ECG!!!

Hi all,

Last month the 6th till the 8th of may we had a convention called Animecon 2011
At Animecon we had a few big competitions going on.
The WCS (World Cosplay Summit), the ECG Solo (European Cosplay Gathering) and couple.

The WCS is held in Japan. Two cosplayers from the same serie / manga  will be representatives for the Netherlands in Japan Nagoya.

The ECG solo and couple is held in France. One cosplayer would be the solo representative and the couple would be the double representatives in France.

I entered the ECG solo competition with my newest cosplay Oruha from Clover and won the preliminary rounds!!!
That means I will be the Dutch representative and go to France to have the final competition against the rest of Europe.
(Spain, Belgium, France, Denmark, Portugal, Italy, UK, Germany, Switzerland and The Netherlands)

So...and now?

Well..I need to fix my wings. My wings contain from 2 parts cause I couldn't find big foam sheets.
I used adhesive plastic on it and due traveling my wings cracked a little. The adhesive plastic has a strong folding line in it now >__<

BUUUUT I finally found bigger foam sheets and I should be able to use each sheet for each wing part ^__^.
So yeah basicly I just have to start all over again with the wings.

I also might want to add some shoulder bands on the top. I sewed it much tighter allready but with the wings in it, it will slide down. >__<
Biggest thing I hate is just having to pull up my top everytime. It also looks so 'cheap'. Better use transparent shoulder bands then keep pulling your clothes.

For now..
I'm going to take a good rest. I feel totally crap X___X
