Comments: This was hand-sewn in 3 days by me for Anime Mid-Atlantic! I had promised some friends I'd be in a skit. Then we won two awards! Best Stage Violence and Best in the Experienced Catagory! Rock! It was made with uncomfortable yellow raincoat vinyl (no stretch) because it was on sale. I'm cheap. In the future, I'm sure I will remake this costume out of proper stretch vinyl. Although I have to admit the vinyl I used gave it a real Faye look...with fanning out in certain places and looking really stiff. I did like that about it. Anyway, this was made with no pattern, I simply took all my measurements and drew shapes down on the vinyl and cut them out. With the use of my trusty dressform, it ended up fitting and looking like it should. The "buttons" are foam I picked up at Michael's and had Chris cut the triangle shapes out for me (I hate cutting with a straight edge! Freaks me out!) and the black elastic straps are...well...black elastic straps.

Note: I didn't get a wig in time and I lost my headband somewhere at AMA. Oops!
