Here's my Silk Spectre I from earlier this year. I was really happy with how it turned, especially the wig since I was a little unsure of that. I'd
really love to update a few things before Dragoncon - namely clean up the wig a little and remake the dress.

Kell,
Thank you so much for adding your costumes here to the costume gallery! This costume is great and your hair for this costume is just perfect. It's always the costumes that everyone assumes are simple that so often are the hardest to make look authentic. & I added a Watchman posticon to your post, hope you don't mind :) Allen |

You did such an amazing job Kell! I was very nervous about mine, after seeing how wonderful yours was! But I'm really happy with how mine turned out,
especially my corset! :D So proud of my corset! Whilst I'd love to do a wig for mine, I figure I can do the hairstyle, and thus far I haven't had too
many complaints about it! Though I do quite often get mistaken for Betty Paige! So without further ado:

Whilst I am VERY tempted to upgrade and redo the entire thing (since I made the entire thing before the movie came out!) I really am very pleased with it, and really should spend the time working on new costumes Though if I can
find reasonably priced high heeled lace up boots, I will replace my chunky ones!

Thanks so much Kell! :D The main reason I did this costume was for the hair :P I've been doing my hair in victory rolls for years now, but I struggled with
the fringe! Hopefully next time I wear it my hair will be long enough to roll the back up too! The dress was a lot simpler than I thought it would be! I've
been meaning to write up a tutorial of sorts for how I made it all because I've been contacted by a number of people about how I did it :D

I'm looking at doing this costume and would like tips from either of you lovely ladies on what wig
to use and how you made the dress and black shape ware underneath. |

The cut edge goes straight down the front and the selvedge goes from the neck around and under the arms with a Centre Back seam. There's a lot of fabric in it, and I just distribute it when I put on the cincher. Though the original actually has darts or tucks in it to keep the fabric in place. The hem is cut on the bias, so I used a small zigzag and stretched as I went to get the lettuce look on the edge. As for what I wear underneath: ![]() The corset I made from my favourite Simplicity pattern (5006). It's not exactly accurate to the one she wears (which has bust cups and garters) but it's close enough, so I'm pretty happy with it. I wear a dancers tights, suspender belt and plain black briefs. The original briefs have netting on the sides. Hope that helps! |
