Julie and I got lucky and managed to secure the necessary components for Chiaki and Rinoa today - the duster-fabric is actually a swimwear remmnant, strangely enough, which means it'll be a bitch to sew, but it's a great shade of blue, and while the ribbing isn't super-wide, it's bigger than most, and nice and visible.

Sewing-wise, I got Chiaki's leg warmers done, as well as the sleeves for the dress (harder than it sounds, they've got some weird-ass seams on them), and we tried to make the miniskirt, but apparently I fail at figuring in hems into my calculations, and it ended up about an inch and a half too narrow. So we're going to have to start that one over again. Next up - the weird bustline on Chiaki's dress, and the duster.
