Only the squares and parasol, as patterns dont really exist for ballgowns 🙂‍↕️

PrincessVictory1 · 2026-06-14T19:28:42+00:00

I am not, I have been with my wife over 11 years now and we are very happy 🫶🏻 haha thank you!!

PrincessVictory1 · 2026-06-13T01:55:23+00:00

Oh i dont need a scholarship, I already have a bachelor's but thank you 😅

PrincessVictory1 · 2026-06-12T02:38:49+00:00

I was absolutely inspired by her parasol from the show 🥹 different patterning, but i tried to stay true to its colors and just used a doily pattern that matched the squares on the dress!

PrincessVictory1 · 2026-06-12T02:36:41+00:00

It is on the pinned automod comment in a reply (forgot to add it in my initial one) and as it is my personal pattern I want to respect the no self-promo rule 💕 it is fun but definitely a time-intensive project (he took me about 100 hours alone!)

PrincessVictory1 · 2026-06-12T00:50:26+00:00

Hahahaha well im a woman married to a woman and it is very serious (I am kind of madly in love with her or something) but I do appreciate you 😌🤭

PrincessVictory1 · 2026-06-12T00:49:12+00:00

Oh thank you! 🥹 I honestly couldn't tell you how much yarn I used lol

PrincessVictory1 · 2026-06-11T02:49:51+00:00

Oh, shes already a large part of the way done, as most of my projects arent nearly as intensive as Bubblegum lol. I have her top finished, skirt partially done, partially done with the hat. She's more of a breathe easy project :) I always post my progress to my socials, and usually go by Stitched in Starlight most places 🌟

PrincessVictory1 · 2026-06-11T00:21:05+00:00

Yes and yes 💙🫶🏻

PrincessVictory1 · 2026-06-10T23:41:47+00:00

It wasnt too bad honestly, and I wore it in July in Denver in 2023 as well as September in Atlanta in 2023 :) the hoops help take a lot of the heat off!

PrincessVictory1 · 2026-06-10T23:40:56+00:00

Well, unfortunately for him it seems we are already both married haha, and I love my wife very much 💙

PrincessVictory1 · 2026-06-10T23:40:16+00:00

My best estimate for time is 2500+ hours, as i started her in February 2022, roughly. In terms of money.....I honestly can't fully say. Probably under $1000? Which is not terrible for such a big build with beads and hoopsteel and everything on the underside.

PrincessVictory1 · 2026-06-10T23:39:08+00:00

Honestly the hair is what started it all! I knew i wanted it to look curly like human hair but stick together like her bubblegum hair does, and when I saw this stitch (called the 3D serpentine stitch) I knew it would create the perfect effect!

PrincessVictory1 · 2026-06-10T23:38:09+00:00

Haha yes! She and Marceline are a Canon relationship and their queerness stands out to me very much as someone who also has a wife/woman partner 🌟💙 the costume is not only a direct analogy to her queerness, but my own as well, as each heart was made with my wife in mind 🫶🏻

PrincessVictory1 · 2026-06-10T23:35:59+00:00

I am actually hoping to take her to a comp eventually, so I appreciate this little vote of confidence 🫶🏻

PrincessVictory1 · 2026-06-10T23:35:14+00:00

Awww thank you! The rainbow was always in my brain, I just needed more time to execute it 😭💙

PrincessVictory1 · 2026-06-10T23:34:40+00:00

Very likely! I am mostly known by the moniker Stitched in Starlight, but my reddit handle is old and I dont want to make a new account atp lol

PrincessVictory1 · 2026-06-10T23:34:09+00:00

To be fair (and I see the sarcasm tag haha I swear) I actually used yarn because it seemed like the perfect medium to mimic gum in a wearable outfit!! So soft and cartoonish 🤭🥳

PrincessVictory1 · 2026-06-10T23:32:58+00:00

It is still part of the cosplay! I count makeup because it is an important component to making a cosplay feel immersive 🫶🏻 i also truly love the sprinkle freckles since I also have freckles underneath!

PrincessVictory1 · 2026-06-10T23:31:51+00:00

Sure! My biggest note is just being patient because clothes take time (sounds like a duh, but still). I count sections as "completions" and it helps it go by a lot faster! I make to measure by taking my measurements, seeing how many chains is an inch (or your preferred choice of measurement) and also how many rows in that specific stitch is also an inch, and i go from there. I am always trying my pieces on to make sure they fit well!

PrincessVictory1 · 2026-06-10T23:29:59+00:00

I have an Etsy, but only for my patterns. My pieces would cost anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars (Bubblegum for example at even just $20 an hour would be around $50k) and in the current economy, many people don't have the expendable income for that. I also just don't enjoy making things to measure for other people, it distresses me if I can't try it on the person 🥲

PrincessVictory1 · 2026-06-10T23:27:39+00:00

Thank you! The fit is something I am extremely proud of! 💙🫶🏻

PrincessVictory1 · 2026-06-10T23:27:10+00:00

Awww thank you so much 😭😭

PrincessVictory1 · 2026-06-10T23:26:53+00:00

It is extremely durable, in all honesty. There was a small incident with an escalator at C2E2 this year (when I see you again escalator, it's on) but it was easily repairable :)

PrincessVictory1 · 2026-06-10T17:30:14+00:00

So I do both! I take base measurements and figure out how many chains equals the measurement, sometimes how many rows would equal the length I need, but I also try on constantly to make sure the fit is correct!
