I’ve been on an Evangelion kick lately. My Misat I’ve been on an Evangelion kick lately. My Misato here was a remake of the first Misato costume I did in 2002 - sadly that one was made of pleather and it’s a peeling mess now. So in 2019 I made a new Misato to replace it. It was kind of a last minute project, I decided 2 weeks before Anime Blues Con I wanted to do this 😹 I generally don’t make costumes that fast anymore! But despite the tight turnaround time, I love how it turned out.
Construction Rewind: my Taylor Swift Lavender Haze Construction Rewind: my Taylor Swift Lavender Haze costume! I made this for dragoncon last year - and the jacket has worked its way into my everyday winter jacket rotation (which was actually my sneaky plan all along! 😹)
Construction Rewind - my Padme Veranda nightgown! Construction Rewind - my Padme Veranda nightgown! Technically I count this as a 2020 costume, but its origins go way further back than that. So I thought this would be a fun one to cover on my construction rewind series.
Construction rewind: my Tinkerbell costume! I ma Construction rewind: my Tinkerbell costume! I made this back in 2018 and it was such a fun project and still one of my favs.
Another oldie, my Dark Phoenix costume at dragonco Another oldie, my Dark Phoenix costume at dragoncon 2004. This pic was taken by darkwhispi. I didn’t mean for this to turn into a row of Marriott ML column pics 😹 I posted the first one and was like hmmm how many do I have like that? 😹 I’m gonna throw a couple more into my story.
Oh look another Marriott column pic from 20 years Oh look another Marriott column pic from 20 years ago. My Huttslayer Leia costume at dragoncon 2005.
I really wonder how many photos I have of myself i I really wonder how many photos I have of myself in front of these columns in the Marriott at dragoncon. Slightly offtopic from the photo but I’m excited to have my Deanna Troi costume nearly finished and ready to join Dr Crusher in my costume lineup. Really hoping I can have her ready enough to go to a con here in 2 weeks!
And another follow up to my last 2 posts - the mov And another follow up to my last 2 posts - the movie canon collection from my Padme/Queen Amidala art project from a few years ago. This section was the first portion I did and I’d actually love to redo some of these because I hadn’t quite figured out what I wanted to do at the start. In addition, I was trying to replicate the poses of the Padme pieces from an earlier art project of mine (2010) which I didn’t always love and felt like it kinda stymied me. You can read more about the whole background of this project and see them all at my blog.
Part 2 from yesterday’s post - here’s the Clon Part 2 from yesterday’s post - here’s the Clone Wars portion of my Padme/Queen Amidala project. Again this was an art project I did in 2017-2018 that was essentially a costume study. I wanted to mentally play around with how I would actually make these as physical costumes. Since my clone Wars segment here was a little shorter than the concept Padme video, I threw in screenshots of the actual clone wars outfit each was based on. (Also threw in the comic book Sabé I did at the very end of the project!)
A throwback to my Padme/Queen Amidala art project A throwback to my Padme/Queen Amidala art project from 2017/2018. I so enjoyed doing these costume study art pieces of her movie and clone wars costumes that I decided to dig into all of the unused concept art and include that too. The concept art was really fun to interpret into a full costume, thinking about how I would make it, what fabrics I would use and how I’d embellish it. Some of the concept pieces I referenced were just rough black and white sketches which left me with a lot of creative freedom! This section of my Padme project was definitely my fav — it made me want to delve into interpreting some of the book costumes too, but that’s something I never got around to. Maybe one day I’ll do a part 2 to this project.
One more Star Wars Celebration 3 throwback - my Ma One more Star Wars Celebration 3 throwback - my Mara Jade was my other new costume that weekend and I ended up pretty much living in it because it was the most comfortable easy costume I brought with me. I loved this costume and wore it many more times, but sadly the pleather has finally disintegrated. It lasted for 15 years which wasn’t bad, I had other pleather items go much faster than that. But still my message to any new costumers - JUST SAY NO TO PLEATHER!
Another celebration 3 memory - getting a picture w Another celebration 3 memory - getting a picture with this adorable tiny Princess Leia! The day I wore my new Queen Amidala parade dress, it rained. And the line to get in was outside. We had to huddle under an umbrella for an hour in the pouring cold rain, in costume. I had my cape in a rolling suitcase trying to protect it. It was miserable. By the time we got inside my hair and makeup were mussed but just had to make the best of it at that point. Hey at least it wasn’t snowing right? (It would be the next day 😹)
It’s funny to think it’s been 20 years since t It’s funny to think it’s been 20 years since the one time I got to do a full weekend at Star Wars Celebration. (We did 1 day at the 2017 Orlando celebration) I’ve always wanted to go to another one for a full weekend but it’s never worked out. Too close to another already planned trip, too far away, too expensive right now. I’m still holding out hoping another east coast celebration works out for us one day. Here’s me and dad as Queen Amidala and Qui-Gon at c3. Also crazy to think about how my Amidala parade dress is 20 years old now too.
Construction Rewind: my 18th century inspired vers Construction Rewind: my 18th century inspired version of Belles pink “Something There” dress (or just my pink 18th century dress, depending on what accessories I’m wearing 😹). I’ve done 2 historical inspired costumes of Belle’s from beauty and the beast- I’ve always wanted to do more, and even though I have a new Belle costume in the works, it’s not going to be part of this collection. Anyway, I made this costume back in 2015 but reworked it several times and I feel like I got to the “final” version in 2018. It’s not perfect but I do love it!
Costume Construction Rewind: my Star Trek Original Costume Construction Rewind: my Star Trek Original Series uniform! This one didn’t take near as long to make as Padme yesterday so there’s fewer slides 😹 I made this in 2023.
Something I’ve been wanting to do ever since I m Something I’ve been wanting to do ever since I made that “slide show” about making my Padme Liberty Dies skirt a couple of years ago… a series of posts talking about my construction of various costumes, because I really don’t talk about or post progress stuff in my main feed very often. (It’s at my blog!) Thought I’d start with one still fresh on my mind - my Tatooine Arrival Padme costume from last year.
Star Wars banner tile 9 - the end! Here’s the l Star Wars banner tile 9 - the end! Here’s the last tile! My Queen Amidala costumes and my AOTC Padme costumes! (Loyalist was really hard to fit in here!) Be sure to go to my profile to see them all lined up together, it looks really neat 🥰
