    working on my white lantern WW cosplay costume based on the heroclix game.

    I will be adding crystals and silver to the power leotard, and I have over the knee boots I just finished paining white! Love the look so far.

    Your seals look awesome!!!

    So I got the gloves in and I made my choker. Can yall think of anything else I can do to improve on the Emma costume? If not I am moving on to my Tardis dress.

    I found an old fur sleeveless coat at a thrift store and was planning on sewing a stuffed (destuffed) lion's head into it.

    Bit of an update, catching up after a fortnight so started on my cape made from an old poncho. Cut the bottom off, took out the old hood and sewed it flat, restitched the hem at the neck so it flares right over the shoulders and painted the first coat onto the Raptor symbol on the back;

    Hi, nice to meet some fellow geeks!

    Last year for the gaming society's Halloween party, I simply bought an Iron Man mask, stuck fake eyelashes and lipstick on it, and wore it with the new medieval dress I'd just made - I went as Iron Maiden!

    SO MUCH WIN

    I just finished my Tardis dress!!! What do you think is the appropriate hair style for a tardis dress? I am going to the Party Like a Time Lord party at Phoenix Comicon.

    Your Emma is beautiful! I'm working on a TARDIS dress, too - more Mad Men era in style :) It's for Dragon*Con in September. Yours is really cute and retro, though - maybe a beehive and some 60s makeup and a little pillbox hat!

    New project! Dalek Dress! My friend Tara is going to the Party Like a Time Lord party with me so I made her a dress to go with mine. It would have been cooler if I could have gotten her to wear more of a hoop skirt style dress but beggars can't be choosers.

    I love the Dalek dress!! Is there any way you could add an octagon hoop to the bottom?

    That is AWESOME! Tricia, I may have to pick your brain for my TARDIS dress for DragonCon '13.

    Basically it's this dress (that I am also using for another costume):

    http://www.pinupgirlclothing.com/heidi-dress-in-royal-blue-with-matching-belt.html

    With a black corset that I plan to paint windows on, black satin elbow gloves, a black choker that says "Police Public Call Box" and maybe a little mini-top hat that lights up, something like this, but more TARDIS-like:

    With these space tights:

    Sorry I can't seem to figure out how to link things.

    That dress may be the cutest dress I have ever seen! You should definitely do the police box as a choker around your neck so that it doesn't interfere with that cute neckline. I can't wait to see the finished product!
