Construction Details:

I pulled this costume together in couple of days and am not entirely happy with it. For CJMC in Monterrey, Mexico, I wanted to have a comfortable costume to wear, and as a big fan of Resident Evil and well as the characters Leon Kennedy and Ada Wong, I thought this would be a good outfit to make. I used a matte satin for the dress, which is partially lined (to the hips) and top-stitched. The designs were hand painted on and the outlines are embroidered, and the dress laces up (I swear it looks this way in all the artwork and videos) with eyelets in the back. I couldn't find red eyelets and didn't want to use chrome, so I hand bound all the eyelets in burgundy thread. The gun is a modified airsoft handgun with laser which we matched up in a store with a professional, lol. He thought it was for Halloween of course. I found the shoes after trying on a million pumps that were all too big, and added the criss-cross straps. The wig was ordered off eBay and then cut by me. The scarf was made of black chiffon. The holster should be temporary until I either decide to re-make the dress or just learn to deal with it. It was cool to have another evening dress gun costume to run around in :)
