Costuming! Getting back into it, I hope.
I have been almost totally out of the costuming loop since, well, Star Wars Celebration IV in 2007. But I want to costume for Celebration VI next August and I want New Stuff! :D (Maaaaaaaybe even for Dragon*Con next year, but I’ll have to see how RL/teh monies go.)
Here’s my wish list for CVI:
Celeste Morne
My costumes are usually all fabric/conservative, so this one is outside my previous skill/comfort level, but I WANT IT!! I loooooove the character and I waaaaants to be her. XD
Tim might make a Karness Muur to go with her which would be freakin’ sweet!
Leia’s Endor/Ewok village dress
I’ve wanted it for years and I actually hope to have this one finished for MidSouthCon in the spring because Mike Stackpole and Joe Corroney are both guests (Can I get a WOOOT!!) and we’re trying for a big SW presence.
Morrigan Corde (aka Cade’s mom)
THIS version:
Because anyone who knows me knows I don’t have the boobage to even ATTEMPT this version: ;P
This was the Barriss Offee that I wore to CIV:
It's my second version and it's STILL not right. I might re-make it. It's a fun costume, but I made the cloak back in 2003 and it's gotten worn out/jacked-up. I can't see a THING with the hood up and I'm old enough now that that gets on my nerves, LOL.
I'll probably take Emperor's Hand Mara from CIV:
Not sure about the crazy husband in Palpatine with his Mace and Yoda puppets. (I'm taking the husband, just not sure about his costume since he recently decided to retire it, I mean, LOL. ;))
Tim wants to make a Reborn Krayt costume from Legacy: WAR and, if he does, I might do a War (crazy!) Maladi to go with it. Just not sure that we have the skill/patience for the body makeup required.
Finally, a QUESTION for my costuming friends: Where are the happening sites/groups for SW costuming nowadays? I lurk a little at TFN's costuming forum, but it's reallllllly quiet. I'm also a member of my local Rebel Legion (which is also pretty quiet) and I have them and the local 501st Garrison friended on Facebook, but I just don't see much activity. Where am I missing?
