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?)

Wow, we love the saaaame stuff! Battle Padme is next on my Star Wars list and Hindi Wedding Gown is my favorite from Moulin Rouge! lol

Hmm...I think I vote for Battle Padme. I don't think it is *too* difficult to make, and it has a big fun payoff because lots of people will recognize it. :D

Well, I think we both have excellent taste then! :D

I do really want to do Battle Padme...it would be fun to have a whole little squad of battle handmaidens running around!

Just make sure you have a big black guy following you around narrating everything you do. "We're sitting ducks!" "The hutts are gangsters!" "The Queen commands it!"
