09:50 Bucket wow...it's getting hard to see out!
09:50 Bucket not terribly hard, but the trees behind the parking lot are kinda faded.
09:50 Bucket having hot cocoa and a leftover slice of tiramisu cake I had yesterday
11:47 UltraMatt I always seem to get sick during the holidays ~_~
19:53 Bucket starcat: The pattern I used that has the shoulder puffs like on Ami's sailor ***u shirt is out of print but you can get it from McCalls directly or on Ebay.
19:53 Bucket http://www.mccallpattern.com/item/M5322.htm??tab=out_of_print/tops_vests&page=2
19:54 Bucket it's view A, I used it as the shirt for my Maggey Byrde waitress costume
19:54 starcat well
19:54 starcat I just need the sleeves.
19:54 starcat That's it.
19:54 starcat And really just the top of the sleeves.
19:55 starcat Do you have any patterns with normal straight sleeves that you could maybe compare...?
19:55 Bucket hmm
19:56 Bucket there is one in that same packet that has the normal sleeves
19:57 Bucket but hold on I'm gonna pull out another one that I have
19:57 Bucket

19:58 Bucket ...actually no.
19:58 Bucket that one has gathered tops as well
19:58 starcat Yeah
19:58 starcat actually
19:58 starcat the long sleeves on that are exactly what I was looking for
19:58 Bucket BTW, this is the dress I'm doing, view D:
http://www.simplicity.com/dv1_v4.cfm?design=2789
19:59 starcat I used that for my TAHK dress :)
19:59 starcat makes a nice simple jsk if you leave off the sleeves
19:59 starcat er, D
19:59 starcat but it's basically the same dress with different embellishments
20:00 starcat (just don't forget to lengthen the skirt probably)
20:00 starcat or, no, D has a decent skirt
20:02 Bucket yeah, that's why I chose it
20:02 starcat eh
20:02 starcat skirts are easy to lengthen
20:02 Bucket true
20:02 Bucket The thing is that I hope everything's going to be compatible...
20:03 Bucket my sizes are 38-34-42
20:03 Bucket (or so)
20:03 starcat I wonder if I still have that pattern
20:03 starcat it's got bloomers in it
20:03 Bucket so I have the top cut to Simplicity size 16 and the skirt cut to size 18
20:03 Bucket I bought that pattern just for the bloomers for my sweet loli dress (aka the pink monstrosity)
20:05 Bucket I'm going to try and improvise a black petticoat for it
20:06 Bucket I tried to make one out of strips of tulle, but it was...really hard to work with...
20:06 starcat oh
20:06 starcat petticoats are easy if you don't mind them being odd
20:06 starcat (well, this one would look great with a ruffled overlayer)
20:07 starcat but now it's time for HKO ^^
20:07 starcat before they close the servers
20:08 Bucket oh ****
20:08 Bucket completely ****ing forgot
20:08 Bucket ****
20:09 Bucket ...have fun
20:09 Bucket tomorrow I'll try sewing together that dress
20:10 starcat :D
20:10 starcat good luck
20:12 Bucket after work
