who is going to be glimmer (from she-ra). (we're making the indigo-bluish areas purple, and the magenta areas a sort of pinker hot magenta than in that image.) this is the first costume i have made for her since i made her a christina aguilera costume (from the what a girl wants video. i put all those brass rivets on a fake suede jacket i sewed myself--three and four rows all around. hours of work, which really hurt my hands) and then she didn't wear it trick-or-treating. the idea for this one came because she had bought a pale pink wig. well, i think she is going to wear it, and it's not as much work; we bought tights, boots, and a leotard, and the rest is largely dyeing the tights purple, spray-painting the boots pink, and hot-gluing felt and plastic jewels to make the accessories/trim the leotard.

she's going to be really cute.
