Probably one of the most hardest things I have ever done...

Back round first I use to work at Davids Bridal’s alterations, thanks to the amazing alterations manager there I was able to do this.

So the weekend before the con I get the top two pictures (make note I already knew I was going to be doing some minor altering to this dress to begin with.) I was expecting to do some minor nips and tucks but did not expect this dress to be at least two sizes to big. this then turned into a are you willing to come over for a visit and we will fix it. So what did I do? I added a a corset.

I used these websites as a slight reference (it has been two years since I have added a corset...)

In most cases I have had a already premade loops available. On a 4 days before the con issue I had to do something different. Using biased tape and ribbon I hand made loops. 

I cut out three-four inches of fabric on each side of the zipper. and started to sew in the loops. Lesson learned, beading and sewing machines do not mix (I broke 8 needless) I got about 80% done and said some colorful language and started hand sewing. 

I am so proud of how this came out, I love it almost as much as I love my Cinderella Dress.

As promised, here is the first thing I worked on. A water friendly mermaid tail. how I made it under the cut.

 I based about 60% of the design off of this youtube video

I had my con child come out and visit so we could do some shopping. I had him pick out some swimsuit like material (NOT Yaya Hans’ material I will not work with that fabric after what I have heard about it) I deviated from the video’s fin design but I feel like this is the safer option then plexiglass. 

I took some plywood of my desired thickness and had my con child map out their desired fin design. I had my dad help me cut it out (I tried myself first but was not ok with how it was cutting. I can handle power tool pretty well but in situation where you feel uncomfortable you can always ask for help) I coated the edge with duct tape (it fixes everything) I then bought some rubber sealant and used the entire can and coated the wood. I got some water shoes and attached them. I used hot glue due to a time crunch but a shoe fell off so they will be getting attached again with a better glue. You can use a monofin if you don't want to make your own

To help the fin keep its shape in the fabric I used pieces of Velcro to keep it shut along the seam.

Now this is a cosplay you do not walk around in, so we borrowed my Godson’s wagon and luckily my con child has loving boyfriend that was willing to pull him around all day, and cary lots of carrying. DO NOT ever hop around in this tail YOU WILL rip the fabric (I know from experience).

Don’t feel bad if you don’t have a serger I don’t either. I did a zigzag seam down the side then traced over it with a straight seam down the middle.
