The Last Airbender
Note that the word Avatar is not in the title. That’s because these costumes are actual screen-used wardrobe from M. Night Shyamalan’s very bad ill-fated movie, which we lucked into for a very good price…
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Mark’s Link costume features decorative stitching, embossed leatherwork, vinyl-and-carved-foam sword, and a shield made of layered sheet and vacuformed styrene over foam. (Our first foray into vacuforming!) Alena’s Zelda costume includes a hand-embroidered skirt, appliqued…
Witch Hunter Robin
Robin was Alena’s second anime convention costume (waaay back in the day). It was long before any of us really learned how to sew, so the apron was constructed using a Days Inn button-repair kit,…
White Christmas
When The Historic Artcraft Theatre showed the classic holiday musical White Christmas, Alena (a lifelong Danny Kaye fan) and Ivorivet enthusiastically replicated the dresses from the famous “Sisters” number and appeared onstage and in the lobby of the theatre…
Lady Loki
Needing an outfit for a formal event, Alena designed a subtle (MCU) Loki-inspired gown with a (Marvel Comics) Lady Loki-inspired fur wrap and optional face plate. The dress is green satin, with metallic-scale and textured…
Clint Barton (Hawkeye)
Clint Barton in tactical gear from The Avengers. (Due to convention security restrictions, Clint’s sidearm and knife are not present in all pictures.) Characters
Loki (MCU Avengers)
Shortly after The Avengers came out, we made two screen-accurate Loki costumes. Their only real convention outing was at the Anime Central 2013 masquerade, which Laura and Alena MC’d as matching Lokis (and occasional variants,…
Star Wars
Alena’s Endor Leia costume was hastily created for an interactive event at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. Laura’s Mara Jade was made because Mara Jade is just awesome (and totally still exists, no matter what…
Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE
The great thing about Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE by CLAMP is that one could cosplay a different costume every time and almost never run out of canon! The characters constantly travel from one world to another, changing clothing each…
Kate Bishop (Hawkeye)
Alena is a big fan of Marvel Comics’ Hawkeye, particularly the Matt Fraction series. She put together a casual Kate (based on the cover of Hawkeye #9) to wear to events like Free Comic Book…
The Umbrella Academy
An entirely found-item costume, though most pieces were significantly modified. The vest is an authentic Tropical Combat Uniform from the Vietnam War. (The pills are all legal, and the booze is watered-down cola. Don’t do…
The Scarlet Pimpernel
Alena is a rabid Scarlet Pimpernel fangirl. By rabid, I mean she has read all 17 of the Scarlet Pimpernel books written by Baroness Orczy (and amassed quite a respectable collection of early editions of…
Mysterious Cities of Gold
When Laura and Alena were young, they watched a French/Japanese television program that aired in America in the very early 1980s. It went off the air by around 1984, and for years afterward, there was…
Star Trek
Ivorivet invited us to join her “Amok Time” group for Gen Con, so we made a set of baked potato outfitsStar Trek replica costumes. It was both Gen Con’s 50th anniversary and the 50th anniversary…
Universal Horror Monsters
For a Universal Monsters film festival at the Historic Artcraft Theatre, we dressed as Dracula, The Mummy, The Wolf Man, and the Invisible Man. With LVA as The Mummy. Characters
Speed Racer
Our original Speed Racer costume set was made for the midnight premiere of the 2008 film, but the costumes were later revamped (or entirely remade, in the case of Racer X) and worn to other…
Mysteriously Vanishing Star
Possibly the most obscure source we have ever cosplayed. Enjoy our renditions of sartorial genius O. Rick (the assassin coordinator), Hoshi no Mayeri (the brave reluctant assassin working to save her adorable younger brother), and the beautiful space…
Slayers
Slayers holds a special place of honor in this group, as Lina Inverse and Xelloss were Alena and Mark’s very first cosplay costumes ever. Of course, the first versions were… unpolished (we didn’t know how…
The Name of the Wind
We had previously done an extensive set of character photos for Patrick Rothfuss’s novel, so when Pat ran a photo contest on his blog and called for pictures featuring the new paperback release, we pulled…
ADGNEPSEF555
No, that’s neither a typo nor a keyboard smash! It’s the abbreviation of Advanced Dimensional Green Ninja-Educational Super Elementary Fortress 555, the best Saturday morning cartoon you never saw. ADGNEPSEF555 is a role-playing game from…
Plan 9 From Outer Space
When the, uh, “classic” film hit theatres again, we decided to have some fun — so we painted up our paper plate flying saucer, put together some terrible costumes, gave Mark an angora sweater (if…
Rise of the Guardians
We saw RotG at the late show on opening night, and (possibly due to the fact that it was a 10PM showing the night before Thanksgiving) we had the entire theatre to ourselves… which meant…
Good Omens
A last-minute change in plans two weeks before Gen Con prompted us to scrap our intended competition set. Good Omens had just been released, so we decided to jump on the bandwagon! Though the costumes…
Sailor Moon
Over the years we’ve done several costumes inspired by this series, ranging from our “Sailor Social Media” parody to the detailed villains group in which we MC’d the Anime Central masquerade (complete with boy band…
