Crafty Procrastination: Shion part san (updated)

I have finished the shirt. The only thing I may do is mess with the collar a bit by tacking it shorter since I left enough length on it to mess with later. I serged the sides and the collar to the shirt without breaking a needle! (knock on wood).

I went back to walmart and got three packs of needles for the serger. I may have been having issues because I was using the wrong sized needle for a project. Although I'm starting to think my problem was not oiling it. I read online that you are supposed to oil every month if you aren't using it frequently and every project if you are. We'll see how this holds up for now.

The only things I have left for this costume is just a few little things. I need very low heel white pumps, stockings (that is the only way I'll leave the house in a skirt that short...) and her signature gold necklace.
For the necklace, I'm not completely convinced it's not attached to the shirt, however I think with a bit of scouting I can find some cheap jewelry to alter. For the most part all of my cheap jewelry comes from the hair store since most of their necklaces and bracelets and earrings are under $3 each.

This was a really short project so I'm thinking ahead already... really far ahead.. to next Halloween. In the mood for trying to pull off some sort of fighter I've been re-watching Xena and would love to dress like her but the costume seems very complicated to make it realistic. Then I started thinking maybe a video game character like Chun-Li...
