Description
The first costume I've touched from my Dream List.

I hammed it up, TO THE MAX!

It was hilarious and so much fun to wear. People love hugging squishy sacks of bugs and recieving trick of treat sweets. This costume also makes me want to dance...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Best costume ever!! Suffering for your art.

You crazy lady :D

I've gotta ask how it's padded since I'm doing Totoro and would love to know O_O

It looked AMAZING and The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my favourite movies!

sjbonnar: Oh wow, Totoro, I cannot wait to see that - good luck! The actual padding for Oogie is a seperate fat-suit underneath a hessian/burlap sack shell. I first step into a fitted fabric body suit that has fabric 'pillows' of wadding sewn onto it to it to make it look like a very fat man with a giant belly, back fat and bulky arms. I'm then buttoned in to give support as it weighs a LOT. Then (with the aid of someone else) I step into the sack cover and pull it over the top and fasten up the back. A lot of batted suit makers (semi)permanently attach the outer shell to the padded suit underneath so you get into the suit all in one go, but I didn't due to the flimsy nature of burlap. With fur you could easily make it as a one piece.

Thank you all so much guys! I was *so* scared of messing one of my favourite characters up, but the incredible reception you guys has given me makes me feel I did my job right~

Yay! I found you! I just want to say that I love Oogie Boogie (me and my sister sing his song all the time in the car) and when I saw you up on stage I couldn't help but go 'eee~!' Too bad I couldn't find you afterwards, would've loved to have glomped you. You made an awesome Oogie Boogie and were fantastic on stage! I can't wait to see more of your outfits! :D

I still can't believe I didn't manage to get a proper photo of you in this costume *bangs head against the wall*

Seriously... this is as good (if not better) than the staff's costume at Disneyland!
