I'm sure it's not that good, but thanks! I'm really glad you like it. It was a blast to make.

As for the tights, no problem. I got them here: [link]
I'll say a few things about them.
1. You didn't specify if your sister wanted them for Phantom-related purposes or just in general. If she wants to look like Meg, the tights are not opaque (as you can see in the link). I am wearing a pair of black tights underneath them to achieve that effect.
2. As you can see in my picture, the dots are only on the front and back (not the sides) of the legs. Nor do they go all the way up the leg.
3. The dots crack easily and are not super durable. So if your sister is looking for something practical to wear, this may not be it.

That said, they were the best and easiest ones I could find and worked well for my purposes. Hope that helps!

Thanks!

That's too bad about the project. Maybe it will come back to life one day? I have a Red Death in the works, and boy has it been an interesting challenge.

Oh, now that is a very nice compliment! I hope you do go for it! And of course, if you do, please post pictures.

I love the colors and contrast of this costume. It's a lot of fun to make. I'm not an expert seamstress, but if you ever want to swap ideas, I'm always open!

Mm, I may have to take you up on that. I've never done anything drastic aside from repairs and helping with the occasional musical production, but I think this one is simple enough to be a good place to start. I'd loooooove to tackle some of Christine's costumes someday.

Thank you! And you're welcome (conflicting comment is conflicting!)

Well, you can always message me anytime. I love costume talk!

I like making Phantom replicas because, with all the different productions, you have some breathing space for personal adaptation. And yeah, this is a good one for time, fabric, and money. Relatively speaking, of course.

Breathing space is always a good thing. I love having the freedom to focus on certain pieces of a costume, and taking references from different productions is the perfect way to do so. Maria Bjornson was a true genius, no question about it.

And thank you again! Costume talk is indeed always a joy.

Thanks! It's a very fun hobby! I'm glad I don't have to worry about it doing it at the professional level, though. This takes up all my time as it is.

I posted a link to your deviation over at a Phantom forum I frequent; we have a thread about stage show costumes... many of the people there really liked it too!
