This is just a quick announcement that starting next week, July 28th every Monday I will do a "Maintenance Monday" post. Maintenance Monday posts will surprise, surprise be about costume maintenance. In other words: fixing stuff that got broken at a con and making something better that I had to rush or found a better way to do, etc. They'll be posts about making the costumes I already have better.
Here's a preview of what I'll be writing about next week.
I just got this in the mail yesterday. These are ventilating needles and the holder. You can use these to add a custom hairline to a lace front wig, or in my case a semi-lace front wig. This week I'm going to add the widows peak to my Raven cosplay wig. I used Epic Cosplay's Eros wig for that costume.
I bought a white wig for the first one and dyed it with ink and then added a widows peak the easy way, by sewing wefts into the right shape(triangle-ish). I chose to do that because it was faster than the ventilating method, but didn't turn out well... Someone with more experience with wigs could have probably pulled it off, but not me. I ended up not liking the color on the first wig anyway so I bought a new one in Royal Purple and I just never added the widows peak. So this Maintenance Monday I'll be posting some pictures and I'll write about how that's going. Once it's done I'll post both wigs side by side and hopefully we'll see some improvement in my wig handling skills.
See you again soon!
