I'm a bug!
They came out a little long, and I'm still playing with different ways of shaping them and placing them, but I like them so much!
I made them as I described earlier: a headband of buckram and millinery wire, covered with black cotton; antennae made of wire padded with wool batting (I had planned to use flannel, but I wanted something puffier) and covered with velvet ribbon.
I put little ribbon loops on the bottom for bobby pins, but the bobby pins were hard to insert and didn't feel very secure, so I ended up using a straight pin in the center. I'll probably use a combo of bobby pins and straight pins when I actually wear this.
I spent pretty much all afternoon sewing this by hand yesterday. I'm glad I got something done on this costume!
I really don't feel like working on the bodice today, but I probably ought to.
