That's so awesome! I'm hoping to find a better alt for the parka, but the last time I went to my cosplay store (I get most of my things from there xD) they didn't have one. I love the one I have now, but I'd like to have one that's a bit more SA. Do you think you could post a close up picture of the hem of yours? I feel like it's a bit weird on mine, but I don't know if it's supposed to be like that or if the last person altered it.
I also bought a navy jacket for my Cold War cosplay that I really need to start working on. xD

It's too bad Charlotte Russe sold out of the jacket I bough, because it's absolutely perfect. I love mine so much I decided to keep it it's original colour. I hope you find a good alt! It too me three weeks of searching to find mine!

It is too bad. It's going to be so nice when the Charlotte Russe opens in my local mall. Then I won't have to order so much and I can just use cash. I hope I find one soon, although the one I have is still pretty good.

I can certainly take pictures of the hem for you. I found a couple of alts so I'm going to keep the best one when they both get here and I'll post pictures when I get it all done!

I know I have no hope in hell of finding the SA boots or parka for BoSJ so once my dress is here and dyed it'll be as SA as I can get it. I'm really excited!

Yeah, I love the parka to no end, but unless I strike it rich and become a millionaire and find it on eBay at the same time it's not going to be very likely. Same way with the boots. Darn All Saints for being so gorgeous and expensive. I'm so nervous about dyeing the dress. I really don't want to botch it up and have to get another one. I still need to get off my lazy bum and find a decent pair of alt boots instead of my combat boots that aren't even remotely close to SA. xD
My Hide alt should be here by next Wednesday. I'm hoping it's here before the 25th so I can add it to my 50th Anniversary Cosplay Week line up.

I believe I posted them over in the great alts thread. They are wicked comfy and the price was great!

Yeah, I need to see if my Walmart has them. Last time I checked they didn't, but considering how it's boot weather now, they might have them back in stock.

I've found some great boots on eBay but I have to wait until payday to even contemplate it I'm nervous about dyeing the dress too but I've asked around for colour suggestions. I'll just follow what it says on the packet

A few stores nearby have some good alts, but I probably won't be able to buy them until after Thanksgiving.
Yeah. I think I'm going to dye it after Thanksgiving, or else I'll probably be nice and stressed out which probably isn't a good thing to be if you're dyeing a dress. xD I've got to order the dye still, though. I'd like to find a cardigan to go with it so I can wear it to a few Christmas parties. It seems like that'd be a good dress to wear, with it being red and all. xD
I've also got to work on my Christmas special outfit. I bought a dress that I was going to use instead of a skirt, and cover it up with a white button front shirt, but when I tried it on last night, it ended up not working. So I'm probably going to have to buy another skirt (which I don't mind to do. The one I had wasn't particularly SA) and find a cardigan which has been one of THE HARDEST things to find. I'd love to get the SA one, but I don't have the money to spend 60 dollars on it, plus shipping, unfortunately. Although it's so gorgeous, I'd love to get my hands on it. I'm hoping that it'll pop up on eBay and I can snag it then, but it probably won't be for a while.

Is the bottom hemmed? I can't tell on the pictures.

It isn't hemmed, it's just cut off

Okay, thank you. I wasn't sure because mine had just been cut off, and I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be hemmed or not. Thanks!
