Anyone a costume designer/maker?

Ello!

New to the boards here, just wondering if there were any other costumers here, I mainly do animal costumes, but do fantasy and LARP costumes as well

I don't have any photos, but I have done a mediocre Ithilien Ranger, from Lord of the Rings(black cloth mantle/fauld, silver tree pattern on the chest, black pants, leather belt, forest green cape), Dark Jedi,(black trench coat, black cape, black cloth belt, black cloth mask that covers only the lower half of the face), and I am currently assembling a medieval Scottish peasant outfit... but its severely low budget, so I can't get any fur for it. Yeah... I'm strictly ameture, as needed, but I still like to do it.

i sew some of my own clothes when i have the time.. its great fun~!!

i use a pattern for the basics.. then add on details to make it individualised and personal.. like beads, ribbons etc.

Well, I don't know about other people, but if I had a picture of the finished desired product I could certainly try!

All my friends would be pretty surprised though!

thats so awesome you ppl must be so clever! its hard enough making normal clothes!! LOL

I've made a few costumes when asked by family and friends. It was great fun. You must be quite a seamstress to do animals, however.

among my challenges were:
a butterfly costume for an adult lady
a Pocohontas (spelling?), adult also
a Grinch for a little boy
lamb costumes for kids in a Christmas play
a Queen Esther for a lady

(fmsmom
pardon my ignorance, but what are 'worship arts' garments? Sounds interesting.)

I am a TOTAL costume freak!!! One of my nicknames in college was "Costume Woman," because I ran around campus in strange costumes from time to time... I make all kinds of costumes, by the way, anything that suits my fancy...and I also couple it with crazy make-up (I can literally make myself look like a man, among other such things... )...

Dave go to your local good will or even some fabric stores...

at good will you could very easily find a cheap old fauxx fur coat.

And at a fabric store sometimes they ahve knockoff stuff for real cheap or even ask them about their scrapes.

I got some fur recently, actually. My sister is helping me sew it onto a cape tonight, if all goes well, for my viking/berserker outfit for Dagorhir. Thanks though, Nic! That may help me out with my next project...
