This really has to be one of my favorite costumes ever - I do enjoy wearing her so much! Picture was taken at Otakon 2010.
I used a double layer of antique yellow silk chiffon for the dress, with a luster satin for the waist cincher, collar, wristlet, and corset. The glove is dull spandex with gold buttons sewn on. The stockings were purchased, as were the boots (though the wrong ones were sent to me). The earrings were made from two buttons. I did the make up and nails on my own. The wig is an Angela 750 in Red Auburn, and was styled using hair rats that I made of felt, bobby pins, and hairspray. Thank you so much to all the 1940s hair styling videos I watched on youtube!!
Gorgeous!!! I love the yellow silk chiffon you used! I plan on making Silk Spectre II costume from the comic book which is made from a similar yellow sheer material. So glad that you mentioned to double layer the chiffon to make it less see through - good thinking!
