Poison Ivy
I actually made this costume a Year ago (about this time exactly last year) and wore it to Wondercon 09 but never got around to posting photos of myself wearing it here.
The main part of the costume is a black lace Bustier that I hand-sewed a rather endless amount of plastic leaves onto. The gloves and bottoms are black jersey coated in some sort of green metallic paint that rubs off EVERYWHERE. The fabric and the tights were both from longs drugs (now CVS) I made an attempt to stain the tights (using red acrylic paint) and that worked about half as well as I wanted. Th red boots were a crossroads find.
(I'v actually found pictures of myself on flickr, that was fun!)
I wore the costume again, for Halloween this year. I did my hair differently, Like Bell from Beauty in the Beast plus lots of leaves and I like it that way a lot better.
