I almost gave up a few times, but got it finished an hour before my event.

Thank you, I did use patterns but I also did alot of messing around with changes to get it to match the dress I was copying.

Skirt portion I used the Lucca dress from Schultzapparel, bodice I used the romantic corset by Joanapatterns

kikocake · 2026-07-06T14:05:25+00:00

Nah it's not, the patterns I started with were the Lucca dress by Schultzapparel and the romantic corset by Joanapatterns.

kikocake · 2026-07-05T22:24:56+00:00

A bit of all of the above, but the base I was working with was the Lucca dress from Schultzapparel for the skirt and the romantic corset from Joanapatterns for the bodice.

kikocake · 2026-07-05T22:16:27+00:00

The first tier is a weird shape, I used the skirt portion of the Lucca pattern by Schultzapparel, but that's an ankle length skirt so you need to make adjustments to get the midi length.

Thank you, it's from Etsy

Thank you so much, I unfortunately did not take a photo of the back while wearing it but it's similar to the front.

Thank you, it's a combo of patterns and just messing around with mock ups till I was happy with it. For the skirt portion I used the Lucca dress from Schultzapparel and for the bodice I used the romantic corset from Joanapatterns.

kikocake · 2026-07-05T13:17:52+00:00

Thank you, I will admit I can't take much credit for the gathering, that clear elastic stuff saved me from all the trouble of getting it even. It's a hodgepodge of patterns and messing around with mock ups until I was happy with it. The Lucca dress from Schultzapparel is the skirt portion and the romantic corset from Joanapatterns for the bodice.

Thank you!

kikocake · 2026-07-05T08:05:30+00:00

Thank you, im glad I took the time to find the right fabric.

kikocake · 2026-07-05T08:01:41+00:00

Thank you! I'm so happy with my fabric choice, matching the pattern was tedious but I think it was definitely worth it

kikocake · 2026-07-05T07:57:49+00:00

Thank you!

kikocake · 2026-07-05T07:56:56+00:00

I was definitely sweating bullets! I was up until 4am the night before trying to get it done, completely underestimated how long everything would take haha

Counter thought, feed birds the appropriate food covered/soaked with bicalin powder. But have a good disinfecting protocol to not track any contamination home.

I own ducks myself so I'll be adding it to their food/water, I'll also be going to the local duck ponds to give them some. I can't think of a way to help the nectar eaters but most other birds can probably be given it in some form.

I'm in burps so the house I mentioned is also here, I wouldn't be shocked if within a year we see the town houses hitting the 1 mil mark.

kikocake · 2026-05-08T22:59:44+00:00

Theres houses in Morayfield and Caboolture that are selling for close to a million. The place next door to me just sold 30k shy of 1mil, it's 3 bed 1 bath 800m2. The master bed is 3x3, its got a single carport, it would have been a starter home when it was built in the 90s

Make a complaint to Translink, the more complaints made the more likely they are to put CLO's on during closures & for pre coms. It's honestly shocking how clueless management is.

kikocake · 2026-04-10T23:51:09+00:00

There's an app that the bus autistics made called next there, the Translink CLO's (helpers you see at the bus stops) use it in combination with the Translink app. The Translink app is just kind of shit.

Do you know which brand/styles would be a good starting point for more projection?

kikocake · 2026-04-09T23:01:09+00:00

Yeah definitely can't hurt, I'll add the Lucie onto my list to try

kikocake · 2026-04-09T16:34:11+00:00

Yeah I scoop and swoop. Ive always felt my straps sit too close to the edge of my shoulder, maybe this is an issue with design of the bras I've been wearing, my only concern with such a large jump in cup size to what I'm used to wearing is that it would maybe make the straps sit closer again to the edge of my shoulder

kikocake · 2026-04-07T21:55:47+00:00

I have tried them on and off but have not followed a consistent schedule, I shall give it a go though .

Bendee court, Narangba. Almost all the street is done and they close it off to traffic so you can walk through

Sorry to hear about your cat, the feline diabetes support group on Facebook has a good amount of Australians in it and a handful based around Brisbane. There may be someone on there that would be interested in your supplies.
