Costume Babble - Take 23

setraImagine for a moment that this kimono was closer to 'done' and a little further from 'ahahahahaNO':
I just set the lining inside to keep it out of my hair but... the colors, they are fabulous, no?
The inner top lining is really stunning in person, but I'm completely content with the body and sleeve lining being what it is. It's exactly what I wanted when I went out looking and it works perfectly.
Also... I'm opting to stick with gold outlines only on the flowers. Partially for aesthetic reasons (I like the 'softness' of the detail) and partially because I wanted this part of the costume done in JANUARY, and if I push on to outline all the flowers again, I'll probably still be painting in april. Also, I would lose my mind.
Also, for myself and anyone who cares - this is what my sewing space looks like when the apartment is actually cleaned up! I actually missed a lot because I was a little too far in. Another step or two back and you'd see several more piles of projects, fabric, and more drawers of stuff.
Now, sleeping. Two more days until my day off. Then only one day before my /weekend/.
Am very excited, but will try not to let myself go nuts with my Yudu once I get it. This week, for sure!
