Right, so up till now I've done things that don't really require me to alter my appearance in any way, so I decided to give myself a bit more of a challenge with my next costume. Which turned out to be not so much of a challenge.
Here's a picture with all of my supplies for my Mystique costume. I'm doing her white dress, so that was already a simple choice.
If you can't see, I've got about 3 yards worth of white jersey knit, a pair of white gloves, white gogo boots, a thing of Ben Nye's CL-19 Blue, a BRIGHT red wig, two pairs of blue tights, and I've got 5 bags of small silvery skulls (only one pictured).
Up to now, I've got a skull attached to the wig (as pictured below)
It's not totally attractive right now, but I'm working with it.
I've also got the dress sewn. It only took about an hour and a half or two hours to get it done. I like to work fast.
What I plan to do with the tights is use one pair for my legs (obviously) and use the other to make my arms blue. I took a hint from some of the Weeping Angel costumers out there, but since I'm wearing gloves, I decided to just cut a hole for my fingers and two more holes for my pinkie and thumb so it doesn't ride up. I also have a hole cut for my head so it goes on like a shirt. A very blue, awkwardly transparent shirt.
Hopefully by the end of the week, I'll have the skulls sewn onto the dress to hide that hideous seam in the middle. That way I don't have to worry about attaching plastic skulls to a belt of some kind.
What are your thoughts? Am I doing everything I should?

I always enjoy a good old school mystique.
