Of Things to Come

I know that this blog is lacking some serious posts, but unfortunately the chronicle is winding down and so I've had to resist the urge to make or buy anything new.  From a creative standpoint that may sound strange but it's heart breaking to pour hours of hard work into something that will hardly have any time for use before it's shoved into the back of the closet never to be seen again.  This has already become the fate of the lovely scale dress.  I had hoped it would get one more outing but sadly it's no longer skin tight and I didn't have time to take it in before the convention.

Now the good news:
While I don't currently have any projects planned for LARP this is a costuming blog not specific to any one sort of costuming.  Aside from bellydance I have recently taken up burlesque.  And what calls for better costumes than burlesque?  It's a world full of rhinestones, beads, sequence and feathers.  Even a store bought dress is just the beginning of something that has to be glitzed and glammed to the fullest extent.

I am currently working on my first number which means there will soon be updates.  Exciting isn't it!?  I've already done some sketches of how I think the outfit will pull together so keep your eyes peeled for new posts.
