Thread: How far along are you in the 2009 costume process?

Tweet

Just thought it would be an interesting topic to find out just how far everyone has got so far, and to keep each other updated on how we are all doing.

What are you going as?

What have you got?

What have you still to get?

Any in progress pictures?


I hate to admit, but I am so far behind what I was planning to be! My FIRST piece has arrived.......and I have ordered my second.
I had decided just after last Halloween what I was going to be. I have saved several screencaps from the film as research, and will of course re-watch it for more details.

What are you going as? Tiffany, Bride of Chucky

What have you got? My 'Tiff' necklace. The dress has been ordered, but not yet arrived.
(I already own a jacket I may end up using if I can't get hold of a better one)

What have you still to get? The boots. Some lace to attach to the dress. fingerless gloves. Possibly a wig. Bits for make-up, but these are extremely easy to get hold of.

Any in progress pictures? None as of yet, but will keep you updated.

I have a couple of ideas, but money may be a problem....as always these days! I have to buy plus size and those costumes are so darn hard to find. So I really don't know. I want something original myself, but what?

I am going as a somewhat androgynous Marquis de Sade.

I have finished my breeches, and my coat is 98% done. I also bought a cat-o-9-tails.

I still need to get fabric to make the shirt, get some white stockings, and some shoes.

No pics yet, but COMING SOON!

What are you going as? Making my variation of the Wraith stalk-about

What have you got? I have my head halfway under construction, and adding a waist strap to my back pack at the moment. Oh and I have 26 hrs into my skull for the head so far.

What have you still to get? To much fabric, have to make the hands. Will probably make out of canvas, stuff them, and MM them. The body structure. Neck joint, and linkages to my head, and arm joints. Everything will be hand made, I am not buying any already built items.

Any in progress pictures? Not posting pics till I start my thread

What are you going as?
A creepy doll


What have you got?
Nothing yet. I have the dress and wig picked out, but they are out of stock still on the website. I'm getting a blue dress with black lace on the collar/cuffs and a blond ringlet wig, and will be doing special makeup to do a pale doll face. I do have shoes already - black heeled mary janes.


What have you still to get?
Everything


Any in progress pictures?
Not yet.

What are you going as?
Queen of Halloween


What have you got?
Purple dress ball gown type, shoes, makeup, Im doing my hair all funky I hope with lots of glitter in it and spiders all through my hair, oh and a crown I have to wear the crown

What have you still to get?
crown of course, some purple glitter spiders and black ones to to put in my hair and all over the dress. also may get some type of gloves, maybe long, not sure on that yet, and jewelry to pull the whole thing together

Any in progress pictures?
All i have is a pic of the dress, I was going to be the Evil queen of hearts but what I want to do with that costume I need time to work on it so since I have this fabulous ball gown I found for 9 bucks I thought Ill use that this year and be the evil queen next. Here is a pic of the gown I will be wearing
.


If you guys have any ideas to add to my costume I may have forgotten please feel free to let me know. I am always looking for some input

i love that dress omg.. i cant get enough of it!! lucky.... anyways... i got nothing.. im still trying to think of what im gonna be .. but i think i will end up as little evil red riding hood. For some reason i had set my sight on being that since early this year.. so i think i will have to follow through with it since i cant find anything else i would want to be. I will hopefully be making my costume. so i have to get everything! that only that that i have is some really cute red lolita heels that i got for $5.

Spookilicious, I love that dress! What a great find and what a great idea!....the Halloween Queen! Maybe you should add a scepter....maybe topped w/ a pumpkin or a bat. Just a thought!

I've decided to do Spock this year. I've done a female version of him before, many years ago, but I thought w/ the movie that came out, I'd reprise the role.

However, I haven't done much to get it ready. I already have the ear tips from the last time. I just need the shirt and I'll probably pair it with a black mini, fishnets and leather boots. Gonna sexy Spock up!

RedSonja, that sounds so fun! I have always loved it when ladies don't feel like they can't do a certain character because they happen to be male. And that is why I decided heck with it...I'm gonna be Marquis de Sade. I hope you post pics of your costume all put together! Spock is awesome, no matter what sex! hehe

Oooooh I love this idea Redsonja!!! Thanks for the idea I will definately do something like that. I totally forgot about a scepter I also agree with MorbidMariah, I think you as Spock is an excellent idea, I cant wait to see the pics
