While cleaning the other day I came across printed references and drawings I’d gotten together for costumes I ended up not doing. I thought it would be funny to look back and see what I had planned to do, but never did. I tried to figure out the year/con I was planning it for, if I could remember.
I didn’t include things I started on and still plan on finishing… (Polychrome, Team Zissou outfit, I’m looking at you)
Juri – Utena – 2001 (ntac)
I had started buying stuff for this. I ordered a wig, but then found out they were out of stock. That was the only reason I never did it.
Nina Williams – Tekken 3 – 2001
I was way into Tekken 3 at the time. I went so far as to buy a pair of black leather pants, but didn’t get farther than that. I ended up using the pants for my “Other” Buffy outfit, and Ruby Heart.
Aluminum siren – Sailormoon – 2002 (animazment)
My fav Sailormoon villain. I just never got to this.
Princess Peach – Mario Brothers – 2002 (animazement)
I really wanted to tackle that wig. It didn’t go much farther than that.
Princess Zelda – Legend of Zelda – 2002
I don’t even know why I wanted to do this, really. I’ve never been into the Zelda games all that much, but I’d wanted to do it to match Kevin.
Edea – Final Fantasy 8 – 2002 (mtac)
I wanted to do this SO BAD…! It just didn’t happen..
Martina – Slayers – 2002 (otakon)
I thought she was funny, and you never saw anyone do the costume. To this day I think I’ve seen maybe 2 or 3, tops. Maybe because it’s not a very flattering costume, LOL. That’s probably why I ended up not doing it.
Rikku – Final Fantasy X – 2002 (animazement)
I actually liked her better than Lulu, so a first I considering doing Rikku. I opted for Lulu instead, just because I liked the costume better.
Vashette – Trigun – 2002 (otakon)
I wanted to do a girly “Vashette” dress version of Vash the Stampede, based on his Trigun Max costume. Obviously, I didn’t.
Faye Valentine – Cowboy Bebop – 2002
My mum actually said no to this one. Haha.
Xianhua – Soul Caliber – 2002 (animazement)
Originally I was going to do this to go with Ash’s Ling Xiaoyu (Tekken 3) costume. She was going to do the blue costume of Xiaoyu’s, and I was going to Xianhua (default outfit). She decided to do Xiaoyu’s orange/pink costume instead, and I dropped Xianhua in favour of doing Xiaoyu’s blue outfit. Does that make sense? LOL
Kero-chan – Card Captor Sakura – 2002
I mentioned doing a Kero-chan outfit at one point to go with Ash’s Suppi-chan. I’m so glad I didn’t.
Yuna – Final Fantasy X – 2003
I was actually putting this together, just to sell, really. Got a skirt, was altering it, and forgot about it.
Jack Sparrow – PoTC – 2004/4?
Yeah. I know. I’m glad I didn’t. I got so far as buying a wig, but ended up using it as an experiment.
Carmilla – Vampire Hunter D – 2003
I thought it was pretty.
Legato – Trigun – 2003
At that point I hadn’t seen anyone do the costume properly. Ash was going to do a good version of Vash, and I was going to do Legato. We never did either.
Eowyn’s Armor – Lord of the Rings – 2003
Before the movies came out, I wanted to do Eowyn’s armor based on some artwork I found. It was beyond me.
Galadriel – Lord of the Rings – 2003
I’d still like to make this, I guess. I just never did back when I planned.
Monty Python group – Holy Grail – 2003 (dcon)
We were originally talking about doing the whole group for Dcon 2003.
Megara – Hercules – 2003/4
Still one of my favourite Disney girls. I searched for fabric, kept pushing it back, figured out I’d do it for Halloween 04, then ended up dropping it in favour of doing Leia for Halloween. Never got back to it, and then the Disney princess skit came up the next year, so I’ll probably never get to it, now.
Belldandy Battle suit – Ah! My Goddess – 2004
Reuse for my Belldandy wig, that’s about it.
Arwen Hope Dress – Lord of the Rings – 2004
Thought about using the fabric mum gave me for christmas for this. Ended up making a cape.
Princess Jupiter – Sailormoon – 2003 (ax)
On my Jupiter kick, wanted to put this together for AX 2003, I think it was? I realised I wasn’t going to have time to do it, and decided to put it on hold… never got back to it.
PGSM Jupiter – Sailormoon – 2005 (akon)
I really wanted to put this together. I bought materials for all the accessories, and then ended up not finding fabric I liked for the green parts, and realised I wasn’t going to have time to finish it before Akon anyway.
Uo-chan – Fruits Basket – 2005 (akon)
I had a skirt, was going to reuse my Tohru top – just wanted to make her jacket, and needed to get a wig. I never got to it.
Yzma – Emperor’s New Groove – 2005? (comic con)
I still kinda want to do this. LMAO
The Bride – Kill Bill – 2005?
was thinking of doing it for dragoncon.
The White Witch – Narnia – 2006
I wanted to do this so bad! Just did NOT have the time, or the money for stuff I needed. I doubt I will get to it, now.
Belldandy White Dress – Ah! My Goddess – 2005/6
I had all that leftover white velvet I ended up not using – was considering it for making a white version of Belldandy’s dress. I ended up selling it.
Mikako – Paradise Kiss – 2005?
I dunno.
Paine – Final Fantasy X-2 – ??
I don’t remember which one I wanted to do. It wasn’t the default. I even bought a wig, but ended up selling it.
The West Wind – Unico – 2005?
Another reuse for my white wigs… never did it.
Magik – The New Mutants – 2004/5
I would still KILL to do this! I don’t think it’ll happen, tho.
Guinevere – King Arthur – ?
I just liked the dress. Never did it, never saw the movie. Haha.
Padme’s Black Corset Dress – duh – 2004/5?
Was thinking of doing it for Halloween, I think.
Christine’s Dressing Gown – Phantom of the Opera – 2005
Arwen’s Angel Dress – Lord of the Rings – 2005
I don’t even really remember why I wanted to do these two all that much.
