Description If Fiora had a MySpace account, I think this would be her profile pic. XD This is a photo test (in poor lighting, I apologize...) to see how some of these details come out. The wig still needs to be styled a bit more and the string lacing up the front might be replaced with something else. The mask isn't completely accurate, but I'm pretty okay with that. The trim on the tunic isn't accurate either. It's supposed to be a string of painted squares, but I was so afraid of mucking up my lines and not being able to correct it so I crocheted the trim and that's what's sewn on atm.

This costume is getting there. I mostly need to work on the skirt and leggings now. @_@ It's taking me foreeeeever.

Please ignore my book shelf in the back. I'll most likely move this photo to the scraps section when I get some real photos.

I'm working on it! I'll post more progress photos when I can finish my skirt. But it's a lot of details so it may be awhile. @_@

Looks great! Crocheting your own trim is pretty darn die hard if you ask me! ^_^ (and totally what I'd do, so I guess... we're the same!) Good luck with finishing it! ^_^

The problem was, most lacey trims are too thin. The thicker ones, that actually look like Venetian lace, are crazy expensive. So I did some research, discovered that most of them were crocheted and thought... aha! So all the white trims on this costume are hand crocheted, including the one on my shirt. It's been a lot of sitting on the couch marathoning tv shows.

Most of them are done. I've enlisted my sister's help for the remaining ones.

Burano lace (Venetian lace, but the lace was made on an island near Venice, Burano) is indeed very expensive and indeed a kind of crochet! So in a way it's very accurate! I love it!

^_^ Have fun!
