Dante, Lady and Trash I mean Trish.
But seriously, these costumes really are made of literal trash. Actually pulled out of a trash can.
Trish’s trademark lightning bolt bustier (totally secure without tape or glue!) was made from leftover vinyl scrap. Lady’s greed plaid skirt was made by stitching together scraps of green fabric taken from the trash, then painting the plaid on with acrylic paint and marker. Dante’s red coat and vest were actually sewn for this costume, but the sword Rebellion…. It’s trash, too, made of:
- a toilet paper tube
- a broken stick
- the stuffing from a toy that a Doberman shredded
- the cardboard core from a roll of Reynold’s Wrap
- the broken end of a PVC pipe
- a piece of aluminum wire
- the crumpled paper that came stuffed in the toe of a pair of boots
- hot glue
- some scraps of EVA foam
- duct tape
- Model Magic
- a torn scrap of vinyl
- leftover wire sculpting mesh
- the original Wonderflex blade from the Archangel Michael sword (later replaced with carved polystyrene, so this one was discarded)
The Trish costume cost less than $10 to complete. The Lady costume cost less than $20 (including boots). Dante’s was the price of fabric and our labor to sew. The handguns are designed to comply with Gen Con’s draconian weapons policy and are just paper mache L’s from Hobby Lobby, painted to resemble the individual guns in the game.
