Description
and I went as Little Sisters from Bioshock. :3A breakdown of the costume and syringe I made for Hallowe'en this year.
The store was out of stock of red water bottles when I made this... I've now replaced the blue one with a red bottle, so the current version 1.5 is a bit more accurate than this pic.

Could you release the pattern for the Apron?

This costume is 6+ years old. I don't have it anymore.

Oh, Sorry! Thank you for the reply, though.

Do you have a video or more detailed tutorial on how the syringe was made?Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Nope. But it was really low-tech, so I can explain in detail here:
- Gather random junk indicated in the picture (words and arrows pointing to the syringe parts).
- Use epoxy putty to stick everything together.
- Mask the clear part of the water bottle with masking tape and newspaper.
- Spray-paint it gold.
- Use watered-down black acrylic paint to antique it (search βpaint antiquing techniquesβ)
- Remove masking from bottle.
- Unscrew the bottle canister from the top, stuff a bunch of bubble-wrap and an LED tea-light in there, and screw the canister back in.
- Done.

bodyline ran out of the l058 style in blue, but do you think thatΒ bodyline l448 would be a good alternative?
π: 0 β©: 1
No; L448 has a sailor collar.
You'd want to get a dress that has a white peter pan collar, such as L511, L230, L172.

so i can buyΒ L172? Would the skirt bottom be a problem since most little sisters dont have frilly skirt bottom (sorry for so many questions)

Since I've already answered this question twice, I'm just going to make something up this time:
"Midnight raid on a textiles factory in Turkey."

I love the breakdown of this. Very good work!!

Wow I love it! *_* How do you make the glowing liquid and led? O_O
π: 0 β©: 1
The "liquid" is crumpled-up bubble wrap, which holds light quite nicely.
Plus: no chance of shorting-out the LED, or leaking, because it's not a real liquid.
Our LEDs were colour-changing home decor tea-lights; I just removed the little plastic flowers that were on them before putting it in the canister.

Holy crap, once again, well done with the amazing construction of props and clothing. Damn, that's awesome!

Where on earth did you get a gas pump handle
π: 0 β©: 1

wicked cool!!
So, when you dye something with tea....you just put the tea in, right? [would hate to have to wash out the tea leaves. >_<] Never used tea before. LOL
And where in the *heck* did you find a gas pump handle?? O_o
π: 0 β©: 1
Yup, you just boil up a pot of water and toss a couple bags of tea in. I like to let it steep for a bit before I put the fabric in. XD
