You're welcome! Happy to hear it was helpfull

Hi, not sure if I can explain it clearly but I will give it a try: I took the long/outside wing pvc pipe (the one that hangs down, not the one connect to my back) and in the top part I made a small hole. I put the fishing wire trough the hole and make a few knots. That it. That is how it is attached. When I just pulled it the wing wanted to go outward a bit. That is why I added the eye screw to the middle of my harness on my back. You need to be able to have the wire run from the point of the wing and stay in the middle of your back. Hope this helps

@@CreativeChaosCostumes thank you so much, that explains it a bit! I appreciate you still replying to comments, even 2 years later!!

No problem! Always happy to (try to) help. Good luck!

@@CreativeChaosCostumes Much appreciated!! Now i have something to work on for my next costume 😆

Yeey! So happy to hear it was helpful!

If you can make it, you can have it 😉

Thank you! 😁

No, I do not have an Etsy shop unfortunately

I would say it's worth the try! I think you will be able to do it if you are patient and take your time. I had the most trouble with the crotch. So if you don't need the legs and are having doubts if you can do it, I would say maybe skip those and just make the torso. Good luck!

@@CreativeChaosCostumes i wanna make pants so i think i need the legs lol but i am pretty ambitious so i will definitely give it a try!

Go for it! Worst case scenario you had a good practice and learned a bunch. Best case scenario you have the perfect dress form. Either way is a win in my book 😉

@@CreativeChaosCostumes i will! I have two more questions if you don't mind. One: does it matter how thick the fabric is as long as it is not stretchy? I have a canvas material and i have a standard cotton print from joann's. I'd like to use pattern print so it will look prettier but would it be too thin? Idk if i should just use the canvas. Two: most of the patterns I've seen cut much smaller pieces i.e. around the breast or curves. You've gone in just long strips. So, does it make a difference to the form if you make less pieces? Yours seemed to come out fine though.

I can't tell you if your material will be too thin without feeling it. You will be pulling on it a lot and it needs to keep your stuffing smooth. I think the best course of action would be the canvas first en than the pretty layer on top. Than the canvas can do the hard work and the pretty cotton will be what you see. I feel it worked just fine with the long strips. I do think if you need your breasts to be very exact that more pattern pieces help with that. So if you want to drape bra cups on it etc. My dress form doesn't have the dip between my breasts, but I personally don't wear clothes (except bra's, and I don't drape those) that need to be form fitting between them. So I have not have issues yet.

I get most my wigs from AliExpress, but if you live in a country where they celebrate Halloween you can probably find them is stores for sale now

Caulking is glue, so wouldn't recommend using it on your own hair unless you are planning to keep this look permanently 😅 I have seen others braid wire into their hair and then form the loops. Maybe you can try that? Good luck!

@@CreativeChaosCostumes I did not see the whole thing, so I was thinking of hair spray or mousse or some other kind of hair product?

You can always try it, but I doubt it will have enough hold if I am honest. I have only tried it this way, so I wouldn't know what else could work

@@CreativeChaosCostumes Ok well thank you I got to save up for the wig I have been cosplaying without it, I put my hair in pigtails with pinks scrunchies but that is it no loops and I have been looking up how to do it with my hair but it just shows how to do it with wigs not real hair, so I was wondering if it was possible?

I don't think it's possible to get these loops with real hair. You can get close by braiding in some wire and than looping the braids. But I think otherwise you can only get the shape with glue. My wig was a cheap one from AliExpress. I think a payed about 12 euros back in the day. Maybe there will be discounted wigs around Halloween. Either way good luck! Having fun is the most important thing 😁

Thank you!! 😁

Thank you for commenting. Happy to help!

@@CreativeChaosCostumes I ask for help, I would appreciate it very much if you could share the plans that you used in the construction of the sword, and I tried to get them but I have not been successful

I am afraid I can't help you with that... I free-handed the pattern en just tried some stuff out. It was a really long time ago and I moved houses about 3 times. So I don't have the patterns or plans any more. And I gave the sword away as a gift so I can't measure or trace it for you either.

@@CreativeChaosCostumes ouch right in the heart

Sorry, good luck!

I did! But I am very flexible/hyper mobile. It is best to have someone to help you with the back. Goodluck!

Hi! Thank you for commenting, but I don't know what that means

Thank you! And you are welcome 😁 happy to hear it was helpful!!

Hi, thank you! I don't do customs yet. I am moving to a bigger space this year and hoping that I can start doing them there. If you keep an eye on my Instagram or Facebook page you will be notified if I do end up offering costum costumes 😄

Thank you!!

I think it was 3/4, but I am not sure. I used that I had laying around. It is worth just feeling around different size pvc pipes and seeing which bend nicely but are not too flexible

You're welcome! Thank you for commenting!!

Thank you so much! That is very sweet of you to say! I will keep it up!

You are welcome! Happy to hear it is still being used! 😃 I just shoved mine in the collar of my dress... You can also put it in the back of a choker/ big necklace or hide it in a pouch that you tie with a band under your wig

I personally don't think those will be strong enough... But it is worth the try! Good luck

You're welcome! Happy to help ☺️

I love how making it yourself gives you the freedom to do it however works for you. You can choose the size, hight etc. And it was fun to do 😁

These where cut to size for my old bed, so I could just screw them back. But originally they where scrap wood my mom had laying around. You could use something like 2x4 lumber. As long as all the slats are the same thickness and thick enough to carry your weight

It's a great bed! So useful! I really love it 😁

It's called a heat gun 😁

I have moved again and needed a loft bed, so unfortunately I don't have it anymore. But it has served me well for years! It is very sturdy.

Sounds awesome! Happy to be of inspiration ☺️

You are welcome, happy to help! Thank you for commenting 😁

You're welcome! Happy to hear is was helpful. Good luck on your wings! 😁

Oeh that would be awesome!

You're welcome! Happy to help 😁 I would love to see how it turns out, and I do have Insta. Good luck!

Thanks!

Ja wel, verschrikkelijk 😂 maar nu ik een goede paspop heb kan ik patronen daar op drapen, dan hoef ik mezelf niet meer in te tapen.

@@CreativeChaosCostumes oow besteee deel je filmpjes in de groep dan check ik hem elke keer

Is goed! Ik post niet vaak, maar zal ze in de groep delen

@@CreativeChaosCostumes deal en vaker een filmpje maken😜

Hahaha, daar maak ik geen beloftes over 😂

Great idea! It makes sewing so much easier to have a dress form in your size!

Hahahaha, thank you!

Haha, thanks you. Very happy with it! 😁

Hahaha, we stuff indeed! Can't say I didn't get sick of it half way through 😅 but happy to have a new dress form!

Thanks!

You're welcome! Happy to hear that you like it 😉
