Stuff for AE, mostly, as that is next in line.

Super Sailor Uranus (which I have been working on all week)
-Back bow, collar and choker are all done
-Skirt is lined and ironed but not pleated and attached
-Front bow needs little heart charm, otherwise done
-Have (hideously expensive) leotard fabric, must find a store that actually carries Green Pepper or Kwik Sew patterns
- Boots and gloves - not started. Couldn't find any good base shoes for less than $30 at Payless, so it's thrift store time

Rufus
-Must solve wrinkly fabric issue QQ
-Black glove still MIA (if I have to buy a third pair of those I will be angry - first pair fell victim to mold in sketchy basement suite)
-Must acquire stuffed black panther to transform into Dark Nation (Jon finally solved the 'cat or dog?' Dark Nation debate - the answer is 'displacer beast')
-Shotgun - discover who has power tools I can borrow >___>
-Order blue contacts now that I know precisely how blind I am
-Low Priority - buy a real black turtleneck (while Rufus wearing TB!Subaru's shirt amuses me, it means I can't do any jacketless photos without looking silly), sew matching vest (Three-piece suit yeaaaaah)

Leon
-Buy a new leg holster buckle
-See: gloves for Rufus
-Belt pouches? Probably too poor for this summer, though
-chest strap and and knife sheath for the shoulder holster
-fake guns that don't look like crap (again, probably too poor XD)

Also, I am totally wearing Rufus to this because Rufus is awesome and classy and would totally go to fancy concerts with his bodyguard.

What did you make the Sailor Uranus skirt out of? I see a lot of cosplayers make it out of a silk-ish/shiny fabric which is very pretty, but it doesn't allow for pleats. And how did you make that "roll" looking thing at the waist-area of the skirt? I've wanted to cosplay Sailor Saturn, but the skirt looks like AHHHH. lol

I'm using this (http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog.jsp?CATID=cat2968&PRODID=prd7208) fabric in cobalt blue - it's really nice, because it's a bit heavier than a lot of other satins, and it's less shiny. It also pleats pretty well - [livejournal.com profile] grayhour and I used it for a good chunk of the Subaru/Seishirou wedding kimonos (http://www.tokyo-tower.org/photos/wedding/) - I don't have a lot of good shots of them, but you can see the hakama pleating here (http://www.tokyo-tower.org/photos/wedding/fv2.jpg).

The hip roll thing I cannot help you with yet, as I'm trying to work out the leotard bit first XD
