Costume Information

Description
Susan is one of my favourite book characters of all time. I read Soul Music when i was younger, and I've adored Susan ever since. SO when Crazedteensie suggested a Discworld cosplay group, I just HAD to nab Susan before anyone else!

This cosplay will be my own design based on some fanarts I've seen and from her book description.

Overdress is made from a balck suiting fabric that has sparkly thread running through it, with sleeves and front panels made from a sparkly embroidered lycra knit. My aim with the fabric choices was smart, but with a bit of reluctant fanciness. Still debating whether to incorporate some pink or not XD


The group!
Crazedteensie- Rincewind
Rudeth - Ponder Stibbons
Madamelapin- Moist von Lipwig
Tinfoil as Death

Almost done (Posted 2nd November 2012)

Skirt is now attached to the bodice, so all I need to do is add more trimming to the skirt hem and make some sleeves!
Mungojerrie is kindly lending me her white wig, so I shall buy some black extensions.
AND THEN I WILL BE DONE. LIKE 2 MONTHS EARLY. OOPS.

Progress (Posted 31st October 2012)

Bodice is almost finished, just need to do the eyelets and sleeves. Skirt is in the process of being sewn together. I think I may need some more trim for the skirt and sleeves as I thought I'd bought the same type as some I already had. It was not the same :/

Starting (Posted 16th October 2012)

Last week I bought some fabric, and today I bought some trimmings
The fabric is loooovely, but not fancy. For the most part of the overdress, I have a suiting fabric that has shimmery stuff running though it. I have a beautiful embroidered stretch knit for the sleeves and front panels of the top.
The best part is, both fabrics and the trimmings have cost me just under £10. Get in.
