Tonks costume pieces from Harry Potter

[WolfCreature13]

I'm trying to secretly put together a Tonks costume for my gf for Comic Con. I'm doing pretty good on most of it, but need some help.

I'm trying to track down her choker/necklace. Any leads on that?

I have the wand, jacket...

Any leads on which the boots are?

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

The boots look like British Army Boots.

You can get them at surplus stores, or even ebay.

Thanks for the boots tip!

I just realized I posted this in the wrong thread... I'll move it to Costumes.

Great costume idea. Do you have a pic of your jacket.

Cheers

Well I found this one: Harry Potter Nymphadora Tonks Halloween Costume Jacket | CosplaySky.com

Anybody ordered from them before? The price is good!

Her necklace seems to be some square cut leather band like this

Wrapped around a few times with some aged brass buttons affixed to it like this

You can see they're buttons a lot easier on this picture I found on google

Wow, that jacket does look nice! And price isn't bad at all

 

[WolfCreature13]

Ok, cool. I can probably find some cool buttons like that at a Michaels or some craft store... Thanks!

Has anyone ordered from CosplaySky before?

Lonerthx looks to be spot on with the boots.

Not so sure about the cosplaysky.com Jacket. dont get me wrong, it looks good.... but I think it's a "look alike" rather than an accurate replica if you see what I mean. For example, it looks like it's the wrong fabric, some of the poppers are too far appart, there seems to be too much pleating, the pockets look more "square", and there's not the subtle extra bits of detail such as the lines running down behind the poppers at the front of the coat.

Just little things really (but they add up), so it depends on how accurate you want it to be really for whether that will be an issue or now.
