Over 8 hours it takes to cut, iron, and bead this Over 8 hours it takes to cut, iron, and bead this full motif. Is it worth it? Yes. Yes, it is. There are 5 repeats of this Art Deco motif around the hem of this pencil skirted dress. My hubs has dubbed this the Oscar's dress, a friend the Loki dress. Me? I can it the Gatsby dress.

What does it remind you of?

If you haven’t seen Last Christmas – go, now. It’s If you haven’t seen Last Christmas – go, now. It’s the best Christmas movie in the past decade. And Emma Thompson saying Lesbian Pudding is one of the greatest moments in film history. Anywho, this is a cosplay of Kate from Last Christmas in her shop-girl elf ensemble.

"Not all who wander are lost." For someone who des "Not all who wander are lost." For someone who desperately loves Lord of the Rings, I surprisingly only have one cosplay from the fandom. In honor of the 20-year anniversary of The Return of the King, here's my one-and-only Arwen. Fun fact though, I went to Trilogy Tuesday when ROTK came out, so opening day I watched the first two movies (extended versions) in the theater and then saw ROTK after. I went with a gaggle of friends and it's an experience I shall never forget.
