Mrs. Lovett Costume?

Question

I am a musical freak and i am mostly obsessed with Sweeney Todd, mainly the movie version. I knew the minute that i saw Mrs. Lovett that she would be fun to play and dress up as. I have seen some similar dresses to hers on ebay, but the only one i like is the red striped one from her by the sea song. i was thinking about doing a dress like her bakery one, the main kinda goth-y one. My mom can sew so i might help her do that and just make one, but i wanted to know if theres anything similar to it out there taht you know of. its pretty much self explainatory with hair and makeup and ive seen so many other posts that i think ive got that down i dont like the mrs. lovett costume featured on buycostumes.com that shows her in yellow and blue. any tips?

Answer 1

If you are trying to find a way other than making it, look up cosplay on ebay. There are many ebayers who make made to order costumes for conventions and also take requests.

I got my costume for AX from here:

Answer 2

McCalls & Butterick have great patterns for costumes you're looking for, then your mom could make it.

That would be the easiest way to go, and more cost efficient than buying a costume!

Try http://www.mccall.com or go to JoAnn's house of fabrics store and look through the pattern books in costumes.
