2008 costume possibilities

[jaina]

D*C is next week, which means con season is coming to a close for me, and it's time to think about starting stuff for 2008. And my costuming mojo seems to be back, so I actually want to sew again! NEVER LEAVE ME AGAIN, MOJO. I'm shamelessly stealing ladyamaryllis's idea and posting a possible list of costumes for next year. Some are definites, some are maybes, so if you have any thoughts on what I should do, lemme know!

1. DEFINITE: Mal's browncoat (Firefly) for sirrogue. It's two years late. I am a terrible costuming wife.



2. DEFINITE: Tristan and Yvaine (Stardust) for sirrogue and myself. OMG LOVE THESE COSTUMES. These'll likely be hall costumes for SDCC, GenCon, and whatever else we go to.



3. DEFINITE: Laughing Moon silverado corset. For to go under my Shindig Kaylee, and just for general use. I have all the materials, just gotta fit my muslin and make the damn thing.

4. STRONG MAYBE: Marie Antoinette sort-of chemise dress. I feel lame cause I didn't actually make one for D*C, and I really really want to! I love this one best because of that ridiculously adorable peplum.



5. STRONG MAYBE: Lizzie's "I have TWO swords," um, shirt (POTC:AWE), for to go about with Barbossa and two swords apiece.



6. STRONG MAYBE: Ravenclaw student robes (Harry Potter). I really should make a HP costume before the last two movies come out...I'm already too late for the books.



7. MAYBE: Padme EpI Battle Handmaiden, because I've always meant to, and I do love it to pieces.



8. MAYBE: Jaina, the NEGTC version (Star Wars). Because I mean, I've been Jaina for 11 years and haven't made her costume yet?



9. MAYBE: Hindi Wedding Gown (Moulin Rouge). I'm afeared of the construction, but I love this dress SO MUCH. Making it depends on finding fabric, though. (Sari stores?)

Looks good!!

Definitely go join and peruse corsetmakers -- they have tons of advice/info on all the different patterns, including that one, and are really helpful with advice.

I'm thinking I might make some things... this year for the first time in Idon'tknowhowlong I made *myself* not one, but two costumes! Very excited :)
I'd love to do Tristan's Mother (Una), or Lamia, and also make Captain Shakespeare for Brian.... the "true self" one!

Thanks for the link!

"And remember, Captain Shakespeare has a fearsome reputation!" DOOO IT!!! Then come to a con so we can all parade around together! CostumeCon is in San Jose this spring... :)
