Okay, well my friend ask me to go all lolita again on Wednesday next Thursday [even if 2 people get that I'm not a french maid]. Silly AT decided to make a headdress and possible corset cuffs- or whatever you call the things on your wrists.

Please ignore the glare and fuzz, I really need a digital camera. The ribbon is black, not whatever color my camera phone came up with. Now, as to the point of this lengthy ramble? I need ideas of what to put on the headdress. Besides the outer lace, I haven't really got any ideas. General fabric is no problem to get, it's only a bit of a walk to the fabric store.



I hope I get some pointers before Wednesday next Thursday ... sweatdrop

EDIT: The day has been changed to Friday, and here are the results!

I'll probably try to make another [less crappy and long] one but this is fine for now.

Hehe. Well, I wasn't really thinking of designs when I bought the lace and ribbon. I wasn't even sure I'd end up making a headdress.

That's a good idea, and I'll probably try it. Small white ribbon, I suppose.

It looks awesome. I agree with the dimonds of lace or ribbon idea, it sounds cool.

Thanks very much!

Um. Does anyone have a good picture of that design they can post? I really don't want to mess up, because chances are I'll have to redo the entire thing.

Oh, sorry if this wasn't mentioned.

I got white ribbon and flowers, to put at the end of the headdress. Since the ribbon is small and ... delicate, do you think it would be a good idea to glue them down, instead of sewing them?


And glue as in, hot-glue-from-a-glue-gun glue.

i supose so if you need to get the job done, just be sure to not be messy. that head dress is like silk or satin, nay? well the hot glue would mar the fabric so you have to be sure to get glue only where you want glue.

but even so i would go back with a needle and secure everything down. make it last you know

Well at the moment I'm trying to find fabric glue. Also, I don't want to go poking holes in the ribbon, because it's tiny and it comes undone ...
