This costume would be good for short people so they don,t have to hunch
But it is away cool deal..
I could also see it being used as Headless Nick, or Ichabod Crane. lol
Yay!!! Finally an advantage to being 5'3"!!!!!! Well it's about time! I'm dying to make this costume. I've showed my mom to get her thinking. I'm ok with everything but casting the shoulder piece. I have absolutely no knowledge of casting. But we'll see how it goes.
I have been thinking of a costume like this for a few years now. My wife just won't participate - and she is 4'11.
If cost is no object, the backpack I would use would be similar to http://www.arucsystems.com/
I love this backpack for this application but at 200 bucks its pretty expensive.
I am not so sure I would do the casting either. I would try and get a store mannequin or partial mannequin.
Something like http://www.buystoreshelving.com/fema...orms/index.htm
which costs around 30 bucks for a plastic female headless torso- but you may find cheaper at a dept store thats closing or the local thrift store or ebay.

DG thanks for that resource for the shoulders!! That makes it much easier for me. The casting looks like more trouble than it is worth, I think.
I'm thinking of trying this costume, but changing it to Anne Boleyn instead. I'm half English and Henry and his wives are some of my favorites. Does anyone know of a cheap place to purchase the "B" Anne Boleyn necklace? I found one online but it's $192!!! OUch
Ooh I like it Pandora, I am going to get some shoulders too, for something else though. I am going to be looking in thrift store tomorrow, if I see any I will let you know.

Hey Pandora, Searched all over for the bust form. Can't beat the price from the site so I ordered a full torso in flesh tone from the site posted. 25 bucks. I'm using it for my headless bride. You can get the shoulder there as well. You should get those for your costume. The costume link makes it very involved for the casting and I think it is worth it to just buy the form already done. Besides after the costum you can make good use out of the form for something else. Let me know what you decide. Hey and thanks to DETROIT GRASS for the link, that was very helpful. I love how on this forum everyone shares their ideas and great sites that they find.

Hey Pandora, post a pic of the necklace. There is a place here that sells stuff like that. I will look for you, but I need a picture of what I'm looking for,

Found the necklace on e-bay for 24.99 faux of course but it looks like the one in all of her paintings. Looked it up
