Padawan...I'm thinking that stripey thing is a jail vest...I guess...nice of the RQ to attempt to be fashionable with her prisoners... XD
Jodo, the great coat definitely has the baldric still, if it's the spool one you're talking about? The picture with the prisoner chain is reversed, you can see the toggle for his spool chain right under the lapel on the left.
Acme, that wig is HUGE! And great! Nice work on both of those costumes...again, I beg you to tell me where you found that fabric for the RQ skirt? *_*
I went to Michaels today to find new yarn to line the coat with since mines burgandy as well, I think Chad has the same as you and I and not only did they not have any purple chenille yarn but they had NO chenille yarn!! So I got some eyelash yarn to make fuzzy ribbons to put in the hems of the collar and that but think I'm going to get stuck with the burgundy as well...
I guess, though, for a coat that changes colours, it can't ever REALLY be wrong.

There are just too many variations of the 'main' outfit for there to be one correct way, I feel. BUT...the
FIRST coat he's wearing, which is also the Tea Party coat...it definitely looks burgundy in most shots...maybe maroon....burgundyish purple. So. Burgundy will do!
CJS...I thought about using cicle lenses to give the big-eye effect but they don't have any in a colour even close enough to match the Hatters...I am just going to tell Travis to looks surprised all night. Besides, if anyones going to the movies in their costume I'm sure their eyes will be like that all day from the excitement and then the awe!! Muahahah!
Ugh. For having said no colour can REALLY be that wrong, I'm having a horrible time deciding what I actually want to do. -_-
In re: to all the new pics...I LOVE the third one down. He looks so ... awesome. And full of
Hatter-tude ( ahaha I'm lame ) ! And I must say, I kind of enjoy his Blue Steel as well...which is fitting because he's wearing blue and probably wielding a sword.
Also...what the...is his hair LONG in this picture?
Cause if it is I am going to have a laughing fit in the theatre! And the shape of the hat looks so...straight and skinny in that shot...I always thought it looked to be much more curved, no? Maybe it just softened up over the years...it obviously needed some repair the Hatter took on himself in some creative ways.... >_>
