(Patterns Used:
I think it was Simplicity 9022)

Dress:
I had bought so much black peachskin for Donna Unicorn & the Wasp that I had enough leftover for this dress, too. (And enough for 2 different mock-ups of Donna, and two purse lining material and handles… I think I bought too much?). I used some leftover purple satin as lining, and some scraps of black satin as the tie piece in the front. The collar was a heavier black fabric I also had some scraps of. The only things I had to buy were the zipper and the big button for the collar.

Accessories:
I bought blank pill hat form and covered it in some black sequined fabric I bought locally. I hand-stitched a length of black netting around the front edge, and then stitched the whole thing onto a headband so I wouldn’t have to worry about it falling off with just a clip or pin. The wig I bought from Arda, and the cigarette holder from amazon. The jewelry was all stuff I already had, as were the shoes.

Burt Macklin:
Burt Macklin’s jacket, sunglasses, etc were all bought online. Chase did the “FBI” print in yellow tape. We ended up having to buy a white shirt and dye it yellow because we waited to late to look for one and then couldn’t find one locally! We also picked up Andy & April badges in the dealers room and wore them at the con.

(Also apologies for everywhere stuff is spelled “Bert”! I just assumed that’s how it was spelled like Bert and Ernie LOL. I’ll get it all fixed eventually.)

History: We’ve only worn these at Dragoncon. Need to wear them again for something.
