Fail! the first finger won't light up. had experimented with solid core wire, and its to stiff, and I think it loosened the rivet connections the el tape.
Had hoped this would be done for D23, but to now avail.
Hello there!
My girlfriend's Quorra boots. They are Victoria's Secret.
She just wore them once a little while. If someone is interested on them, they are a 9B (EU 40)
Hi all,
Haven't had time to post my progress regarding the making of my Siren costume due to the fact it caused nothing but problems sewing it with the fabric rubberized.
Just wanted to give some pointers for anyone wanting to attempt to make the suits.
Yes, very disappointing the pink in the lite tape. That is why I didn't even bother wearing my Quorra suit to SDCC in the day time because I would have nothing but pics of me online of my suit and pink lights. Everyone would be like, why does she have pink strips in her suit. It does not look good at all in the day time.
Even with flash photography, it blows out my lights show up at all and the tape shows up pink in photos.
Kinda disappointing, but what can you do. A photographer really has to play with the settings in his camera to capture the light and the costumers suit just right, not to mention having a good PRO camera kinda helps. I think cell phone pics, flash off, are actually not that bad with Tron light up costumes.
Does anyone know where to get WOWO EL tape instead of POWO EL tape? I'm having a hard time tracking some down.
At this point I am willing to take the hit on overall brightness if it means I can wear the costume during the day and keep the white detail. Is this a bad idea? :confused

First pic I found of my suit from Chicago CC.
Hope I can find one of me lit up! haha
Update to my Siren Gem suit progress. Here are a few photos of progress shots of my suit. As of now it is actually complete. Just haven't had time to do any tests shots of me wearing the costume so you can see me in it better.
This pattern was A TOTAL PAIN in THE REAR END!! Sewing it, TOTAL PAIN IN THE REAR END!
Man, and I am not kidding. I am surprised I haven't been hauled off to a looney bin figuring all this out :lol :wacko
My good friend Grace designed the pattern for me and I sewed it. Kit Quinn is making the same suit. We will be debuting them at DragonCon. I am going to be Siren Gem and she, the dark haired Siren. If I get my freaking blond wig styled right, we will look pretty damn close to the actual movie characters.... I hope well I know Kit looks very much like the dark haired Siren. Me on the other hand has a big challenge ahead of me to look like Gem. Wish me luck.
We are not even going to bother rubberizing the fabric to the suits. That is yet another obsticle to deal with. We think we have it right, but no time to do any more testing before D*Con.
We can always come back and rubberize the suits later after we do a proper test with the latex and colorizing it. For now, we don't want to risk ruining these precious suits of ours so close to going to D*Con.
I also included a couple pics of our Siren discs I mod'd for us and my new and improved (for the 100th time it seems but this one is a keeper) Quorra disc. LED light SMD strips, C-ring and outer ring provided by the amazing Soulinertia.
ENJOY! and will update you all after DragonCon with new pics SO EXCITED!!!
Very nice look to your costume! Glad you found a pic of you lite up looks awesome!
Thanks Annisse!
It's tough to get love on this thread apparently, much appreciated
Got my pics back from Chicago Comic Con, so I'll post those later today
Your Siren is coming along quite awesomely!
Is the outer ring the same in both pictures of the disc? the first picture of the disc looks like the disc twinight made for his son with the outer ring that is actually flat
Hi programs!
I hope this Halloween I would post more pics of our Sam and Quorra costumes, keep up the hard work!
Aw man, Anisse you erase my will to live with your costumes T.T I wanted to do Silk Spectre once but that`s pretty much off now LOL, seriously i`m DYING to see your Gem! and are there more pics of your EOL waitress?
Of course! I know how difficult lighting these costumes are so totally can appreciate and understand all the hard work you put into yours as well as everyone else in the forum that has done the same. You going to wear yours again for Halloween or before then?
NO KIDDING!! Especially when you have NO BODY FORM!!!
Had to make this sucker complete by just holding it up to my body,
then checking it in the mirror, then making cuts, then sizing it up again,
and so on and so on. Pain in the *****. And on top of it all, the material I
used somehow shrunk when I plastidiped and pod podged it :unsure Had to
totally change it over-night in our hotel so I could actually wear for just
one day of the con. But it worked, and it was a huge hit!!! Took like a
billion pictures with people, and so many people were freaking out saying
"you made that!?! how did you make it?? what materials are those??"
It was such a cool feeling, never done any kind of costume making or
cosplaying AT ALL until my TRON and my friend's sparkly Babydoll. I have
you and everyone on this thread to thank for the success of my costume
That is AWESOME! and I too went threw exactly what you did to size my Quorra armor to my body.
Try trying to shape and mold a flat piece of latex sheeting onto your body, was not fun but I kept going and never gave up.
I think next to my SSII costume, this has to be the proudest cosplay costuming moment I have ever had.
Ppl at Comic Con were absoultely speechless. Couldn't believe I made the costume, I would tell them where I got the lighting from HA! like they are even going to remember what I said. LOL! just totally tripping out on the fact it lit up. Really awesome feeling.
You study the character so much, you almost feel like you are them. I try really hard to get Quorra's poster poses down when I take my pics too.
That is great you were able to figure out how to fix your costume to wear it since it shrunk on you. UGGGHHHH!! trust me, I know how you feel. All these costume problems on top of the technical difficulities with the lighting every single time I put my Quorra on, I am proud of myself for now losing it..... well, I think I lost it once when the stupid El Wire version I had totally broke off it's wiring and had to be soldered onto me when I was already late for the TL movie screening. HA! and then the electricity went out in our house one night too! I couldn't see anything I was doing to get it on! What ***** luck is that?!??!
That is pretty amazing you have not done any costuming before your Tron costume. When you really want to do something and really put your heart and soul into, you can make anything you want happen!
has anyone else seen this method yet LED-lit Tron v2.0 suit
