Description Last July (my, have I really fallen off the wagon for that long?) for Ikasucon in Ft. Wayne, I decided to spruce up my Jemima costume a bit. It was made for Halloween of 2008 originally, and you can see the first incarnation here:

:thumb102884324:

I've trimmed the wig, gotten entirely new elbow-length gloves and repainted them, given the torso of the unitard a fresh coat of paint and hatching and changed the shape of the bib, and also re-worked the traditional London/video design to fit my face. (In addition, I'm finally wearing proper Jemima warmers, although they aren't pictured here!)

Also, blue contacts - notice them? I bought them for another cosplay, but they really made a noticeable difference here, too!

I'd like to make her a new wig, do a bit more re-painting, and fluff her before being satisfied with her, but she's an improvement already. Revamping old costumes and giving them new life is so rewarding; you can see how your skills have grown!

Everything in this photo is my own work except the photography, which belongs to .

The video costume is, but I wasn't referencing it. I was inspired by a German tour Jemima whose costume was more purple/maroon than black, and my own love of color. There are many, many versions of CATS costumes, all varying from production to actor to designer.

I had no clue you were revamping this! I really like the brightness of the pink, which I think just works for so well. Are you going to twist the ends into spikes and set with black nailpolish or anything?

Thanks, I of course love bright colors, and I was inspired by a certain Jemima from a German tour who had a very purple costume when I first made it.

And I'm not sure; thinking about it. I might just make her a whole new wig, or experiment on the old one and see how I like it. This one has served me well, but it was also my first, and I can do much better now.

It'd be neat if you got some pink in a new wig so the colors match up more. Hm.

Yes, you've fallen off the wagon for a long time, because you don't have a premium membership, so you can't post a thumbnail picture anymore, silly.
