Steampunky Mad Hatter Costume
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.
