Oh, God. I'm A Crazy Person

[redbrunja]

I'm clinically insane. That's the only explanation. And you know, this really isn't my fault, I can't be held responsible - this is because of lack of sleep (I do crazy things when I'm sleep deprived, like making rp journals) or the fact that the water was shut off this morning in my apartment (Me last night: I want to wash my hair. Mmmm, better not, there's never hot water at night. Me this morning: *turns on the facet* *no water at all* Oh, you are kidding me.) Oh! Finals. This is because of finals. And I'm still half-sick. Really, I can't be expected to make rational decisions right now.

*takes deep breath*

So you want to know what I'm not doing?

This morning, I did not take screencaptures of Suki's awesome and fiendishly complex outfit.

 

I am not poking around on fabric sites looking at what's available.

I am not looking at pattern sites and thinking, 'hmm, am I crazy, or would that Tibetan Chupa make a good base for her outfit'?

Oh, god, I'm clinically insane aren't I?

Flist, I throw myself on your mercy. 

Help. 

If you could either a.) find and return my sanity

b.) give me the information on cosplay, specifically time/skill/money estimates, ideas on how to make the vest, headdress, arm bracers and detailing.

c.) smack me across the mouth and stick my head into a bucket of ice water.

[ETA: use this and possibly this.

A-Line Skirt]

Good point. And I was looking around on the yardage charts for that Chupa, and I'm have a suspicion that you make that in two pieces, with a top and a wrap skirt.

All I can say though, is that after making the dress and the make up, I BETTER have people stopping and asking for my photo, that's all I have to say. *smiles* *is a comment whore in all forms of fandom interaction.*

Well, they have two versions, a skirt and a full-length jumper -- I can't tell from just the little diagram there if the jumper version has a seam at the waist or not since the wraparound bit of the skirt covers up where a seam would be. Although even if it's cut in one long continuous piece, you could use the skirt pattern as a guide for where to chop it in half. ;)

And I'm sure you'd get your picture taken, probably even in groups since Avatar cosplay seems to be getting more and more popular.

I really hope so. Last year I was the one person in my group of friends who WASN'T part of the themed Ouron group, so I was totally the odd woman out.
