So… I wanted to upgrade my Odyssey costume. Yes, there are only two events left. No, that doesn’t matter to me. I think it’s important to do what I can between each event.
This is what it looks like roughly assembled with the other kit.

And they looked like this when I laid them out on my lounge floor:
And finally, this is in the middle of pinning the final 20m hem to the bottom of the skirt before sewing it!
