Halloween's around the corner and although I've been thinking about a costume for months, I only just landed on something this week. So, now I'm in a mad dash to pull everything together before the big day. I've decided to go as Fleur Delacoeur from Harry Potter this year. I have some of the pieces already, that was the main deciding factor in all this, but for a few of the others it's a waiting game with teh post office and I don't know why I didn't just decide on something earlier.
All this chaos got me thinking about my costumes of the last few years and the emerging theme seems to be women from literature who wear blue. Miss Peregrine, Alice in Wonderland, and now Fleur Delacoeur. And then it hit me that I never updated my post about our Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children Cosplay Costumes here from a few years ago. It occurred to me mostly because someone said, "hey, how come I never got to see pics of that." So, as promised, albeit several years late, here are the results of our family cosplay for which we won first place in the beginners category.
In keeping with the true spirit of Cosplay, the crossbow, lead shoes, fire, dolls of the twins, and the facial appliance for the hollow-ghast were all made at home. However, in keeping with the fact that my sewing skills were still pretty basic and my machine was still in storage, the clothing was mainly purchased although I did enjoy the search for look-alike pieces.
The girls' dresses for Olive and Alice were purchased from TheOtherSparrows and then altered to fit them. The Miss Peregrine costume was purchased from FanPlusFriend and the heels are from ModCloth. The wigs are from Aliexpress.com and the pipe is from Amazon.com.
The hollow-ghast costume was purchased cheaply from a used clothing store since it was going to be stained and shredded to create the right look.
