Entry for @masquerade-at-homeโ!
UPDATE JULY 25, 2020: Thanks to everyone for sharing! My entry won Most Humorous! ๐๐๐ย
Costume Name: Sally, from The Nightmare Before Christmas (Recreation)
Comic-Con Masquerade Contestant: Liz Gotauco Costume Description: I built the wig and dress from scratch, using second-hand materials to contribute to Sallyโs โRagdollโ persona. I used scraps from tablecloths, pajamas and clothes, upholstery samples, and even the yarn was sourced second hand. I dyed some scraps to achieve the right colors, aiming for the palette used in the movie rather than the merchandising. I used puffy paint to create the spiral pattern of the bodice. I hand-stitched the black yarn details. ย I purchased two pairs of tights but modified one to wear as a top. I did my own makeup using a mix of theater makeup and fashion makeup. Bio: Iโm a librarian, singer, and cosplayer from Rhode Island. I work with teens in a lovely public library where we get to host comics and fandom events. I sing in cover bands and local cabarets, currently fronting a pop/dance band. And Iโve enjoyed cons such as RI Comic Con, Leaky Con Boston, and NYCC. During RIโs shelter-in-place, I made unconventional Disney cosplays using only the supplies I had in my apartment. You can see those and more of my work on Instagramย and Facebook. My catโs name is Louis. Outdoor photos are by Jade Gotauco, 2018. ย All other photos and videos are by me, 2020. Music isย โCircus of Fearโ by Open Wave (courtesy of the PowerDirector app).
