3rd July 2004: A pairing with Delusional as Excel.
This is the source of my loathing for Lycra, though the foam shoulders were fun to make. They were four panels of upholstery foam sewn together into that torpedo shape with an armhole.

We only wore these while we helped on a dealers-room table, I was quite rushed as I put all my time into the masquerade costume I took to this con, but as my first dip into the land of stretch-wear I'm glad I did it :)

Forgot to put my gloves on for the photo too, they would have hidden the safety pins >.<
