Drummer Girl

So for textiles I have decided on what I'm going to do, and I have started putting everything together so all is going good at the moment :)

My pattern Inspiration

 So the pattern I'm using as an inspiration as a military drummer girl. This is what I've got in mind - and sorry for the bad rendering because i can't find anything better.

my initial draft

As you guys can see, there would be the fringing epaulets and also metallic lines on the front of the vest. The frilly bodice and the skirt would be gone though because I couldn't imagine myself with that. There are also some fake pockets- which come in the form of flaps- on either sides of the vest. and to top it off there would be a belt and I'd wear bandage tights that sarah has ordered for me already. Excited? heck yeah I am :) I have already started making the vest and the shoulders but the interface is so super thin that now i have to scout for thick interface for my shoulders. BECAUSE I DON'T WANT THEM TO FLOP DOWN. 

worst comes to worst I'm resorting to adding cardboard in between the fabric ahahahs.
But im going to try to recount about everything that I do to this costume. So stay tuned :DD
