naurarwen_fangorn Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 I'm lovin it. *sings mcdonalds theme tune* Sorry. Yeah I really like that idea. Good luck with Dernhelm I'm trying that for C6. Yes I'm way ahead with my planning, I already know what costumes I'm making. My plan was to bring back one costume from C5 which ever one people liked the most and then have two others. I'm hoping to have three costumes for each event. Hehe this should be fun. My room will be filled with costumes by C10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babyFrodo Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 There should only be one rule: Costumes should be custom made or partly custom made. This is to ensure a level of fairness in the running. I see where your coming from, but I really don't want this. In my experience this rule has only lead to arguements and, in one case, cancelation of the competition. Just to give you an idea (I've seen this happen more than once!!!!). You will get someone who makes a costume so well it looks store brought - of course they then win. You will then get at least one of the other entrys going around mouthing off about how they couldn't possably have made that and how unfair it is that they won, rant, rant, rant... I think a costume is a costume and anything goes. Leave it to the judge to decide if money counts for more than skill Soz if I sound nagative because this is a good idea, it's just that you can't trust peoples reactions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiccawise21 Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 that is a very valid point! im not bothered anyway really... i just want to dress up..im not doing it for the competition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how you can get around that one. But as I say It Should be custom made ...still I'm not making the actual rules, so it's up to SM at the end of the day.

Moriarwen Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I hope there will be a proper costume comp. I know that I wouldn't win however, *sigh* going as Arwen (chase dress) and Helms Deep elf. Had fun dying material though Got the dye cheap from a hard wear store that is closing down. Don't intend to use a pattern for the chase dress, using a pencil and a sister who is the same dress size as me. )But there will be modifications. Who wants to enter the comp?

naurarwen_fangorn Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Most of the stuff you can find in charity shops for example trousers, shirts and stuff like that. I suggest buying a cheap leather jacket and modifying or buying some leatherette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moriarwen Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I bought the underdress for the chase dress at a charity shop for £1.99 and a friend of mine sold me £13 of material for £3.00. The dye was £3.00 sooo not bad Don't need a wig though... Hurrah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
