Thread: Cloaked Woman Prop

Check this prop out! I know it's tame for most people, but I think it's pretty cool and I need one on my roof!!

Cloaked Woman - Grandin Road

I've had my eye on her for a few weeks now. I plan on buying one in the next week or two. Hope her dress is as detailed as it is in the picture!

Wow she's neat. She would make a great mourner in the cematery. She's kinda pricey though.

I've been looking at her, too. **sigh** there goes all my OT money!!

Guys, you could build that thing for about 30 bucks, and don't try to tell me y'all aren't talented cuz' that would be just plain WRONG..

I agree, build her. She is pricey, for 30 bucks I bet you can achieve much the same or possibly better.

Possibly, but I really like her dress and I can't sew.

thrift store might have something similar....then just dye it.

I think black satin would look better

What would you do for the led lights? And the form? I'm looking to place this on my roof, so weight is a factor....

it is probably small leds batteries operated so you can find those no problem i am sure for about 5$(like the FCG eyes) but to go on your roof every night to light them up thats a problem , you need a led or low heat bulb that works electic so you can just plug an extension cord when you want to light it up.....

the body frame can be made with pvc or 2x2 wood thats not heavy ......mount your frame on a wood plank that will screw to your roof , depends also how roof is ? flat ? on an angle , do you have a pic ? if angle you can affix it like making a v shape legs (you wont see the legs anyway with the dress) ....

i am with you and i cant sew either use a glue gun or fabric glue or hit your salvation army places , thrift stores etc to find a dress like a wedding dress you can dye black or a mourning dress ..... maybe you'll even find an old cocktail or ball dress you can modify....

but i am like you i really like the one from Grandin road if i had the $ for her i would by her .....
