It’s Happening ✨

So far I’ve almost finished the base dress which I will then sew the gold sections onto.

Before I do that, I am going to take the dress in at the waist a little more (as it is slightly too big (my mum thinks it’s fine but I hate things hanging loosely around my waist)).

I’ll also make the cape before I do the gold (so I don’t have to change thread 😅).

For fabric I ended up going with cheap-and-cheerful economy satin. It’s a little shinier than I wanted, but crepe-back satin is £7.99 a metre (x115cm) and this stuff is £2.99 a metre (x150cm), which I think explains it.

I could have also turned the fabric inside out to use the dulled side, but I wanted the shine for the gold and didn’t really want shiny stuff on the inside next to my skin😖.

For the back I only opened it up to the braline, because I don’t hate myself that much and quite frankly I can’t go braless.

I’ve also been taking some footage of the making of this dress, so that I can make myself a little “the making of” video 🥰.

I’ve decided that one of my next sewing projects will be this dress.

Adora’s Future Ball Dress

Whether this is a good idea or not, only time will tell.

However, I was wondering if any other cosplayers or sewers had any advice as to what fabric would be best.

Right now I’m thinking crepe-back satin as it has a gentle shine, a nice texturised finish and would look right for the gold sections.

However, it also has a one-way stretch to it, which I think could be helpful in a dress like this, but having worked with it a couple of times now I know that it’s a little bit volatile 😰.

There’s also the matter of needing a lining in order to get the sweetheart neckline.

I also plan on only making the back open down to the braline as I want to have as much comfort in this as possible.

Anyway this might sound just like ramblings and thoughts but I was wondering if anyone had any fabric ideas or thoughts ✨

MY BENEFITS HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED AND I DESPERATELY NEED HELP!!

MY BENEFITS HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED AND I DESPERATELY NEED HELP!!

*URGENT: PLEASE READ/SIGNAL BOOST*

Saturday, March 7th: Hello everyone, I’m Gemma and sincerely apologize to be asking for help again but, things have unfortunately gone from bad to worse for me and I desperately need help.

As most of you are already aware, I have been struggling financially for quite some time due to my welfare benefits being revoked, under the UK’s controversial changes to how benefits are assessed and assigned. And due to my mental health and some unfortunate DWP mess-ups, my benefits have been on and off sanctions for over a year now.

And despite receiving the results of my medical assessment earlier last month, which stated that I have a limited capability for work due to my persistent low mood and extreme fatigue, my benefits have been suspended without warning or reason. I am currently trying to appeal the decision and make a new claim. However, that will take a few weeks to be processed, and I am also trying to apply for PIP/ESA, which is another long and complicated process.

I currently don’t have any finances to pay anything, and I’m quite literally on the verge of a breakdown, as I am drowning in red notices and final demands, as I used to only get £128 per month and that wasn’t enough to cover my rent and bills leaving me in heavy debt. And I recently had to have my broken electricity meter replaced, I will receive the bill for this sometime next week. *evidence can be provided*

And at the moment, I desperately need help to keep my utilities on, pay my electricity bill and my rent and I also have groceries to get and it would really mean a lot to me if I could get some help. My goal is £600 to help me get by until my benefits are reinstated, hopefully in April.

If anyone could spare any amount to help me, even if it’s just £1/$1/€1, it would literally save my life, and sharing definitely helps just as much as donations. Nobody is obligated in any way to donate if they can’t or don’t want to, I know we’re all struggling.

Thank you for your help 💖

£262/£600!!

Thanatophobia Thoughtdump

1. If we are able to worry about it, it means we are alive right now.

2. Don’t try to envision what’s beyond it, unless you’re religious, because it’s physically impossible. Our brains don’t have the capability to imagine it.

3. I try to distract myself with the political world, as it’s much faster-paced and very grounding in how it changes so quickly.

4. Yes, I am terrified, and wondering how everyone else is happy, but then I have to remember that many of us haven’t truly lived yet. Many of us have been resigned to quiet, boring lives by overprotective parents.

5. It mostly hits you the strongest when you’re the least satisfied with your life; when there’s so much you want to achieve but you don’t want the time to pass in order for you to be able to.

6. Life is an A-Z, NOT an A-B.

7. It’s time we went searching for life’s peripheral, rather than just the tunnel.

8. Obligatory the-school-system-has-failed-us: life is prepared until you turn 18 and most children see that as being forever away. I reached 16 and then felt wrong going any further. Education for children is often centred around “don’t do this or you will DIE and it’ll be HORRIBLE” which is fine to prevent a toddler from doing something, but completely forgets that one day that toddler is going to grow up.

9. Today is in its own bubble, and I’m going to try and believe I’m okay.
