Lunara's Fantabulous Costumes 2012
« on: September 21, 2011, 09:03:17 pm »
Hm. Since the 2011 thread is suddenly gone I guess that means I get to start the new one! Yaaaay.

NDK NYE 2011-2012:
Giselle from Disney's Enchanted
The chosen fabric (You would not believe how hard it was to find something close-ish)

Starfest 2012
Frost of Mortal Kombat for a Mortal Kombat group.

Nan Desu Kan 2012
General Beatrix from Final Fantasy IX  Sorry Guys. I know this is a totally beaten and dead horse repeat for me, but I've never done it right. Since allpowerfulbob is going for Steiner this year I would really like to do right by Beatrix. New wig. New approach. Better results. :)

Jakotsu from Inuyasha I've wanted to do Jakotsu since I saw him YEARS ago. I was going to just totally push him over into the female end of things though. >,> And hopefully get landstander to be my Bankotsu. ^_^ And maybe get toadstool to be our Renkotsu! He's already got the hair for it. XD

We're throwing Jin and Fuu. onto our list as well. :D My brother will be joining us as Mugen.

Aww! Yay Giselle!! That'll be super cute, I like the fabric you found too. I fully expect to hear 'How will she know', while you're in that costume. ^__^

Haha, sounds like a plan. ^_^

Hey, Mags, Katie... what do you guys think about this this wig here?

It's long enough, the color looks moderately close, and the price is certainly not terrible. Looks like their feedback isn't terrible either.

I think the wig's a pretty close match in color.  Hard to tell, though given Giselle's in daylight and the wig I assume is under fluorescent, but I think it would work great. :)

Price isn't bad either considering you shouldn't need to do too much to style it how you want it.

I think that's going to be a fantastic dress~! And the wig looks great too. How are you making the dress? By hand? Wow. :3

Well, not by hand. With scissors and thread and my beloved serger. <3 <3 <3 Hehe. But yeah. I'll be sewing it myself. :)

Thanks for the input, guys!~ I'll try to order the wig soon. I've wanted to order that style of wig for a while. :)

Oh my goodness, yes. My precious.

It was my Christmas present from <3 landstander <3
Best $250 piece of machinery ever. ^_^
I will never be able to sew a costume with only a regular sewing machine again. :P

that dress will look so cute. Is it cotton fabric that you bought?  If so you should probably line it.

Yay!!! I love Giselle. :D  I will definetly hunt you down for pics. The material and wig look great. 
Don't diss the mouse! He may look like a pipsqueek but he does carry a keyblade and who knows, he may have Maleficent at his beck and call.
