Yuuko Ichihara - Foxy Lady #2

. red cotton satin, leftover from the kimono

and Chinese dress, for the bow;

. white silky satin, for the blouse and underskirt;

. steel headband, for the fox ears;

. golden lace beads, for the sleeves

Couldn't resist, I had to go downtown, actually to go to an old shoe shop, closing down in two days, in search of a bargain - I got nice and cheap summer sandals - so, as lately my outings have been, I did a bunch of errands, scheduled two covid tests, bought some velvet ribbon for something else, and, at the same shop, a big Chinese trinket shop, Max Biju, I got 4 steel headbands for €1,80, and found those lovely lacy golden beads, perfect for the "buttons" on her blouse. Then I stopped by Flying Tiger, and behaved, bought nothing, and by Feira dos Tecidos. The silky satin, the same as the burgundy for Hokuto's Mad Hatter costume, was, €5,95/m, so I got 3 meters. Simply couldn't resist. Actually I can already go ahead with making the sleeves, but I'll wait until I have the Mad Hatter finished. Meanwhile, whenever I have a few extra €€, I'll slowly buy the remaining materials:

• grey fabric dye
• PVC/ Sintra 3mm sheet
• golden paint
• order foam clay
• order the shoes
• order the dance tights

I'll also probably have to wait until I moved into my new flat, which will most likely be by summertime.

+ The butterflies of starting a new costume!

THE CUNNING PLAN 

Finish the Mad Hatter! Buy the remaining materials, focus on college.
