 1 Photo by christineroselli on Flickr. Taken on the USS Intrepid in NYC. The costumes are the real ones from the movie - this is not the group I'm with.
|  2 My hat, shoes, and fabrics for the costume. "Hi! I want to make a Captain America..." View Comments...
|  3 Pleated panels... lots of pleated panels! 12 red and 12 white for 24 total.
|
 4 I pinned it to the ironing board during ironing to avoid the fabric from shifting.
|  5 Pleated, hemmed, and ready to sew into a skirt! All of this took at least 3 hours from cutting to this photo.
|  6 SKIRT! Another 2 hours later and this part is done.
|
 7 Bodice pattern pieces. Based off a simplicity pattern.
|  8 Hat - check, lapels - check, dress - check! Just need to get that belt finished and make the petticoat. The skirt is very flat looking without it.
|  9 Bodice attached to the skirt. The skirt layer is sandwiched between the bodice fabric and lining. The real costumes had raw, ugly edges. This is a lot more finished and nice looking ;-)

 10 Shiny! I actually glued my stars on with e-6000. They are NOT coming off for anything!

|  12 Trying it on to mark the back closure area. I hadn't finished the belt yet in this shot.

 13 The dress is done! I just need the petticoat! "hi i was just wondering i want to ma..." View Comments...

|  15 Petticoat Poly Organza trimmed in Wrights brand red bias trim. The skirt is two layers.

 16 The costume is DONE! It's so cute!
