Back home and back posting more of costume photos submitted by YOU!
Many, many of the pictures I've received have been beautiful costumes worn by very pretty ladies. So, that's my theme for the day.

I'm starting with Tarisa Walker http://www.firelilycosplay.com/ She wrote quite a bit about making this costume above.
Lily from Legend - Simplicity 2573. "Lots of hand detailing and hand sewing went into this to make it screen accurate, but the pattern was fantastic and required very little alteration. The under dress is made from a really neat slinky fabric with a slick texture and great drape - I am so thrilled I found it because it's perfect for the costume. The neckline is sewn over with a blanket stitch, and the sleeves feature hand sewn eyelets and hand stitched gold cord trim along the edges. The over dress is made from a gorgeous buttercream yellow sateen. The shoulder straps are decorated in tiny white and iridescent pearl flowers, leaves, and rhinestones. The sleeve straps are decorated with some sequin and bullion trim I've had for several years and rhinestones and gold cord. The long sleeves and bodice are lined with a straw colored lining fabric to match. The bodice features hand sewn gold cord, beads, and various flowers and hand cut leaves. The lacing holes at the bodice front are also hand sewn. The belt piece is hand beaded with smooth and rough purl gold bullion, sequins, and beads. The dress also has two lengths of sequin trim at the front with two gold diamond-shaped tails and fringe.
I hand beaded the necklace using bugle and seed beads, and a heart button with hanging pearls, and the earrings with pearls and bicone beads. The crown/snood is made from a length of flat ribbon wire coated with hot glue for shape and painted gold. The netting portion is gold embroidery floss and each intersection is hand tied. I then added some super sparkly gold flowers with rhinestone centers to the front and back barrette. Not seen in this picture are the shoes - red suede with gold design painted on using glitter glue. And I have the ring, but it's also not pictured here."

This next costume is by Danielle Fiore www.facebook.com/daniellefiorearts , a pink version of the "drowning" dress from Titanic.
This is Danielle again in pattern, I think 9531, one of my lesser known ones.

Can't believe I missed posting this beautiful costume when I posted other versions of my Tudor dress. This is Morgan Githens. And how could I not post her lovely comments.
I own so many of your patterns but I've only made 1! The Tudor gown! And can I say I'm in love with it. Still my go-to for any Renfaire and the pattern was perfectttttttt! I have the French hood as well, however I haven't finished

 Next is Mai Sherie in pattern 1487 here are her comments ... Cersei Lannister cosplay made for myself last month. I'm not finished the detailing yet, but I'm really happy with how all the sewing came together. After getting to wear your sample version at Costume Con in Toronto, I just had to make my own! hahaha I modified the sleeve shape and the neckline trim, and I love how it turned out! I THOUGHT she looked familiar in that dress! Here she is in the original sample at last year's Costume Con. |  |
 | And last for today AJ Wu wearing Everafter pattern 8735. Wish the photo went down to the feet, but very pretty indeed. The blue trim really is a lovely choice. |
