Costumes- D.C.2003!
Well, HDS has been a bit over whelmed with getting ready for and then cleaning up after the convention. I do know that Tree has requested that the house be costume debris free until after Christmas. But I am sure once things slow down, it will be a bit easier to get his attention.
However, having said that, his costumes are on the order of magnitude that most of us could not afford. For instance, the development time for the Kai costume was literally months, several of them I beleive. So, most of us would opt for doing our own costumes or going with a simpler one.
One thing that struck me while I was there was amazingly enough the uniformity of the outfits that the Star Wars and Star Trek groups had. Do they have master patterns or something? My lord, *all* of the imperial officer uniforms were freaking exact!! Made for a great look let me tell you.
Perhaps, we could get Flame or someone to draw us up several of the more simple “looks” ie, cleric, cluster judge, newborn ect and find the patterns that could be adapted for them. Then the accessories that need to be made, like the Divine Order Cloak clasps, could all be made alike, giving us a more finished look. Or the Prisoner shoulder tabs, belts and wrist restraints, those could be easily manufactured in a rubberized material so that people could adapt them into individual outfits. However, under no circumstances am I going anywhere as original Zev. Hey, once you have that, the Zev outfit would be easy to do. Some white smocked silky stuff, black boots and a blue-ish wig. Oh yeah, and a figure. Hey Trini, what to make a Zev outfit?
Anyone have any ideas for a other recognizable costume from Lexx? Hey Ben, did you make a pattern when you made your Divine Shadow Pattern?
