Recycled Asian Costume: Construction

Today was a very productive day! We were able to finish covering the skirt with the first precautionary layer of pink tissue paper. After finishing that, we completed garment test #1, with the results below.



There were some slight problems, but those will be easy to fix. I hope... The garment test was very useful. Now, we know exactly what we need to change at this stage in construction of the costume. So then, we won't have as many problems as we progress through the stages.

After the test, we also noticed that the first layer of tissue paper was not sturdy at all, so we covered with another layer of cellophane. We plan to add one more layer of purple tissue paper and then cover the final skirt with cellophane.
