In other words, extraordinarily well done.

Oh, this is just awesome! You made this? And are modeling this? Did you get to keep it? Lucky you. What fabrics did you use?

I made and modelled it.
I did get to keep it, since it was for a class at school.

The fabrics were knits of some sort. My teacher asked me what sort of thing I wanted, and I told her. She got the fabrics for us. One is just black, the other is a gunmetal-colored pleather-type fabric.

Well, it's really pretty and you look very sexy in them, pardon my saying so. I wish I could sew that well.

No offense taken! That was part of the point of the outfit, the balance between sexuality and death.

Sewing isn't really that hard, though I had a little help from my teacher. Looking at patterns in books, and the way the seams work in your own clothing will help. An example here is that the skit in the photo was based shapewise off of a skirt I had at the time, so I could look at the one I owned for ideas on how to do the one for the outfit.

Which is good, considering the whole Morrigan theme... And I was just being cautiously polite because some people get offended when someone of the same gender calls them sexy. I've learned to be cautions.

Yeah, some of the simpler things I can do, and I've just figured out how to do boning and stuff for a corset I made, but the more complicated stuff is currently beyond me, and the fact that I don't have a sewing machine and have to do it all by hand makes it very slow going.

Sewing clothing by hand is yeah, really slow going. The Pillow Golem in my gallery is all done by hand; it took the better part of a week to finish. (The sewing machine at camp was broken, and the costume had to be done by a certain date)

Embroidery by hand seems to take significantly less time, though I suppose that's because of the style I do.

Yeah, it doesn't help that I'm ADD, so I get really easily distracted from sewing.
