Hi i am planing on being River for Halloween this year. I have already obtained some really awsome boots that match her's from the movie off of eBay and now i am in need of a little help with the costume.
I am planning on making the costume she wears during the Heist scene in the opening of the film. i have obtained pictures of it from the Propstore archive but am having trouble comming up with a pattern for it. is there any one who could help me with this? if you can please post here or e-mail me at marvin.the.robot@sbcglobal.net

Thank you in advance!!

not the heist dress, buut.. this one if dyed a dark blue would be fantastic for the maidenhead dress. it needs some slight simplification at the neck http://cgi.ebay.com/ICE-BLUE-WHITE-SILK-FLORAL-LINED-DRAPED-DRESS-8-NW

here is the real maidenhead dress


here is the real heist scene under dress (well or so my theory goes.. because it looks awefully similar to the underdress from the heist its actually the dress from teh cockpit scene

Yeah i found the pictures of it and that is the under dress. it is just hard to make a pattern fro the rest cause i could only find pictures that show frontal views.

I found a dress on eBay that is really similar i would just have to alter it a bit but i don't know if i am going to buy it cause i also found a pattern that would work for the under dress and the brown shirt... the croche part is mainly the problem now.
