I've been working on a costume for the masquerade at Toronto Trek 16, July 2002. The costume is a recreation of the Chiana costume from Farscape. It is the outfit she wears from when she appears towards the end of season one till the beginning/middle of season two.
Well the convention weekend is now over, and I've got good news. My costume with a few touch ups before hand looked even better than the original test run. I was very pleased with the results. In the masquerade I won for "Inovation in Construction" in the workmanship judging and "Best Media Presentation" in the Journeyman category. I'm quite pleased with the work I've done and I already look forward to my next project, whatever that may be.
I'd be happy to do consultations in regards to costuming or to make something for you! Please contact me for rates
These are some intial pics of my costume, Enjoy!!
And for something a little artsy looking!
This is what it looks like before it's all put together.
The back, the front and the complete but unfinished pair of pants
The Chiana top in progress
The Chiana vest, the vest and top together
After the work I had already put into the costume, I realized I really didn't like the way the top and pants looked, so I re-did them, I used a heavy weight grey yarn instead which looks much better!
Details of the accessories
