Thanks, Drew. The Etsy seller who made the spandex boot coverings suggested I get some sole protectors to place on the bottoms for when I do a lot of walking, and I'll look into getting those soon, but right now I'm taking a break from investing in costume accessories for a short while. As for the Evolution gloves, there's already a small seam coming loose between the palm and the wrist, and I'll need to sew that up in the next few days. I have the bridal gloves as backup, and if necessary, I may incorporate them with the scalloped gloves at a later time.DrewMasie wrote: ↑Tue Oct 18, 2022 6:21 am Nice job on the videos! I went through some of the same issues when I put my suit together, but I eventually I bought my gloves from Gaspar and boots from Duran. I made my own belt with a WS2 buckle, but I also bought a CY Productions version. The boot covers you purchased from Etsy seem a good choice for parades and such.
I thought about using dye on the light gray to get closer to the actual color, and I might do that after Halloween. I'll need to remove the chest logo first and either reattach it once the tights are dyed or I have one more emblem I can use.Finding suitable grey tights is a challenge, but I think your lighter grey set look better. You might try dying them with Rit dye to darken them a bit. I dyed a set of expensive dance tights which was a little scary but they came out okay. The WS2 tights (based on the screen used tights) are actually more brownish-grey than you might expect, and would be a good upgrade.
Thanks. I plan on going out to City Park soon and have my girlfriend take photos and video. I did a test run there a couple weeks ago before I received the Evolution gloves, and the costume got a lot of positive reactions and several requests for selfies. Hopefully I will get some footage from Chewbaccus to feature on the channel.Anyway, I subscribed to your channel and look forward to seeing videos of your journey and appearances. I think you'll have a lot of fun!
