I know there already is a thread on the Alice In Wonderland costumes but I wanted to start a Work In Progress (WIP) in order to show progress.
This is an ongoing updated thread as an FYI for others that want to try out this costume. Not 100% screen accurate and on a wee bit of a budget.
Shoes. Kenneth Cole size 10 1/2. Purchased off of Ebay. I striped the first layer of leather stain and dye off of the boots to get them lighter. I just used 70% alcohol. I also added six more holes for the shoelace. The original movie version had 12 holes.
Before:
After:
Six holes and now twelve!
The thread bandoleer. Made up to be very similar to the movie version all the way down to the color and sequence of thread spools as they appear on the chain. Different promo shots and screengrabs from the HI RES trailer shows between 24-26 spools. I went with 26. Areas that are hidden under the coat lapel and pink kerchief in the right pocket were guessed. I just added more spools.
There is a second chain that hangs below the frock coat line on the right hand side. I used a smaller size chain that was 36-inches long.
Chains are all linked together with round links. This is where they all come together and this sits to the right side in the lower back.
It is hard to see but it was visible on the picture posts from down at Comic Con. There is a single round link that sits below the left shoulder blade. It holds the two chains together. Hard to see but it is there!
Top part that goes over the shoulder. Most of this is hidden away by the frock coat lapel. You can see the detail of the chain.
Detail is a curse. I even attached the spools of thread using strips of metal as is the movie version. Curse this costuming detail!
