My Idris dress - breakdown/details

Oct 15, 2011 02:48

Hello everyone!

In the spirit of macbeemer's writeup for her Idris dress, I thought I would do the same and offer a perspective on the process from two people who really didn't know what they were doing. :D Plus, we got a lot of advice and help from members of this community, so I also thought some of you might like to see the finished result ( Read more... )

convention: dragoncon, breakdown, guest star: idris, materials, technique, dress, fabric, episode: the doctor's wife

Love this writeup! Yay! Your costume was amazing, and even more so for being done on a tight budget!

I am well pleased that you think so. :)

Looks great and that's so cool about Sylvester McCoy! (And Mark Sheppard, who I've met before and is SO nice!)

Eeep! You! Thank you! I've had the Padawan's Guide bookmarked since about forever. :D

Mark did seem like a super nice guy. The first person in line at the photoshoot was in a wheelchair--though she was able to stand, and did so for her photo--and after her photo was taken, he walked her back to her wheelchair and talked with her for like a solid minute and a half. And I was very pleased that the people running the shoot allowed him to take the time to do that, too. (Then again, it wasn't exactly like the shoots Froggy's Photos run where about ten zillion people show up and they have to herd you through like cattle.)

Aw, thanks! I did link to your entry here on my Costumer's Guide Facebook, btw. :-)

That's so nice about Mark - that's really classy of him! When I met him at DragonCon, they weren't doing the photo sessions yet and when I asked for a pic, he came out from behind the table to where I was standing and put an arm around me. And I talked to him for a while before that too since he didn't have a line. Such a nice guy.

I am blushing like mad right now. Seriously. You should have labeled it "A Guide to Jerry-Rigging A Victorian-Style Dress". :D

And waaaaaaaait... were you the friend I met when I ran into macbeemer on Friday and told me she was a Broadway costumer?
