Steampunky Mad Hatter Costume

[moukin.livejournal.com]

Hey thanks so much everyone for your compliments on my Mad Hatter Hat. I'm so thrilled with how well it turned out.

The costume party was Friday night and I have a few photos of the whole costume.



A few more and larger pics behind the cut...













The post I made about the hat is here.

The jacket is a women's brocade suit jacket that I took the sleeves off of and left the edge raw. I made the choker out of some of the scrap sleeve material. It's just a long ruffle of material with a corded trim stitched across the center. I hand stitched a bit of chain onto it and hung one of the painted teacups from the end.

I bought the ruffly shirt and argyle tights from Walmart and I already had the boots, shorts, and the lacy tights I cut up to wear as sleeves. The "spats" on my boots are an old pair of long white gloves (from my High School prom over 10 years ago :p) that I cut up. It was last minute so I didn't get a chance to add any buttons to them.
