Our Custom Greatest American Heroine!

[Phayze]

We literally put this costume together at the last minute, and manged to get the whole thing looking pretty good in less that 24 hours. She made the emblem and belt buckle out of craft foam and silver vinyl (only on the buckle, though) while I put the shirt and pants together with a little help from the Costuming Calvary, aka "My dearest mother" (that funky zig-zagging seam across the chest had me ready to disembowel myself with the scissors...).

She was very proud of her cape.

The emblem isn't permenantly attached - she glued a little pin-backing to it and stuck it on that way so that it could be taken off for easy cleaning.

The boots (originally purchased for Sailor Moon) and skirt (of strange and dubious origin) are store bought and have been sitting around in heap of random costuming stuff for ages.

She was going to tease the crap out of her hair and really work the 80's Chic, but there just wasn't time, since she most of the morning before work on Halloween making the cape.

I think the most interesting thing about Halloween for us this year is that we both used the same pattern as a starting point. :lol

Oh, and we just couldn't resist this one:

:lol

Enjoy.

Nice work, beautifully modeled.

 

[Phayze]

Thanks folks. Considering the time table for putting this together, I'm glad to see it passed muster - we're quite the amatures compared to a lot of the talent around here. :lol

I've always thought so, too . . . and that's probably going to be next year.

Love the costume. She wears it well.

 

[Admiral Vaughn]

Sweet.
Now that i can see it, it would have been cool if they had a woman in the main role on the show.

BTW, Love The Cape.

First, AWESOME costume. I loved that show when it was on the air and I watched it as a little kid. She did a fantastic job on the costume and she looks great wearing it.

Second, way to go man, your wife is very pretty. I bet you feel lucky every day.

Third, am I the only one who sees a little Alanis Morissette in her face? Not like a twin but maybe a sister?

 

[TK-2067]

she is very attractive, i melt for a brown eyed girl..... lucky guy you are........

 

[Phayze]

Thanks everybody. I am enourmousely pleased both with the costume, and with Mrs. Phayze's loveliness.

Brother, you don't know the half of it.

And now that you mention, she does look a little similar. She actually has a cousin that looks a lot like Alanis.
