Who knew making a skirt and getting the right draping effect on the armbands would require so much work?!
I feel rather stupid but I finally have that stuff finished.
Lately I've been finishing up the chestpiece,
This is all craft foam, a bit of fabric for backing/providing support and a lot of paint (acrylic, 3-D fabric acrylic, and Rub*n*Buff)
I'm not entirely happy with the "gems" but it's the best I could manage for the time being. I'll definitely be revisiting this costume in the future.
The belt
Probably made a few too many pieces for the main part of the belt. But better safe than sorry.
Most of it was attached with super glue. The gems are tiny tiny I believe 7mm Glico rhinestones.
A few parts of the necklace,
and finally getting some of the headdress.
Once again utilizing craft foam, fabric for supporting the foam, and lots of paint.
I'm waiting on my order of belly dance loose coins (7.50/10 ish with shipping that I bought from an etsy vendor)
and the mother of pearl sheets I also obtained from etsy. So far so good.
EDIT* THEY CAME IN!
If you ever needed mother of pearl veneer sheets then hit up these people - http://www.etsy.com/shop/MorningCalmStore?ref=seller_info
I suggest messaging them if you have need for more than one sheet. They're a little smaller than a piece of paper both length and width wise.
Your best bet in cutting them is probably also scoring it with an exacto knife or something along those lines.
I apparently sucked at this in the beginning so that's what awesome boyfriend is for;

| Also for getting General Grievous Masks |
Hopefully I'll get most of the costume done before the weekend is over so I can have smoother sailing til April comes around.
