Thought I'd make a thread so we can start talking about how to make the costumes. Also stuff like what kinda fabric and patterns are needed. To start off some reference pics of the characters/costumes: Starting off with Death the Kid.   Thompson Sisters(with random Death the Kid)   Shinigami-sama   Kicking off discussion: So Death the Kid; suit pattern? Do we have one? Also dunno 'bout you Jackie, but I want my Patty shirt longer (and possibly shorts too) >.> |

depends on how flat i can get my tummy, but yes, if you want yours longer that's not a problem (mine probably will be too). a simple halter top pattern will work for them. yes, i can also make the shorts longer. all we need for that is a pair of jeans you don't mind chopping up. (or I can make em, but chopping jeans would be easier). the hats is where i run into a conundrum. buy hats and I'll just put blue bands on them, or look for a tutorial online? (i saw a liz this year with THE hat).
to be honest, liz and patty are the least of my worries. I'm stressing over nick. I gotta make the cross, since idk bout zack right now. (i'm thinking a cute plushy backpack type one since i'll be a "cute nick")
Shinigami sama: one giant hand? or two? (im thinking dense foam made into a "hockey hand" type thingy that just slides on/off) ALSO! I'm gonna look online to see if there's a "welders mask" type thingy that flips up to make the mask out of.

Yeah, I've got a pair of jeans that I can chop up. The hat also confuses me as well, what the hell is that thing coming out of the top supposed to be? Is that supposed to show that the top is baggy? Take a beany and build around it maybe?
Backpack would be a good idea for Nick.
I'm sure we can round up some foam hands(dunno how many), and yeah that kinda mask thing would work well.

For the zig-zag thing at the top couldn't you take a pipe cleaner and sew fabric over it? This makes no sense at all probably. I can probably get a top hat at a thrift store. I shall keep my eyes open for one.

Could do that. Could also maybe use leftover interfacing? If there's any left.

Interfacing is a textile used on the unseen or "wrong" side of fabrics to make an area of a garment more rigid. /quote
Wikipedia is your friend~

I figured I was going to use a dress or a coat pattern, and shorten it to be a skirt, of course if I used a coat pattern Id have to make it one peice, or I would use a double breasted coat and just have it closed all day lol
