costume update


The photoshoot yesterday was okay, though I don't expect the pictures to make it to my website, save for a couple of veil pics. Will post more later!

When I got home yestarday around 17.00 I had 60 minutes before going out to catch the train to Ermelo and I was still wearing my make-up. I did a short livingroom shoot with two costumes that I worked on but that we didn't shoot with the photographer. This post is brought to you from the land of dangerously high splitted skirts.
I worked on the Bella the last couple of weeks, made the underskirt, adjusted hooks and eyes and padded the cups within an inch of their life. Her's a fornt and back view:




And the basic Egyptian style bedlah that I bought from Ahlem on the Asli-sharqi festival. I removed torso obscuring fringe, secure the rhinestone chain because the glue gave out, adjuste hooks and eyes, converted shoulderstraps to halter and stitched elastic into the belt. I bought brown velvet for a skirt and gloves, for now the petal skirt has to do:

You look great inthe blue and in the black/gold costume. The first one makes you look "sweet" the last one makes you look like the queen of the jungle. Very powerfull.

See ya
