Starting next year's costume already :)

[pirate]

My next costume is going to be an elaborate WoW costume...planning on working on it a little all year and having it ready for DragonCon.  So I started with a small piece, Orca Hide Boots.  

I started out with these.  I took the straps off, sewed on a cuff, folded and sewed the excess fabric along the bend in my ankle to eliminate the slouchy look, sewed on the green velvet and brown suede on the sides/top of foot, then painted it and glued the leaves on the cuff.  Well, I'm not done with the leaves yet, but I was finally able to take a picture of one of them



The crazy part is, you'll barely be able to see the boots under my skirt, but I wanted to do something that felt authentic from head to toe Oh and I swear the green velvet doesn't look as blue IRL!

Looks great!

The dog in the background looks like a boob.

These I have heard, and seen good results, they pretty cheap after Halloween.

Oooh, those look great! Huge, but so are "real" night elf ears, lol. Good thing I have big ol' Dumbo ears to hold them up

I have a couple of friends who used those, they have a headband type strap, and then used spirt glue too. They looked really good, and they were really easy to paint, if your a colored night elf.
