I TOTALLY blew my “Not buying ANYTHING else for this costume!” rule for my Narnia gown, thanks to a ton of 40% off coupons at JoAnn Fabrics! Going to make shoulder straps as well as some detachable sleeves so it can be used for Medusa later. Taking some artistic liberty with it all… mits, shoulder straps, different colors… I can’t be 100% canon, I have to be *me*.
Also bought more hair (different colors, textures) for the headpiece and neckpiece.
Probably spend my night doing the 8 layers of reinforcement for the breastplate and my luck, my friends will finally be like “Hey, ready for the movies!!!” as soon as I get into a stride and yes, I’m going!! It’s nice having $ to have a social life again!!
Oh and I should also mention, I’m seriously considering DragonCon in August. Figure I can use my 2008-2009 costume (once I repair the zipper!), the Narnia gown with lion pieces, then use it again with a Medusa headpiece, and then the Titanic outfit. I know people there go above and beyond what I do costume-wise, but it’ll still be fun and inspirational. Plus some friends from around the USA will be there, too.
