Costume Con Plans

Okay, this is an attempt to plan out what I want to do over the next three and a half months for Costume Con. Now, taking into account classes and a part-time job with my usual speed, I'm going to try for two outfits a month. Once I make a new pair of drawers and finish my fully boned stays, I won't need to factor in undies time. Anyway, here's a tentative schedule.

January:
1840s dresses x2 for Poe
18th century fully boned stays
1780s Chemise à la Reine if I can, otherwise it'll get bumped back where it fits.

February:
1872 Watteau Bustle Gown
1869 Villainess Gown, on the left

March:
1660s Catherine-Charlotte de Gramont, Princess of Monaco for charlesii.
Secret Project for the Masq

April:
1791 Purple Sari Pierrot Jacket and Skirt
1920s Print Silk Dress, adaptation
1957 dress

Of course, if I finish stuff faster than I plan (which I probably will), things will get bumped up. Unfortunately, my budget won't allow for the duchesse satin for the 1660s gown until March, but if I can, the April dresses will get bumped up sooner because I already have the fabric for all of them, leaving more time for the March dresses.

ETA: wow that's a lot of tags. XD

ETA2: I've put up an ij mirror account, but I'm not worried about needing it. It's there just in case. Feel free to friend it.

This does not compute

One of my favorite colors is yellow, more specifically the warmer yellows- buttercups, goldenrods and the like. And I look really good in yellow too, which is a bonus.

And how many yellow things do I have in my closet?

Exactly one, the dress I wore to my winter formal my senior year of high school.

I don't often see yellow things is stores though, and what little there is tends to be a cooler, lemon yellow, which I don't care for. This is also why I don't want to buy any yellow silk online, even though I have four dresses planned that need it, because most of what I've seen is either a lemon or greenish yellow.

Good thing my other favorite, blue, is so easy to find. XD

So, I can't decide between purple or green. Which seems better for a villainess?
