Miyavi Concert Outfit, The Tops

The Miyavi Concert Outfit (MCO) has a two part top. There is a one sleeve tank that I'll knock-off from the preexisting JRR Concert Outfit . Why not use the preexisting green one you ask. Well Grip N Flip would like it in a burn-your-eyes neon pink fabric she got from her babcia (according to Grip N Flip it sounds like bop-chu, it's Polish for grandmother). Well those Polish Grandmothers sure love vibrant burn-your-eye colors!!!!

I traced out the shirt onto on old over sized calendar. I forget which celebrity is staring at me but it was sort of freaky and distracting the whole time. Next time I have to remember to use the back!!

Here is the burn-your-eyes neon pink fabric I'm about to trace out and cut. I don't think this picture is doing justice to the agonizing retina burnout that occurred while I had to work with the fabric.


I ended up having problems finishing the edges for the collar/sleeve section. I believe that section of fabric is on the bias of the fabric and gave it more stretch than I anticipated. I didn't have time to fix it and because this would be the inner shirt I decided that I would deal with that problem another day.

The second top or outer top would be a simple black shirt with buckles at the straps and triangular cut outs. I made a quick tester to work out the details. It's on the dress form that we made last month. The dress form is still a concave slouching mess, as you can you see in the picture. But Grip N Flip was far away and I need a quick model.

The shirt was taken up significantly and buckles for the straps were found at the last minute. The triangular cut outs ended up not working so we decided to do star cutouts. What I did forget to do was leave opening at the waist side seams since this was a non-stretch fabric. Oh well live and learn.
