Help on a Rikku Costume

Post by Katie Cocoapuff » Sat Jan 22, 2005 12:51 pm

Does anyone know what the best type of fabric is to use for the Rikku's Songstress outfit? Also I need a great pattern, I was thinking about finding a dress pattern and then cutting it. Anyone have any ideas?

I'd use a stretchy material for it or perhaps a polyester or cotton.

Patterns are odd, I don't use them. No help there ^^;;;;

I would use a cotton fabric but really anything that dyes well since you're going to be doing a gradient.
