So :iconmcrfreakx3: and I are planning to go to a local convention as Kairi and Namine..
I've been working out some patters for the costumes since we got out of school and i'm having a bit of trouble..

Keep in mind, we're running on a very limited budget o.o

First problem: MATERIALS o.o
For Kairi I always though it would be a pleather/leather like material? But I wonder if that would pucker too much at the seams...
And for Namine's dress, would a simple cotton dress work? And should the two dresses have a lining in them..?

I planned to look at a local thrift store to see if I could find some dresses and alter them, but if I can't I want to have a backup plan...

Second problem: ZIPPERS!
Ok, i've checked Walmart, and various craft stores and cannot find 30"-36" SILVER zippers anywhere -.- All I can find are black and blue.. and Idea where I could find some cheap?

Third Problem: Scalloping Namine's dress
So, i've never done scalloping before.. Exactly how shuould I go about it? Do I just cut the fabric and re-hem it or would it better to use that no-fray spray(I don't know it's real name lol)?

uhmmm... and other than that, I beleive we're good...


:EDIT:

Where could I get really cheap sandals that resemble Namine's? lol

Why am I loved only when I'm gone?
Gone back in time to bless the child
Think of me long enough to make a memory
Come bless the child one more time
