Classy Femme Boba Fett

This is what I've been playing around with for one of my costumes for Dragon*Con next year. I'm on the hunt for a decent Boba Fett helmet that isn't terribly expensive. I'm even looking to purchase an unfinished "bucket" and then do my own painting/add visor/add voice amplifier. So, we'll see. A friend is going to help me make the dress (so I don't end up sewing myself to something) and we're going to alter an underbust corset that I already have.

I think I'm leaning more to the one on the right.

Is it time for Dragon*Con again, yet??!? I'm anxious for next year. Alex and I managed to pull together my Dalek dress to go with her TARDIS dress for the con this year. I made these pill box hats from sheets of felt and recruited the help of my dad to figure out lighting. They came out super cute and I'm excited to add to the costumes and keep them in cosplay rotation. We also had some female doctor who costumes, but those were way too hot and didn't last long in Labor Day Atlanta heat... Next costume project: classy femme Boba Fett!

Here are some of my favorite pictures from Dragon*Con weekend. I loved meeting so many great and interesting people! Never a dull moment!

Dragon*Con 2011 in Atlanta, GA

For those of you who don't get the reference, our costumes are from the episode "The Empty Child" from Season 1 of Doctor Who. Alex found these sweet authentic WWII British civilian issued gas masks somewhere online. So we cleaned them and then gutted the respirator with my dad's can opener from the army for opening MRE's, to get all of the charcoal, mesh, and junk out.
