Progress and prep
Item |

Bought materials |
Made it |
Wig |
Need to pick up from Mel |

Hair ornament |
Need to find headband at home, stick feathers and jewel to it |
|
|
Top |
Have a rough idea of dimensions, need to prototype and sew it. Dangly bits will be tedious to make |
|
|
Skirt |
Pretty much done |
|
|
Ballet flats |
Get flats from somewhere, buy gold stretchy vinyl, wrap it around and glue in place |
|

Wings |
I have red and orange chiffon, layer it up and attach to top |
|
|
Anklet things |
Might have to bodge this one, I don't think I have tassels |

skipped them |
Waist sash |
I badly need lots of gold coin bling, maybe from Lovisa? Maybe I'll do something retarded like use chocolate coins, I dunno yet |

Headset mic |
I don't have anything like this yet, maybe can fake one |

skipped it |
Wax |
Yeah need to do that |

Gotta buy
- Ballet flats - try Bloch or Big W - got them from Bloch, plain white canvas
- Gold scrunchy material - remnant warehouse - got 0.5m, had to travel because EM Greenfield was sold out
- Gold coins - NFI - tried the party shop near AGS, surprisingly huge, found something possibly even better than coins (but I got some pirate coins too)
- Waxing - as a service - done
