I couldn't decide which photo was the best one. Guess I'll have to see them all side by side...I got smarter while taking the photos--I got rid of the harsh shadows cast by the sun by using a piece of paper to bounce light back to the shadows on her face. These photos are a thousand times better than the first photos I took of Zira on her original Planet of the Apes costume with the eel skin leather. Also, I finalized the frog closures. They are no longer "working frogs" as they had started originally--I rewatched the movie and realized that the frogs on her jacket were just decorations.
The arm holes in the above photos were originally blanket stitched but look unfinished but I have added some trim to them now and they look better. Guess you see all the details when you take such closeups. Anyway, I am happy with the photos I just took.
If the sun is shining tomorrow, I will take a better portrait of Julius now that the broom I have made for him has been painted black. I also painted an M on the soldier outfit...so I might take more photos of that as well.
