Going to do a photo shoot for Sandra (Dramacon!) on Thursday! I’m mostly doing photoshoots instead of conventions this coming year, but I’d also like to get into the habit of doing a photoshoot for the costume before taking it to a convention! That way it’s sure to be done, no last minute fussing & rushing, if it gets #REKT at con, it’s cool cause I got nice photos of it beforehand!

What are your thoughts on this...?

Quick guide to Under Stitching! I love this technique when I want to have a lining that lays nice and flat, but I don’t want a top-stitch to show on the outside of the garment. Please like/share if you found it useful!

i was just wondering how you created your own parts for pigtail wigs, i havent seen it explained anywhere and the time has come for me to implement this technique. all i really know is it involves a skin cap, i believe?

cThere are a few methods that me and people have used in order to do that. 

My favorite method is using the skin cap of another- or multiple wigs. This gives the more clean ‘skin’ look for it.

For example, this wig was gluing I believe 3-4 pieces of skin cap and then using heat to force the fibers to go in those specific directions. This makes it look a little more natural.

Another method if skin caps aren’t available is setting wefts close together to get a faux part. I used this method for my great fairy wig.

The general idea is setting the wefts down in a line where the fibers are going in the opposite direction of where you want them to go, and then utilizing heat to pull them over the weft line itself and therefore giving it a ‘parted’ look. Rachsaysmer has a great tutorial on this trick.

The last general trick if you are only working with your supplies on hand is to make the ‘woven’ part trick to cover the wefts across.

The basic idea is pulling the fibers back and forth across to make this sort of back braided look that allows you to make twintails. There is this tutorial and another one from Arda on how to do it!
