Well I just realized that one of the ladies I am going to register today has NOT given me her choice of costume, ma'am you better contact me so I will know where to sign you up!! Is it just me or was choosing a costume extremely stressful this year? I know people still going back and forth, even today.
Listen, if you like Goddess of the Chase but are worried about the pleather, the bra is fully lined and padded so now worries there and you can always pick up a pair of red $15.00 spandex panties/thongs at Chaos and not wear the pleather underwear. Black Magic IS a black costume and black will attract heat, but it is a pretty tiny costume with a good bit of silver in the belt. If you love the costume but are worried about the heat, remember you can always take off the headpiece during the day.
Silver Mist has the love it or hate it fur on the bra, if you hate it when you see it easy solution is to take it off and replace it with an appliqué that you can pick up at Samaroos. The silver "metal" looking part on the bra is actually made of a soft pliable material, all you need is a glue gun and the fur will be gone!
Love Mystique but hate the fabric? Easy, take a pair of scissors and chop it off and replace with beads. Again, make Samaroos your friend! When I used to add beads to my costume I would be busting off the beads on the ends with a hammer to have a length of thread long enough to hot glue on a piece of stiff fabric which I would then hot glue to the belt. Nowadays the beads come on a nice strip of binding so all you need to do is cut it as wide as you need it and hot glue to the belt. If you want extra reinforcement run a stitch over it on the sewing machine.
The point is this, if the offending detail on the costume is minor there is a way to adjust it to your fancy. I have been tweaking with my costumes every single year since I started playing mas; from redecorating an entirely different bra to making my sailor pants tighter this year. I know many other ladies who even add more stuff to their costumes to make it stand out, all you need is a touch of creativity and a good supply store like Samamroos. I trust that the costume decisions will be a bit easier now! Good luck!
