Here is my Ted Theodore Logan costume I made.
- What inspired you.
==============
I just love Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. I wanted to do a comfortable recognizable costume and this fit that need completely so off I went researching.
- How long it took.
=============
Honestly I'm not sure of the exact amount of time it took me to put it all together. More than a few months though really as some of the pieces were hard to find. The shorts were east but the proper jacket, shirt, vest and socks were the hardest part.
- How much it cost.
=============
It probably cost me around 150, all together, maybe 200 when I include the wig as well. I bought the Converse shoes specifically for the costume.
- Specific details for which you are most proud.
==================================
The jacket and the socks are my favorite clothing parts of the costume.The jacket was a thrift store find that was originally yellow. I dyed it with some red dye and it came out perfect orange yellow color. The socks I had to make bye dying some ladies scrunch socks and dyed them gray and painted the red lines on with fabric dye. I also LOVE how the watched I made turned out. It was a simple construction but it turned out really well. There's plenty of information about how all this was made in the link below.
- Tips.

I found a great Bill and Ted website Bill & Ted's Excellent Online Adventure - Home Page and used the image galleries there to gain reference images, as well as searches on google image search. The website also has a excellent how to section for costume making as well.

Here are photos of the finished costume! More to come!
