Moulin Rouge
I'd only jumped into serious costuming 18mths before I devised myself this 'grand plan' to assemble 4 MR costumes as an entry for the big Masquerade at DragonCon2003.  By Feb2003 the shopping & sewing kicked into high gear but several disruptions right before DC resulted in only Green Fairy seeing completion, on Aug 28,  just in time to wear for RougieNight at DC!    But this rather disasterous christening into hardcore costuming brought enormous learning curves (like never underestimate how much TIME each costume takes!!) and I still have fingers-crossed for the makings of as faithfull reproductions of these incredible costumes as I possibly can.  As you'll see, far from daunted, the list of planned costumes continues to grow!!!

Gothic Tower Dress
2. Gothic Tower Dress  (17th March, 2006  (completed))
Satine's elegant black velvet gown, with hundreds of diamonds dripping from her neck!! that she wears to the Gothic Tower.  This Shadowcast version is velcro'd down the centre back, to enable 'tearing away' from the body just as the Duke does in the movie!!!  (Will need taking in once I get my proper corset made to wear under it)

Wedding Maharaja
3. Wedding Maharaja  (17th March, 2006 (completed))
Zidler's Maharaja Wedding outfit. I had the supplies to make this for last year's MOULINROUGELIVE! show at All-Con 2005 in Dallas, but time ran out. NOT this year however!

Very basic rendition; keeping in mind this costume needed to be shadowcast-friendly to enable speedy costume changing.
