I have a lot to say about cosplay, but I need you to see this costume before I've sorted all that out.
She made it from individually applied faux wings, and had no idea of it's origins.
You and I may know it from Alexander McQueen's Spring 2011 collection (this one by Sarah Burton)
She only knows it from The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
No photos of me there.
I had a prominent zipper blowout and had to sew myself into my pants to get home.
Partially finished Dalek bowler hat
Once I get this other costume (Regency bonnets!) job done, I'll do a proper photo blog, but in the meantime, let's look at that again!
I am sorry I do not have her name. When I do, I will edit this to suit. I do have her permission, btw. That seems to be the point of cosplay at the con.
Something similar's going on in Boston today. The Prudential Mall is full of people in really bad costumes and blue wigs. I wanted to sit them down and give them a fabric choice/quality sewing lecture.
