Princess seams
After all the angst I had over putting princess seams on my old Rita Skeeter costume, I turned up some more images of the original recently and the damn thing DOES have princess seams. VINDICATED. The skirt is also longer than I'd thought. Oh well. Also found some good images of her second costume, the suede one; I'd thought it had some kind of ( Read more... ) -

Katsu
I don't think anybody who's going to Katsu is still reading LJ, but in case you are: I'll be there Saturday only. Judging most of the afternoon/evening.
