole thing (except for the bangs) into around 180 degree water which made the whole thing wavy. Then I curled it under on the ends and did a few wave touchups with my steamer.

    I'll be getting better pics soon, but for now here are some pics on the dressform.
