Girl, what the heck have you been doing!? We want updates already!
I've been doing the most mundane, neck-aching, back-breaking, horrific-yet-necessary part of the costuming job: cutting.

The sad part is that I'm still not done cutting! Instead, I'm off to buy out the fabric store of their delectable silver trim, so I can get that on before the lining (which isn't cut, haha).
