gmonkey42I finished making my costume today! In amongst studying for my midterm!
The shirt and skirt are both store-bought: the shirt a long-sleeved tee from Old Navy that I've had for a while and the skirt I bought specifically for the costume, from Ross for $6. I shortened the skirt, re-did the neckline on the t-shirt with plain black broadcloth and some leftover interfacing I had, and added the shiny science insignia and rank stripes. I decided to go with "Commander" because 1) two stripes are fancier and 2) if I want, now I can be girl!Spock :D
I didn't try the eyebrow-concealing trick with glue and foundation, I just put a little concealer over them. My eyebrows are pretty pale to begin with. I'll do it properly for Halloween.
I've ordered a TOS science tricorder too. That should arrive in about a week. I hesitated because it's $40 but then I saw a pic of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mijan as Bones with one and it looks awesome and I want one.
ETA: haha, I just realized you can tell I took the second one in the mirror. It's hard to take a picture of myself. The camera has a timer but I have to balance it on something then try to push the button without moving it.
