In the meantime, I'm working on a shirt for Owen, and I've painted the edges of the blue flower petals that are going to be sewn onto the underskirt. The petals are from a blue poinsettia I purchased many years ago specially for the first Queen of the Night costume. The veining in the petals reminded me of the underbelly of a dragon. I wish I'd bought more of them, as I've never seen them again. Fortunately I do have enough petals for my Asa's gown, but I'll have to use the less pointy ones I didn't use last time. After painting any light edges a dark blue, I brushed on some silver glitter paint.
I have to design the pattern for Asa's underskirt, but am not sure yet what length to make it. I want to switch Asa's body with my new Leona who has the newer JID girl body and the larger glamour bust. The new bodies stand about 1/2 taller at the shoulder than the old bodies, so the skirts will need to be lengthened accordingly. I'm going to use Leona to design the skirt patterns.
