i fucking love piggy banks
So I'm trying to get a flame princess cosplay done before sakura-con. but the front of my car got smashed, so i need to save money to fix that. I decided, i could probably find the basic dress at a thrift store for less than 10 bucks, so i went to see how much change i had in my piggybank. I was able to count out $10.
so i searched every thrift store in the city, and finally found a dres that kiiiiiinda worked if i modified it a bit. it was a little big, didnt have much shape, and was more red than orange. but hey, all the clothes were on sale in that store so i was able to get it for 3 bucks. and then i remembered the fabric bin at another thrift store, so i went there, got the fabric to make the coat vest thing. i also found another fabric for the dress, it was a bit more orange that the dress i got (although still a bit on the red side) plus it had a better texture, so i decided that after modifying the dress i got, i could use it as a pattern to create this new dress. i got all the fabric i needed for 5 bucks. with the remaining 2 bucks, i went to micheals and bought fabric paint to use for the trim on the coat vest thing. i pretty much got all of my materials for my flame princess cosplay for 10 bucks. all i have left are the jewels and the wig.
i did well today.
