P&P Regency Gown

This dress was created for a Pride and Prejudice themed party, in which I played Caroline Bingley. It was a lot of fun. :D For my character's sake I decided to go more important-looking and a more elegant style.

You can see the fabric and lace a bit better in this picture:

Sorry, the train is a bit wrinkled, but it's real pretty, and I think, the perfect length for a dress like this.

Have a great week! And although it's late...Happy Thanksgiving!

Snow White

     Earlier this year I saw "Snow White and the Huntsman", and just a few days ago I saw "Mirror Mirror" (I really liked both by the way). I thought I should do a Snow White costume comparison post for these two  movies.

     First off, Snow White and the Huntsman:

In this movie you will see a lot more leather and suede, as well as more earthy/darker colors. The color schemes and styles really add to the mood of the movie (Dark, scary, heroic) as costumes should. Besides being the actor's pass to a character it's their most important job. I really like her style; durable, comfortable, pretty. Basically, it's all around realistic for that time and place as well as adding to her own personality. I REALLY like this costume. I also like how they brought in the classic Snow White sleeve style. :D

      Now for Mirror Mirror:

Okay, I absolutely LOVE this costume, it's very "me". :P I love the colors especially. This is a much more light-hearted version of Snow White, and the guys too wear different styles than that in the Huntsman. I think it depends on your personality which movie/costume you like better, but this costume trumps most costumes I've ever seen in any movie. Sorry for the rant, it's just such an awesome outfit! She wears other costumes too, but not super-duper.... I'm thinking Renaissance Faire...:D What do you think?

Which is your favorite???

Movie Costume Monday~ The Avengers

Good afternoon everyone,
I got to see the Avengers on Friday, and absolutely LOVED it. :) The costumes were as amazing as the movie. :D 

 Captain America is my Favorite, with Hawkeye as a close second. Who's your favorite??

 The movie was the perfect balance of action, dialogue, comedy, and emotion. Don't you agree?

Have a great week!

PS: Who besides me is excited for the NCIS finale this Tuesday???? :D

Movie Costume Monday~Tangled

Happy Monday everyone!
I decided to go with a cartoon this week, and as a friend of mine suggested Tangled, I thought I'd go with it. :)

 "Frying pans, who knew right?"

Have a great week!

Movie Costume Monday~ Hugo

Happy Monday everyone!
The other day I got to see the movie "Hugo" I really liked, it and the costumes were also awesome. :D

I really do like her hat:

 The sets as well as the costumes were equally stunning.

Have a good week!

Farewell,

Movie Costume Monday~ Anne of Avonlea

Good morning everyone,
For today's Movie Costume I decided on Anne of Avonlea, I watched the movie recently and really loved the costumes; but especially Anne's. :D

Her hats are especially awesome.

 I know it's not part of her costume, but I need (want) a bike like that. :)

Have a great week!!!

Farewell for now,

Lady Pirate Costume

Good morning,

This costume I put together a week or so ago.

 I was needing a pirate, but didn't have the right fabric to make another tunic, so I grabbed a tunic I made wow ummm...last spring maybe? And the leather belt/sash thing for my Lucy Voyage of the Dawn Treader costume, a brown belt that was just hanging in my closet, a cape I made for my character (Fidelia) to wear in the movie, and a hat one of my friends gave me. I love how the look turned out, almost like it was supposed to go together. :P I love when that happens. :D

The cuffs:

Playing with the effects on Photobucket a little... 

What has been your best experience with a "Throw together costume"?

Have a great weekend!

Movie Costume Monday- Pippin

Hey everyone,
First off, I'd like to apologize for slacking. Right now I'm leading a rather crazy life. :P

For this week's Movie Costume Monday, I decided on Pippin from Lord of the Rings, they're my favorite movies, and...who doesn't like Pippin? Legolas is my favorite, but I've been feeling goofy today, so who could be better? :P

I have always been a fan of his scarf... :P As well as the color scheme they chose for him, very happy and hobbity.

 Ahaahahaha, one of the BEST parts...

And who knew he could sing? :D

"Home is behind the world ahead

And there are many paths to tread

Through shadow to the edge of night

Until the stars are all alight.

Mist and shadow

Cloud and shade

All shall fade

All shall fade"

Have a great week everyone!
