Dragon*Con

Please note that this is still a bit in the tentative stage, but Dragon*Con costumes...

Friday: Corset & long green skirt
Saturday: Corset & multi-coloured skirt, wings (this is the tentative one, might drop to concentrate on final costume)
Sunday, Monday: Mara Jade, Star Wars: Expanded Universe

For the first costume, I have my corset and my skirt already purchased. I also have knee-high black combat boots to go with the outfit (same seller & everything I purchased from). Need to purchase: necklace/choker. Estimated total price: $125. Donations (necklace, earrings) accepted.

For the second costume, all I have is the corset and boots. It would require shopping for a pattern, at least 3 different colour fabrics, and buying wings of some sort. The fabrics I have in mind for the skirt are between $8 and $12 a yard, with 1 5/8 yards needed of each. The pattern is $15.99.

For the final costume, I'm planning on wearing the same boots, but with shin and knee guards on as well. Need to purchase/make: black pleather for body suit (2 yards), black gloves, purple lightsaber, goggles, belts, straps, cape with clasp, shin guards, and knee guards. Estimated price = $150. Donations (gloves, purple lightsaber, aviator-style black goggles, shin guards, knee guards, assistance with belts/shoulder straps/cape & clasp, or cash to help towards all this) accepted.
