I'm planning to go to CostumeCon, too. It'll be my first one, and I plan to
make a few things to wear there, but I'm still trying to figure out what I
should make for it (other than my one Impressive Gown, and that piratish
coat I've been meaning to make all this past year but never got around to
even starting). I'm planning to attend the whole weekend, since Yay! It's
local for me, and Boo, I doubt I'll make it to another one anytime soon as I
don't travel well lately.
I'd say let's all figure out a way to meet up while we're there, but I
expect we'll all be meeting in Robin's classes, anyway!
Here's what I'm planning to make for my Impressive Gown (yes, it must be
capitalized, as I've been planning it for years now):

Being saintswear, though, it's a bit hard to figure out a way to engineer it
as an actual outfit, but not trying to use period construction techniques
should help a lot. I'd planned to bead the breastband, but since all I've
done so far is finally pick out all the fabrics (copper/eggplant dupioni,
purple/black taffeta, orange rayon dupioni overlayed with gold/purple silk
organza, magenta sari 'silk') that'll be involved, it doesn't look like
that's going to happen by March. I have yet to figure out what I'm going to
do for headwear, either, sigh...
