Are you talking Martin Luther King or President's Day weekend? Let me know which so I can arrange time off. :D
Sak is March 24-26 I do believe. That's a good plan though. The dress shouldn't take you more than a couple days and getting all the little odds and ends done that don't need a sewing machine while at school is a great idea.
We can discuss later how you want to approach the armor. Both this (http://pics.livejournal.com/pzb/pic/00023579/g8) and this armor (http://pics.livejournal.com/pzb/pic/00022p29/g8) were done with vinyl, which you'll want a special sewing machine foot for (which I have :D) but there's also the other method I mentioned before. The vinyl would likely be the cheaper (and somewhat easier) way to go, now that I think about it. We could just cut strips and sew them together and maybe do a little painting to create the illusion of more depth....we'll talk about it.:D
If I don't catch you before hand (if I haven't missed you already) have a safe trip home. :D
