Maybe some pink/violet (whatever is avaliable and matches the most) foamy inside (and near the barrettes), so it at least goes a bit /^ and ^\ ? With some invisible thread (the plastic used to hold things in shop displays) and hair spray, it should stay covered. There are even weirder things after all:

Otherwise, you need:

greenscreen fluffers! (and a green screen)

Marlenes collar:

[Bananovitch]

Nice, looks like purple squid

[Claudius Sol]

The top looks very irregular. I'm assuming you're going to level it?

The shadows are quite dark, so I can't see the buttons on the collar, but I assume they're just semi-spherical black plastic buttons?

Also, if you don't mind my asking: HOW DID YOU GET THEM TO STAY IN SHAPE?

Looking good!

The single straps are all on same hight. Guess it's only the picture /perspective that makes it look irregular, but if you lay it down on an even surface it's one row.

The buttons are purple yarn, crocheted into circles and then sewn upon. (Strange, on my monitor I can see it pretty good... Maybe you can see it better on later pictures)

Ofcourse not! Ask away everything coming to mind! I strengthened the fabric with Vlieseline. Thats a fleece available in different strengths that can be fixated on fabric by ironing.

The top has fallen "into the neck" and so they look irregular. A transparent plastic collar should hold them all in place for demoing (too much effort unless you have one from a new shirt, just a suggestion).

Aha, I understand a bit better your problem with photos.

Interfacing in English (Vlieseline is a brand, maybe abused like kleenex or xeroxing).

The top of the stockings / boots.
I couldn't find fitting lace so I learned crochet and made my own



@ Mob:
Yeah, but since I used Vlieseline it's right.

I am envious at the cavalier attitude you display at developing a new skill from amateur to professional in a very short time period...

Looks like she's the Tony Stark of this forum, only instead of battle armor she does cosplay

[Yashia]

You didn't see all those learning pieces screaming "Kill me!"

[Bananovitch]

ROFL

[Claudius Sol]

Perhaps we can see a "fit test" photo?

Right now, it all appears a bit "loose" and hard to make out the shapes.

Sure! As soon as I've attached it to the boots you'll see it worn

[Yashia]

Skirt finished. Of course with the self-made lace! ^_^

[Bananovitch]

Looks nice, but shouldn't it be longer on it's back?

[Errhile]

I think it is a matter of licentia poetica.

[Yashia]

Do you think?
If you look at the picture it's not that much longer at the back than at the front.
The dress however is much longer.

[Claudius Sol]

I think it could use a bit more "distinction". It's not as obvious in 3D as it is in 2D, so exaggeration would help it.

That said, it's still fairly noticeable.

So it's your call.

[Yashia]

To be honest: I don't have Gogos legs, so when worn you don't see much of the back anyways. You'll see that in the next update.

[Errhile]

There, there...

Oh, I forgot that she also wears the dress... or something like that

I'm not sure if anyone has Gogo's legs.

Anime Anatomy is a difficult thing to attain.

Length is fine, drawing one seems to be centered while yours seems to be asymmetric. Anyway, in the miniature it's not clear if some kind of inner skirt or inner layer stuck to the outer, and the back part is hidden.

[el_presidente]

It does look longer in the back in the image, but I don't think it will be a big deal with the dress on top specially since nobody will be looking at you at the angle of the picture.

And don't worry about the legs it just means that you're not a drawing!

[red harvest]

I thought that you were going to do something like this...


But I can see what you are doing. It should work out just fine.

[el_presidente]

red harvest...are you a wizard?

[red harvest]

Yep. A Bard/Wizard according to this http://www.easydamus.com/character.html

[Yashia]

@ Red:
That looks interesting, but no, that isn't what I'm after.

Stockings glued onto the shoes and voila: The boots are finished!

[Bananovitch]

Looks great

[Mob of Blondes]

Looks symetrical now (and dark picture), it was probably rotated over the dummy. Good now. And legs match.

Looking for pictures to check match, found you are not alone at doing versions of the bot:

Ignore the girl.
