The Updated and All-Inclusive Costume Thread

[DisneyMountainWoman]

Well changed my idea on my wine and dine outfit.... now going with Hamilton themed with The Schuyler Sisters. Basically I am in my revolutionary stage with my life right now. So feeling this vibe. The shirt started it, it is from tee public. I am sad it is a cotton shirt though. But loved the graphic design. Then did top stitch couture for custom skirt. This was made to put the bib on the front of the skirt.


Need to have different shorts/pants on and different bra.

Also trying to decide if I should do a custom visor or bow for my head...

I'm going to be making a 3/4 circle skirt out of this beautiful, shiny, striped rainbow fabric for my Rainbow Run 5K at the end of June


And since it's striped, I don't want to just cut a donut out of the fabric (even though it's plenty big enough) because I think having the stripes going one direction in the front and back and a different direction on the sides looks dumb. So I'm going to do panels and get, and I need an opinion on which direction the stripes should go on the panels. So I whipped up 2 mockups in my graphics program and printed them out.

Vertical


Horizontal


I also have the option to do a full circle skirt with more panels, if I alternate the direction of the fabric. I need to stop having ideas and make a decision!

@Naomeri I definitely like the first and last vertical options most! The first one especially looks very fun.

You were right, vertical looks good! I got all 12 panels cut, and pinned in pairs. Next comes sewing!

@Herding_Cats Do we need those books/castle skirts?

ooooooh nooooooo.




I was looking at something like this the other night too. not attached to any one specific thing or idea at this point. MTH Designs (gotta join the fb group to get the website password) has quite a few race-weekend-specific designs available right now too. I'm loving her "mary blair"/IASW style stained glass flower prints.
