I have added a pic of the holster for your viewing pleasure. As you'll see, its not perfect, but its certainly passable for costume purposes.

Thanks for instructions and the photo. It turned out great! You lost me on the seing though -- I can glue anything but needle and thread and I don't mix well I picked up a leather shears case for hairstylist and I think that may work. Perhaps I'll add embellishments like you did.

For anyone interested in the Sweeney Todd Licensed costume -- I was able to get one but as with many costumes, it doesn't look the pictures. In the picture the vest appears to have a leather like appearance and it is really a thin gray fleece. The ascot is completely different than in the picture and the pants are a typical costume elastic waist band pajama looking pants.

My dress is very elaborate and I am not a sure how his store bought vest even with 'real' pants will look with it. We may need to find someone who sews to do a last minute shirt and vest. Any quick suggestions if you are not handy with the sewing machine?

Oh, I didn't use a sewing machine. I hand-sewed it. I suck at sewing too, but whats good is that part of the holster isn't really seen all that much.

Very nice job mr. synical! Your hair looks very good - I bought the Rubies wig and it just kind of went all over the place. I have newfound respect for women with curly hair - it was driving me freakin' nuts!
My wife tried 2 different wigs, then ended up just teasing her own hair, following the Mrs. Lovett hair instructions on the web.

Here's a link to our Halloween Party photos. We introduced everyone "in character" for the costume judging, and then Mrs. Lovett and I performed "A little priest"! You can see those photos where we are performing. My wife really got into character.
My wife made my holster as well. As I mentioned before the razor was an antique straight blade that I dremeled down.
Best costume went to the Iron Man costume. He stayed up the whole night before making it out of construstion paper and spray paint.
Except for the pics in the barber chair I didn't include any of our haunt pictures...

Sorry for the late reply. As you can imagine, things have been a bit crazy. Your pics look awesome & it appeared to be a fun time. The chair looks like it turned out to be a huge hit.
The more I did my hair & make-up (for various parties), the better they turned out. Tons of people took our picture while cruising Bourbon Street on Halloween & Halloween Eve. So, there might be some out there somewhere. We're already trying to figure out what we're gonna do for next year.
