Well okay, not so much of a report yet-- I'm borrowing [livejournal.com profile] princess_lesa's idea and making a little pictorial record of all of my costumes from D*C 2007. I brought five and wore all five! Woo!

This is probably my absolute favorite picture of the whole weekend (courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] kay_dee70's husband David and his mad photography skillz):

Great pics of your costumes! I brought 3 costumes and only wore 2 - and I didn't get great pics of my SH gown! Oh well! :-)

Thank you! Five was really a lot for me...I almost didn't wear the rainbow dress and do the photoshoot, but I'm glad I did cause I got to meet more people. That's really too bad about your SH gown-- sadly our pictures of the three of you in your gowns just did not turn out nicely either. Maybe it was the lighting?

The lighting was never good where we were - and I got overheated and didn't wear it for long! Oh well!

...it's wrong just how much I want a Sith Cheerleader costume. *facepalm*

But you have gorgeous pics of all your costumes! Very nice.

You can totally get one! They're trying to get enough girls together for another order-- I think there needs to be 12 at a time. There's a yahoo group for it, and I can give you more details if you're interested. :D

Thank you!

I am totally impressed by the first one. How did you not injure yourself? Also, I LOVE the first Kaylee one.

Dude, I give all credit for that first one to David and his camera skillz. I have no idea how he took that picture so awesomely. That's about the only jump I can sort of do right (I like to pretend I'm a cheerleader sometimes, because I'm weird).

That Kaylee one cracked me the hell up when I saw it! I'm really not sure what's going on there-- maybe it was right after the Stargate Atlantis guy walked by me and commented on my dress and I was freaking out?

Well, you were a perfect jumper! I sent that shot into Bantha Tracks BTW. It was just too cute!

yeah... not so much feeling the Mad Costuming Skills at the moment, even though I have costumed Three. Shows. This. Week.

I am INSANE.

and I MISS YOU.

(wow, lots of caps here, but that's just how I'm feeling!)

Super Costuming Lady!
More powerful than an industrial serger!
Able to costume THREE SHOWS in a SINGLE WEEK!
TOTALLY NUTS!

(love ya!)

I miss you like crazy too...we are really looking seriously at coming to see y'alls in January. It depends on United ceasing to be bitches about giving me my frequent flyer miles from my Europe trip, though. (Not to worry; I shall beat them into submission soon enough.)

Look! It's the dress that Paul McGillion admired! ; )

And that Sith Cheerleader action shot is too cute. I so *heart* having fantastic costuming friends.

Yeah. I'm still not forgiving her for not kidnapping him for me! :)

Those pictures are fabulous, Caitlin! I'm sorry I missed nearly all of your costuming.

From: [identity profile] jainamsolo.livejournal.com
Oh, damn, and I could totally have hid him under my skirt! That thing is huge, you know!

Yeah, pretty much all my costuming at D*C was late at night, rather than during the day. It was hard enough to get around in the daytime without people stopping to ask for pictures!

From: [identity profile] jainamsolo.livejournal.com
I know!!! I think that panicked-face shot might be my reaction to him after he walked away!

Thank you. :)

*giggles* I was wondering if you ever wore the Shindig dress anymore.


I really need to go to D*C someday...

From: [identity profile] jainamsolo.livejournal.com
I do, sometimes! She's just so giant and fluffy, it's not really a dress you can throw on and walk around a con floor in.

D*C is definitely a lot of fun! It's a very different kind of con from the ones I've been to before, but still great.

Oh geez, that's right! Has it really been that long since I've seen you? This summer was mad busy with work and stuff. :(

LOL, yeah. Well, I'm off work all week, but I'll be busy wed morning-afternoon and all of Thursday, so let me know when you have a free moment. :-P

Yay! Your rainbow dress is so pretty. I really appreciate those, now that I tried and failed to make my own! xD

From: [identity profile] jainamsolo.livejournal.com
Aw, thank you! And don't say you failed! You just had an unfortunate washer incident-- happens to us all. (Happened to my rainbow dress, in fact!) From what I can tell, your dress was really pretty!

Keep holding your arms up!

Great pics...I have some good ones of you too. I've had computer software issues at home...I need to fight though them and finish filling the photobucket tonight.

Great action shot!

LOL-- "I can't put my arms down!"

Cool, I look forward to seeing your shots! Still trying to get all of ours online as well...we took them at very high-res since it was our first time using the camera (oops).

To this day every time I see that rainbow dress, the first place my brain goes is "Polychrome." :-) I think whoever designed the costumes for AotC must've been an Oz fan, because they dressed Padme as Ozma in one scene and Polychrome in another! *g*

Your costumes are gorgeous as always. I wish I had the skill to make something like that, but I never learned to sew at all except for cross-stitching! :-)

Date: 2007-09-11 05:30 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] jainamsolo.livejournal.com
I'd like you to know that you sent me on an hourlong wikipedia detour, looking up all this different Oz stuff, thanks to your mention of Polychrome. *g*

And thank you! Hey, five years ago, about the most I'd ever done was cross-stitching and a few straight seams on my mom's sewing machine. I honestly think that anyone can learn to sew-- you just have to be willing to screw up a lot, is all. :)

The Lake Dress is absolutely stunning. It's one of the best recreations I've seen. :D

Awesome pics -- thanks for sharing!

If it's not too personal, how do you keep the rainbow dress up? Is it just quality construction, or was there judicious use of double-stick tape? *curious*

Date: 2007-09-12 05:30 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] jainamsolo.livejournal.com
Thank you! Oh, it's double-stick tape for sure! Otherwise I'd be flashing people all over the place. ;-)

I absolutely love your Kaylee dress! Everyone always comments on how like Kaylee I am, and I've been told in no uncertain terms that I MUST make the Shindig dress. I'll be sure to check out your site when I go to make it! Yours is definitely one of the closest colour wise that I've seen! :D

Another gal on my flist, [livejournal.com profile] smithereen linked her D*C album today, and I found a picture of Disco Leia and your Kaylee gown in there. Thought you might enjoy!
