Hocus Pocus Costumes!

Hocus Pocus Costumes!

Dragoncon is almost here!!
Here’s a project I haven’t shared here yet…. šŸ™‚

My dress totally done except for a zipper and weathering! The corset I made using a pattern, slightly modified for the shape. I dyed the silk for the outer layer and embroidered it. The chiffon side skirts I also dyed. The net sleeves I had to paint to get them to pink - they were a pain!Kelldar.com | My Facebook Page | Tumblr | Instagram

Nearly finished! Got the trim attached, the painting is finished, and the underskirts are done. The top part of the "underdress" is fake, it is attached to the green dress.Kelldar.com | My Facebook Page | Tumblr | Instagram

As I said, I didn't take a lot of pictures of the Mary progress.The shirt fabric I dyed, and made using a basic "peasant" shirt pattern, with some stringed beads running through the neckline hem. For the skirt, we got some basic plaid fabric locally - it was just a simple skirt with an elastic waist. The bodice was cotton with some light plastic boning, and an outer layer of the dyed burlap.

They are all 100% done! We’ll probably be wearing them Sat night!

Eras Tour Indy night one was āœØmagical āœØ The Eras Tour Indy night one was āœØmagical āœØ The concert was amazing, @lindenash ā€˜s friendship bracelet jacket and @chasingphotography ā€˜s jersey turned out so cute and it was so fun to get to wear my lavender haze costume from dragoncon to the actual concert! (Tho, I did switch to flats for standing for 3.5 hours). It was so surreal to actually see the show in person! I got to sing exile with Taylor Swift and 69,000 friends!! It was a once in a lifetime experience and Iā€™m so, so grateful we were able to go.

Itā€™s my 20th anniversary of my first ā€œseriousā€ Princess Leia costume! Hereā€™s a retrospective; it was hard to find pics from every year because at some point I was like, ā€œI have enough pics of this we donā€™t need to take moreā€ šŸ˜¹

I often get asked ā€œhey whereā€™d you get X for t I often get asked ā€œhey whereā€™d you get X for that costume?ā€ so I decided to start a new series where I break down where all of my materials and pieces came from. Starting off with the one I get the most frequent questions about, my most recent Padme lake gown from 2019. (I really want to do this with a super old costume, like my fabric came from Hancock fabrics, my grandma gave me that piece, the wig was from Cosworx, the armor was a garbage canā€¦ šŸ˜¹)
For Halloween this year I made my two ā€œlittle si For Halloween this year I made my two ā€œlittle sistersā€ Skye and Walker their own Jedi costumes. These were tricky to fit without having them there to try on! I need to do a couple more adjustments but I think they turned out cute.
First round of white backdrop shoots done yesterda First round of white backdrop shoots done yesterday! I felt like these 3 (Mara Jade, Shin Hati, and Taylor Swift) needed photos first because I did a really bad job at taking photos of them at dragoncon. I should have photos back in a couple of days! Next round Iā€™m planning on Tā€™Lyn, Padme Tatooine and honeymoon Leia.

Making of my Padme veranda nightgown - I started o Making of my Padme veranda nightgown - I started on this back in 2006 and didnā€™t finish it. Tried to pick it up again in 2012 but only made things worse šŸ˜¹ finally in the midst of 2020 I got it all out, took it all apart and finally finally finished it.
Making of my Arwen ā€œblood redā€ dress from lord Making of my Arwen ā€œblood redā€ dress from lord of the rings, originally made for SDCC back in 2005. Maybe Iā€™ll bring her back to dragoncon next year for her 20th anniversary like I did for Ozma this year? šŸ˜¹
I noticed a trend with my last 2 posts, so I might I noticed a trend with my last 2 posts, so I might as well complete the row - Leia with a lightsaber.

Todays #cosplayover40halloween prompt is mashup bu Todays #cosplayover40halloween prompt is mashup but I donā€™t really have any proper ā€œmashupā€ costumes. The closest I can get is something like my Leia Skywalker here. I borrowed Kevinā€™s tunic, belt and boots for a quick little ā€œwhat if?ā€ Photoshoot.
GWRM Princess Leia edition! Itā€™s been a while si GWRM Princess Leia edition! Itā€™s been a while since I wore Leia so I figured Iā€™d film the whole process. This is about 45 minutes truncated to 1 šŸ˜¹
Wore Scarlet Witch out to zooboo last weekend. I t Wore Scarlet Witch out to zooboo last weekend. I thought this would be my only costume outing for the month but now Iā€™m jumping into Leia today and Dorothy tomorrow and first round of white backdrop shots next weekend! Hoping to make up for my lack of content I made during dragoncon šŸ˜¹
Unbox my new @rspropmasters Boushh helmet with me! Unbox my new @rspropmasters Boushh helmet with me! This is a shorter version of the full video (you can see the whole thing on the other platforms!) I canā€™t wait to get the rest of my Boushh costume fixed up to do a Photoshoot with this! Itā€™s the Princess Leia costume Iā€™ve worn least because I sold my original helmet only a year or so after finishing it! Also looking forward to setting up a cool little display around this - been wanting to install some shelving in a spot in our living room so this is a good kick in the pants to do that.
Todays theme for #cosplayover40halloween is Disney Todays theme for #cosplayover40halloween is Disney/pixar and I thought Iā€™d post Snow White for it today, since it looks like I may need to get her out of storage and cleaned up for wearing this weekendā€¦ I wonder if I have time to shorten the bodice?? Probably not but thatā€™s something Iā€™ve wanted to do to this costume for yeaaars šŸ˜¹ I think itā€™d be easier to just make a new bodice than alter this one that much !
