Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland Costumes

I have a question for all you lovely folks here in the thread... is there anyone that will be lending out their hatmaking talents on a commissioned basis? I've been trying to put my own hat together now for two weeks and unfortunately it isn't going all that well due to the fact that I have a nerve issue popping up again with my left arm. Needless to say, it's harder than heck to MAKE anything when you only have full use of one hand. So, if anyone is willing to work with me and offer up some price quotes, shoot me a PM. I just need a hat, no pins or the scarf since I already have those. Many thanks

i would also like to know roughly how much a plain(not colored or stiched) hat would be.

So after looking for a few weeks for the Funny Guy wig many mention here, and having no luck, I opted to buy a wig called Housewife Wig, and restyle it.

The wig is by Forum Novelties, and is Auburn colored.

Here's a link to the wig-
50's House Wife Wig - 50's Costume Accessory - Costumes Inc

I'm happy with the styling and am now debating my original plan to add copper color to the wig now that it's styled.

Are most of your Hatter's auburn or copper shades of red?

 

[SithsPadawan]

the funny guy i think is copper
cause it looks like a dark natural orange you know

i plan on trying to have a more orange one before con
(fingers crossed)

 

[Chadrificus]

[SithsPadawan]

That is looking really really great! Im not sure if I will end up making the Um dress or not. May I ask where you got the striped Sheer stuff?

The sheer fabric is drapery fabric on sale from fabric.com.
I bought the last 6 yards of it.

The stripes are black satin ribbon, tacked to the sheer fabric.

The red and black sheer for the crinolines, as well as the netting, are finds from downtown L.A.'s fabric district.

So far the most difficult part of it (other than figuring out a pattern) has been the miles of crinoline, then the ribbon-both have made me a bit bonkers

I found shop with scissors(with bird design):
Sutler of Civil War Goods - Heirloom Emporium - Purveyors of Reproduction 19th Century Goods. Sutler to Civil War re-enactors - Ladies Accessories

Don't look,that they are at Ladies section.

i saw these at hobby lobby for 7 dollars if anyone is interested!
lots other fancy scissors aswell

 

[Capn_Jack_Savvy]

$5.99 eBay and you get TWO! Unfortunately it is not used in the movie at all! Not SA!

 

[SithsPadawan]

so, there pretty
and its better then trying to find the exact vintage ones cause most of the really fancy ones on ebay are bloody expensive
i dont want to pay 200 bucks for a pair of scissors thanks
