Seamstress of Gondolin

I'm so proud of this closure, you have no idea 😊 Overall, my S1 Dolores skirt is shaping up nicely, only need to adjust the pleats in the back some, but then this will be ready for hemming 🤞🏻 #doloresabernathy #doloresabernathycosplay #westworld #westworldcosplay #cosplay #cosplaywip #wip #sewing https://www.instagram.com/p/BuGVkJ5jj3v/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p7n0hvrspg0b

Totally lucked out and found these vintage Victorian buttons to use for season 1 Dolores' bodice. I'm soooo happy there are enough in this lot for the entire bodice and cuffs 👌🏻 #doloresabernathy #doloresabernathycosplay #westworld #westworldcosplay #cosplay #cosplaywip #wip #sewing https://www.instagram.com/p/BuBTM8nHdqD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=iwfv4mgkvfsi

Ahhhhhh, it worked!!! My dye bath with the weirdest mix ratio of colors I've ever worked with resulted in the perfect blue for Dolores 🙌🏻 😍 #doloresabernathy #doloresabernathycosplay #westworld #westworldcosplay #cosplay #cosplaywip #wip #sewing https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt8FT7ID2zV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1un9gdvk3trut

If the 10 yards of fabric I'm dyeing right now will look like this once they're all dry I'll be one happy camper 🤞🏻 #doloresabernathy #doloresabernathycosplay #westworld #westworldcosplay #cosplay #cosplaywip #wip #sewing https://www.instagram.com/p/BtvHDK2I64c/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5zgquab306y2

Belt buckles for Dolores are here 🙌🏻 Let's get to weathering them... #doloresabernathy #doloresabernathycosplay #westworld #westworldcosplay #cosplay #cosplaywip #wip #sewing https://www.instagram.com/p/BtqDgm2IX-x/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uvs51kfmfgdu

I can't tell you how pleased I am with how Dolores is coming together so far 😍 #doloresabernathy #doloresabernathycosplay #westworld #westworldcosplay #cosplay #cosplaywip #wip #sewing https://www.instagram.com/p/BtnLv4LoyCq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7ou6afn2vl

These pintucks took forever 🙈 And they gave me serious war flashbacks to when I was making my Jyn Erso cosplay last year... But both blouses for Dolores S1 and S2 are done and they look lovely 😊 #doloresabernathy #doloresabernathycosplay #westworld #westworldcosplay #cosplay #cosplaywip #wip #sewing https://www.instagram.com/p/BtiAAkDD_R-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bty4t0r2kytt

One corset is done, yay 🙌🏻 Now on to finishing the one for S2 Dolores... #doloresabernathy #doloresabernathycosplay #westworld #westworldcosplay #cosplay #cosplaywip #wip #sewing https://www.instagram.com/p/Btd8JI6jwqf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8vxfxeaj0mss

Making some custom-bias tape to bind the edges of my Dolores corsets... I haven't done this since Picnic Padme and I certainly didn't miss it at all 🙈 #doloresabernathy #doloresabernathycosplay #westworld #westworldcosplay #cosplay #cosplaywip #wip #sewing https://www.instagram.com/p/BtcCQKxDrkX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=b35j7q7omf6x

Screen accurate belt blank for Dolores has been acquired 💪🏻#doloresabernathy #doloresabernathycosplay #westworld #westworldcosplay #cosplay #cosplaywip #wip #sewing https://www.instagram.com/p/BtQAqqgjW0_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bft5yegoj8x4

Both of my Dolores corsets are almost done and they turned out so good 😍 #doloresabernathy #doloresabernathycosplay #westworld #westworldcosplay #cosplay #cosplaywip #wip #sewing https://www.instagram.com/p/BtNdEwTjMif/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ivlax0oa7x64

Aaaall the layers have been cut out for Dolores' corset - times two 🙈 #doloresabernathy #doloresabernathycosplay #westworld #westworldcosplay #cosplay #cosplaywip #wip #sewing https://www.instagram.com/p/BtHgXX6Ddv2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xupp6ipuzuo0

We're in pintuck hell again... They look so pretty but they're such a pain to do because of the relatively small size... #doloresabernathy #doloresabernathycosplay #westworld #westworldcosplay #cosplay #cosplaywip #wip #sewing https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs4zROGjZ_P/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x8316xunfnk6

Speaking of Dolores' corset: my screen accurate coutil for Dolores' corset came in 👌🏻 I'm high key afraid of making a mistake when cutting out the pattern and wasting fabric... We'll see how long I'm going to procrastinate on starting this 🙈 #doloresabernathy #doloresabernathycosplay #westworld #westworldcosplay #cosplay #cosplaywip #wip #sewing https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs0SPi4jJjd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1h47kcw6wsvkm

Spent the majority of the day tweaking the pattern and making a mockup for Dolores's corset 😊 #doloresabernathy #doloresabernathycosplay #westworld #westworldcosplay #cosplay #cosplaywip #wip #sewing https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsz8zn8Dgnp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1r34ckf3g3gu4

My main fabric for Dolores arrived, yay 😊 Now the wait is on until my three dye options for this project get here... Now, why do I have a feeling that nailing that colour is not going to be particularly easy? 🙈 #doloresabernathy #doloresabernathycosplay #westworld #westworldcosplay #cosplay #cosplaywip #wip #sewing https://www.instagram.com/p/BsoYbHMDGyq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=iwus6pnfm247
