I love Illyria's outfit and thanks to my friend Emily, this once dream is quickly turning into reality. :D
I was out in Chicago this past weekend for bodysuit fitting, pattern making, make up testing, and all the other doo dads needed. Emily has more progress pics than I, but here is what I have. :)
Fabric for the quilted pieces and red Ultraleather:

The bodysuit arms with lower arms pattern pinned on:

A make up test... maybe we should of waited until the morning instead of doing it late Friday night after I had driven 4 hours, stuffed myself on Greek food, and played with kittens. LOL!
Looking surly

Looking snobby

Emily applied a white base, then airbrushed me blue. My lips are painted blue and are obviously too dark. We went shopping and found a pale blue eyeshadow that will work and will be sealed with a clear but pearlesent lip gloss. Looks MUCH better. :)
We're still looking into ways to streak my hair. The airbrush looks okay for blending and around the roots but we want to avoid airbrushing all my streaks. We tried Hot Head Streak'n Wash-Out Hair Colour Electric Blue but it was too runny and didn't stand out. So we picked up Jerome Russell B-wild! Temporary Color Spray Bengal Blue. I'll give that a try and see what happens. :)
The end product for those unfamilier with the character:
