I've still got another legwarmer and my full sized Edge cape to do aswell.
To add insult to injury, I couldn't find crushed velvet, so I chose smooth backed crepe with silver gauze to go on top. All night it's been slipping and sliding and arrrghhh  Why did I decide I was making a Bella Donna costume? WHY?! |
Crepe is a total pain in the butt. I'm a knitter and I once made the stupid decision of lining a piece of knitting with crepe - sewing linings to knit fabric is awful no matter what, but crepe - ick. I wanted to stab. Good luck!
