Rogue from The Xmen

That looks awesome!!

The costumes great too ;)

Seriously though, i agree with the Jacket. The last 2 Rogues i seen in person didn't have the Jacket and i think that's what sets yours apart.

thanks, y'all! The jacket was definitely what I wanted to nail-- it's such a cornerstone to the costume and while there's some things I want to finish on it (buckles and the like) I am wicked in love with the shap.

I'm slowly posting up the various favorites I have for the costumes I've done, and this definitely ranks up there. With the wig I wanted to try and go for something a bit more modern while still having the huge amount of volume that Rogue's hair has had in the past-- so for that reason, the wig's actually two wigs, layered together with the bulk of the white wig bundled up under a secondary wig cap and the second hand sewn down. It makes for the volume, easier cleaning and maintance.

The spandex suit itself was easy to make-- matte spandex, piping, and all the materials were something around 30 dollars. The Jacket I patterned off based off of an earlier pattern (tailored in for fit, drafted a new collar, and rose the hem to be a bolero as opposed to a blazer) patches are simply scrap pieces of fabric with heat-n-bond.

Rogue has always been one of my absolute favorites in the comics and was a costume I waited to do until I felt I could really achieve everything to the level I wanted. The jacket, by far, is my favorite part.

Hello,

I really like your costume I was wondering if you could maybe give me some pointers. I told my gf that I would dress up as gambit and she would be rogue of course. Can you tell me where you bought the spandex suit and how you combined it with green. Details plz :D
