About this Costume
- Construction Details:
-
The shirt was stitched together from various others purchased at the thrift store in an attempt to get the various colours shown in the movie. I wasn't completely satisfied with some of the shades but con season was fast approaching.
The skirt was done and redone multiple times using a super lightweight hide-like fabric. The boots were slippers (a poor choice for con wear) with stuffed animal fabric cut up and attached to the top.
The skulls and the spikes were molded from lightweight, air dry clay. This was a severely poor choice on my part, due to the amount of clay glued to the skirt, it was incredibly heavy and difficult to sit down in! The shoulder armour was made from craft foam, painted with various metallic shades. - Personal Thoughts:
- Retired unless special circumstance arises.
An incredibly fun costume to wear!
