holytoastrLast night I finished the top and went to try it on, only to discover it didn't zip up! Doom!
I forgot that my strapless bra is a bit thicker than my normal ones. And the stop was already pretty tight in those. Just that tiny extra bit threw it over the edge.
All was no lost though! I opened up the back and added a slim panel of leftover knit fabric. I didn't even need to measure precisely because it would stretch. So all is good now. It's not perfect, but it works. Good enough is the motto of the day!
Despite the disaster, I managed to get to bed before midnight. And then woke up at 5:30, which was not enough time at all to get ready! I ended up doing my make up when I got to work.
I was having a mild panic about riding the bus and train in my silly outfit. I tried to cope by pretending I was asleep. Then at least I wouldn't see the stares. I got two compliments on my wig while walking from the station to the office.
Everyone so far likes my costume at work. I hope I win the contest. I'm really tired.
