I apologize for the impromptu hiatus. The semester is winding down and school is becoming more urgent and demanding.
Anyway, something I've been experimenting with is making fabrics glow-in-the-dark to create a cool effect with corsets. Here's what I've learned!
1) always test out the fabric with dryel because it's like dry cleaning it. Also make sure to wash it with dish soap and scrubbing because that way it simulates wear and tear.
2) use copious amounts of hairspray :D it smells nice and it keeps the glow-in-the-dark fabric stiffener in
3) apply the glow-in-the-dark fabric stiffener to the wrong side of the fabric because it leaves a really filmy look
4) test it a lot (but that's the fun part)
5) keep the fabric exposed to light, because otherwise it will lose it's glowing qualities.
