Marth costume update!

This journal will be the official Marth costume journal.

Ok, with 12 days left, I can now say that the progress gears are slowly creaking to life. Yesterday we went to the fabric and craft store, and we were able to finish the cape last night. I do need to tweak it a bit, but it is done. Today we will-hopefully-get the breastplate done. I say hopefully because my mom and I are disputing if we should use cardboard or not. I say that we do, she says that we don't. We'll just have to try my idea before we try hers, I guess.

Costume progress: 3% (Wig, tiara, unpainted sword, cape)
Last thing made: Cape
Next in line to be made: Breastplate (This will be interesting to make)

I say nay on the use of cardboard, but if that's the only option you have, then I wish you alot of luck...
I wish I could make costume for myself, but unfortunatley I don't have time OR the money at the moment..
Good luck with making your costume and have loads of fun!

I'm not making the whole thing out of cardboard, just the gold part so the foam will be supported enough and so I can let my own body give it the raised effect. My mom thinks that the cardboard isn't needed, but when we attach the strap in the back, the foam might get all screwed up. That's why I want the cardboard.

Thank you!

Ah I see, hmm..I see that you have given alot of thought..Of course I'm not the one making it, I can never do something so good. I probably could, given the amount of time and money, blah blah blah.. Man I REALLY hope that it works out for you. I me wants to see it when 'tis done!

AWESOME. Someone else has begun their costume with about 15 days left as well.

Good luck, and I am doing the same with my Spike costume!

Yeah, But I think I'll get it done in time. My mom used to be an art teacher.

Good luck to you too!

Well, thanks! ^_^ Of course! <3

I'll make it, even if I'm still working on it the night before the con. XD

Can I have a picture of who you'll look like?
