    My new blue cat

    So this is devastatingly hot and actually looks damn good on me (Mae West)....small problem...need a bit more gold cheetah/leapord and/or bright royal blue mesh to add to the boob dam effect. Know where I can get some??? *crosses appendages*

    This photo is of Aradia and she is very petite. While my "real estate" is not "deeper" my "lot" is much wider with a good deal more street frontage.

    Here's some royal blue mesh:

    Spandex World Inc. spandex fabric, lycra stretch fabric

    Here's some leopard:

    Spandex World Inc. spandex fabric, lycra stretch fabric

    I love Spandexworld and have ordered from them in the past.

    Can't wait to see photos of you in this costume. It's gorgeous!

    wow...swatches in the mail too!!! Cool! I will be sending for those. I hope the mesh is more vibrant in person...it looks a little dusty on my monitor compared to the dress. Remember..Anal is me -with out the a!

    They had some leopard print mesh too. That might be interesting instead of trying to match the existing fabric exactly.

    I'm betting the royal is more vibrant in person. Having bought from them in the past, their photos can look a little darker than the fabric does in person. I just got some dove grey stretch velvet from them for a client and it was much more impressive in person.

    I think a lovely gold shimmery mesh could be an option. You could add beads in the various colors on the dress to pull the look together. Maybe a gold mesh sleeve, too. Loved the following remarks: While my "real estate" is not "deeper" my "lot" is much wider with a good deal more street frontage. . . Anal is me -with out the a!

    Thats a good idea as well! Does anyone know what glissenet is?

    Glissenet would be ideal. It is not as tight as the 4-way stretch powermesh, it's much lighter and easier to work with. Wonderful product. It might be a good option for the underbust shrug type tops you make with sleeves.

    I thought she'd bought a cat that matched most of her costumes, to cut down on dramatic pet-hair embarassment.

    How are things going with Mom in the house? Have you found a routine that works most of the time? (I'm trying not to mention Nair for your Mom's Yetti-back.)

    Glissenet tends to snag easily.
