So ET8 has a thread for this so I decided it was time for The Games con to get one too. So what are your thought for this?

[Aoife]

I really wish I could go. Had my Effie cosplay planned and everything - but I can't afford both this and LFCC. Maybe I'll get lucky, though.

I have decided i am going to cosplay as Effie for at least 1 of the parties



Ive found the eyelashes above already ...i want pretty much every pair on the website lol but these are a must for my effie costume

This is the costume im gonna attempt to recreate...though im having trouble finding a lilac brocade fabric at the moment. I use to see a lot of lilac brocade about but as soon as i want a certain fabric to make an outfit they never seem as easy to find

im gonna spend ages looking for a similar fabric why must i pick costumes with fabric that is always a pain to find lol

[naurarwen_fangorn]

I'd say the second is the closest. Its definitely flowers on it though so your going in the right direction atleast. Randomly I got a pattern for the training tshirts and if I work it out do you want one for Glimmer?

[Jemma]

And the hunt continues for Effie fabric lol

Taking into acount the cost, are you prepared to have the material from the US if you need too? If so there is an outside chance I may be able to help you.

[naurarwen_fangorn]

Definitely getting there Jemma. I'm not too keen on the second one but I think its a little bit too colourful. Here's really only has yellow, pink and white in it and what I think is black.

Ok Jemma,

Let's see if this is of any use to you. Probably not!  

This afternoon I tried thinking out of the box a bit as to how to find the material. So I looked on the IMDB site for who did the costumes. The costume fabricator on the film is a lady called Sabrina Siebert. A bit of looking around online and I found she was on facebook so I went to the page for her (http://www.facebook....1466625?sk=wall) which I clicked the "like" for. This opened up her info details that included an email address.

If you feel bold enough to do it, you could use that to email her and ask her if she is able to help you with either where they got the material from or if it was an especially commisioned print. She may even have ideas of somewhere you could get a very similar material and design.

I'm not sure if you fancy giving this a go, Jemma. Good luck with the search either way. :)

If anyone from Showmasters is reading this perhaps you could use this route to make an intial contact to get her as a guest?

Thats so cool.

Do many answer or are they "how did you get my email address" and have hissy fits?

As long as they aren't getting lots so it's overwhelming and becoming too hard to reply too I would think they would really like the recognition of their work as most people are usually more interested in the celebs, high profile actors or CGI.

I got a reply from the contact lense lady but not from the others. Luckily a friend of mine had already spoken to one of the costume ladies so he just passed the info on to me. Their emails were pretty public so they definitely can't have hissy fits and some of them were on facebook.

Even thought there's only about... 0.1% chance of me actually going to this con (which I really really want to!), I really wanna cosplay Prim! So.. if I can make it to next year's Games... then I'll do that XD But I might do it at signing events like LFCC, depends if/when I get it done.
