Everything's shiny, Cap'n. Not to fret.

What's really weird is that the Maidenhead bar scene dress does not, additionally, seem to be the same as the dress in at least one of the movie posters - the same one which was used for the SVC book (which I have, of course, like the good little obsessive Browncoat nerd I am ) DOES have beading on the top, seems to have a completely different cut, and appears to have no pattern.

Now, i just looked at the big picture in the SVC and there is what may or may not be the same or ANOTHER blue dress, on page 9. The picture, however, is REALLY fuzzy and does not give many good details. Especially with Summer's hair in the way of the top of it (though it DOES show that that dress, at least, certainly does have a sheer top layer, which is also longer than the bottom layer).

Frankly, I may just have to do a composite of the two or three different outfits. Maybe have the dress be solid blue and with the sheer the same length as SVC p.9, but wear a black sweater thing with it like she did in the bar (I actually think I HAVE a black sweater thing VERY similar to it already in my wardrobe! O_O).

On the bright side, the boots have a very nice detail in that picture. They're cool little boots. I bet Hot Topic has something similar for boots, I think someone mentioned them in another topic on it somewhere. In a pinch, I suppose regular black combat boots would do.

Actually... paging through the book... on p.19 there is another, plainer dark blue dress... no beading, but no pattern either. It's from the bar fight scene, you can tell. Weird.

And if you look at page 29 (they're all nines! Weird)... no beading, but there's clearly two layers.

Was the costume crew as schizophrenic as River, or does River honestly own THAT MANY blue dresses, I wonder, .

Man, it sucks that my costume maker lives in China and isn't actually a Browncoat. Otherwise, I could just list page numbers, or show them to her myself! Hmm, anybody able to find a decent scan of those pages, though? Maybe those would work. (I cannot believe I did not think to look through the SVC first and then ask if anybody could find a scan. I blame the fact that I've been lately getting less than four hours of sleep a night. Though that's actually my own fault, the sleep loss. Too much internet and music and not realizing where the gorram time goes! )

What is it with Joss and the color blue, coincidentally? LOL. Blue Sun, Blue Hands, blue dresses... I like the color, but can you say "Whoa, that's a lot of blue!"?

And good luck, just the same! You should definitely post pics after you get the costume made so we can all see it!

Oh absolutely! Someday I may take her up on the Inara costume offer, too, although I would have to tame my usually-stringy hair into something beyond Presentable in order to pull it off.

I'm also going to an anime con the end of the month dressed as Misato Katsuragi from the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion (it's airing on Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim" lineup in the U.S right now actually), lemme know if you want pictures. The same costume maker I plan to go to for my River costume did the Misato one. I've also ordered a Yomiko Readman costume (another anime character, she's a quiet, nerdy bookworm who's secretly a secret agent. For the British Library, which is also a spy agency in "Read Or Die", the anime she comes from. I'm a dead ringer for her save for my eyes aren't blue. Even our glasses are similar, and we're supposed to be the same height and everything!) from her, it may or may not arrive in time for the con, but I'm hoping it will, because I can wear comfy shoes with it and it's a cute costume. :)

That dress can also be seen at the prop store link provided previously, but it appears about half way down on the first of the four pages of Serenity stuff.

...and yes, please link some pictures of the final result, it should be very cool.

That is so weird, though! I had no idea it was green. The film's cinematography it so dark, it always looks some kind of dark blue... I'll probably request it in blue, so it's more recognizable, but I'll probably used that design.
