New Costume: Princess Luna

hi...
I didn't expect to be updating today.
This is one of the costumes i would like to get done before the end of 2012 (No i do not believe the world is going to end in 2012, it's just after that point i'll be getting ready to go or be going to University, so not much time for cosplay.... :(
This one makes me a little nervous though... Not as nervous as the Kaylee ruffle dress, but this one could be a little tricky. Especially after this character's sudden change in appearance from her first appearance in the second half of the pilot of season 1 to her next appearance in early season 2.
I'm talking about Princess Luna from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

I'm gonna go with her season 1 appearance, just because i like it more, and it's easy to match colours to, because she's not in darkness like she is in season 2.

Needed

Light blue semi-long wig - Need to buy
Dress - could be tricky as i want something a little old fashioned for her in a specific colour - might have to make myself....
Ears, Wings and Horn - I can make these myself
Shoes- buy
Crown- I could make this... but it could be just easier to buy a little kid tiara and decorate that.

That's it for this post
Happy Cosplaying

Shopping trip costume bits photos and possible new costume and hiatus

Hiya
another update, containing a notice of hiatus due to upcoming school exams, and
photos of what I got on my shopping day which i blogged about a couple of weeks ago

Firstly to Illyria


Red top [X] Check
I still need...
Blue lipstick
Blue eyeliner
blue temporary hairspray
Icy blue contacts
a Red skirt
and metallic blue base make up of some sort
(I don't have a clue about make up... I don't usually wear it)

Wonderbolt Hoodie


Okay so it's slightly darker shade of blue than i wanted
You can't really tell from the photo, the light from my room washes out a lot of the blueness of it.
Changing fabric or thread to fabric paint because it will be less time consuming to apply and will be cheaper.
So still need to get that in white and yellow
and I'm still trying to work out how on earth i'm gonna do the goggles.....
I'll get back to you readers on that.
--Edit--
Okay realized my hoodie is too dark a blue for it's original purpose.
So, dark blue, a couple of light blue shades, and white fabric paint will be needed to turn it into a Princess Luna Hoodie.

And Finally the River Tam Boots


Best find ever
$50 dollars from the warehouse. I don't know how long they will last, but still a good find.
Worn with my blue dress, Instant River Tam costume.
Okay, it's not that accurate. but still, it's better to have something close then nothing, right.

Okay now on to my possible costume....
This one is for Dr Horrible
This needs
Labcoat [X]
Goggles [ ]
Baggy white trousers [X]
Thick white gloves [ ]
White Gumboots [ ]
I've found instructions for the goggles online (Click here)
and i have a labcoat i can use as well as the white trousers, so just need the stuff for the goggles, the white gumboots and gloves and that costume is done.


So that's all for this update
