The New thread for talk of all things costumy - and related panicking. by seryn

ooh, very nice. Great prices. And some have the "buy it now" option.

Now, here's the thing. Don't you need a choli and a petticoat and all the other things to wear under the saree? It gets complicated. I need the whole outfit laid out for me.

I finished the grommits on one of Mai's front corset panels this morning. Only the other one to finish and then I am DONE DONE DONE.

you usually need a blouse (most sarees come with a 'blouse peice' attatched - if they don't, any top that goes will do, or i can find you another site that sells them) and a skirt.

she sells skirts for 2.99, but if you have a long drawstring waist skirt (i.e. one with an adjustable non-stretch waistband) then thats fine.

and then its just your saree (and underwear of course!)

My mum taught me how to drape them when i was a kid, and its a bit hard to explain, but if you get one i'll try and do diagrams or something.

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Multifab-Online - these are a bit more expensive, but i'd be very tempted, especailly as they have a service where they make the blouse and skirt for you.

hmm, this site does make the skirts and tops for you. Not bad prices, either, really.

Lemme think about it.

Here's a question for you: if I decided I wanted one, could I have it mailed to you, since if I ship it to the US, it'll cost even more.

You need something to tuck the pleating into, either a belty kind of thing or the petticoat/underskirt. Mind, you could just go as Inara in the sponge bathing scene and skip the choli. (;
There are many ways to drape a sari, regional styles and variations, but they all look beautiful and quite elegant.

actually, I had a semi-brilliant idea late last night when I couldn't sleep.

I want a saree, I'm making mai's costume. I'm thinking maybe asking Mai to buy my sari. So, if I have her order it, would it be okay to have her send it to you?

I haven't run this by her yet. It would mean me making an actual decision on a sari. They're all so very pretty pretty pretty. And I want the custom choli/skirt thingy, too.

I have to back and look at them all now I'm on a computer that lets me see colours proper-like.

Oh, good...a quicker-loading costume page!
Nothing to really panic over...things are slowly shaping up.
The major project I'm tackling right now is trying to build Mal's Firefly boots...I have the shoes chosen, and the spat constructed and I need to add a few things to them (zipper, ribbing, and the upper portion). I just have to figure out how to connect the two...no, I should say, I need to connect the two; I'm just putting it off until I'm sure I have this right. All manner of things shall be well.
By the looks of the pretty links y'all have been posting, I am looking forward to seeing these costumes!

And she would wear it, but only if it came in silk - she's a mite partial to silks and satins that girl.

Serenity - i love the rose coloured one, i was considering that one myself, but decided to go for a darker colour. Or not, i don't know. I mean, my favorite colour is green, but the introvert in me is counselling dark colours, but theres also the bit of me that recalls all the photo's of me in peaches and soft pinks that make my skin and hair come alive. So i'm totally stuck.

anyway, this is about you.

so i like the rose, and i think it will suit your colouring, but thats is an absolutely divine shade of blue that you will also look stunning in, so... i'm no help at all.

and a hat, maybe a hat, but i'll ask about that when i find out how successfull altering and breaking down my felt hat is (it will do for D*C, but in the long run, i'd love a leather one)

How much would boots or boot covers cost? Rough guesstimate? I know theres quite a lot of leather in them and its got to be a decent thickness, but would i be looking at a lot?

Ok, I am having a slight difficulty locating an item necessary for the completion of a costume...anyone here ever heard of something called "galosh hooks" or "galosh buckles"? Yeah< neither had I until a friend gave me a few. Turns out they are the perfect base for the buckles on Mal's coat. Only problem is that they seemingly do not exist for sale anywhere...check out this link to an ebay auction; the silver closures are what I am talking about:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3003&item=68518
41650

I have had no luck finding these. I appeal to my costuming sistren and brethren...anyone have any ideas where I may find these, or an alternative? They are a tension-closure, not unlike a larger version of a clip-on earring (I have tried those, and they do not work)...
Thanks in advance!

Seryn, I gave in and bought the rose!! It was calling to me.

It didn't cost any different to have it shipped to me or to you, so I shipped it to me.

And, I ordered the blouse and skirt.

All told, $64. Shipping and everything.

I am chuffed. Thanks for the link.

Now, you must get one! There was one really pretty yellow and green one. Or a nice dark red? Do you do red?

Bustin into your thread.

For those not brave enough to tackle an actual saree, how about salwar lengha? I love them. eBay item #180009792623 is an example (not an extremely good one, they don't have it on the right mannequin so it fits weird). They are a long full skirt, a choli and a dupatta. I like a big dupatta that is at least a couple of yards long to drape around, tucking it in at my right front waist, pulling it across my belly, then under my left arm, then up over my back and over my right shoulder to hang in gathers down over my right arm. It gives the look of saree without the danger of the whole thing falling off at inopportune moments.

The only problem is that it say it takes 4-6 weeks to come. so i may be asking if it can go to you and you just send me the blouse peice to make up, then i'll pick up the rest at D*C. But if i win it, i'll email him and find out what the avrage times are - i've seen things stated as months and they arrive a few days later, so i'll ask him what his typical times are.

but isn't it beautiful?

Okey dokey, I'm presuming you're not already involved with a costume shop in a theatricl group at this point.
Google for Theatrical Supplies
Try a university drama department or local theater group.
Check the yellow pages (or local equivalent) for Theater supply company.
Darned if I can remember where we used to get our shoe stuff.
I did have to stick a pirate-y bit onto a pair of existing boots one time and then dye them black. We used acetone (to clean it afore) and barging cement, then dyed the whole shebang. They looked pretty good. Warning: all very smelly fumey stuff that will give you a massive headache and make you sick if you do not use it in a well ventilated area.

If you're outside the US/Canada I have no idea what to tell you. Most of the above suggestions should still hold.
If you're in LA just spit, you should be able to hit someone who could make a better suggestion.

If all else fails just wander around a fairly good sized fabric store until you see something that might work. Don't be afraid to ask the clerks for help, they love interesting projects and can get very creative. Bring pictures of what you're trying to accomplish if you can.

Thanks seryn. That's actually a salwar lengha, like I was talking about. That one is mine, but my daughter is wearing it in the photo (she looks much better in it than I do). It's tucked in at the front waist, then brought around with the pallu over the shoulder.
