Columbia -Rocky Horror-

Description

Excuse my expression. I was caught incredibly off-guard in this.

This costume is [hopefully] Columbia from the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

The corset was hand-made from my own pattern.
The coat'n'tails was heavily modified from the Burda '7986' pattern, and is fully lined in black satin.
The hat is a generic costume-shop top-hat, extended to be taller, and then fully covered.
The ribbon on the shorts was individually and painstakingly hand-stitched.
I added a seamline to the back of the fishnets, because I couldn't find any to buy.
The outfit was finished of with red hairspray, a pair of blue socks, black Mary Jane shoes, and a handful of friends.

This costume has to be the hardest to make, particularly because I was doing it all with a broken thumb [you can see the splint on my right hand].

This is really a work in progress. I've yet to make the sequinned corset.

Check out my comment at DanniDoll's post of her Little Nell costume picture and look for NumbuhXX's comment about a Rocky Horror Picture Show sequel. It was a lot that I wrote and I don't feel like writing it again.  But if you are a fan of that movie then you might find my entry about "Shocktreatment" interesting!
