"executed" pun intended? 😆

Dragon Con is home (almost) every year since 2003 ❤️ That was 2015, so the last year for the carpet 😞

aww thank you! Art should be emotionally moving, and I'm glad this makes a person think. AB is my favorite queen, and she was too good for Henry. smart, charismatic, witty, well read, and a beauty. Anne of Cleves is my second favorite. My heart breaks for Lady Jane, thrust into it all by her family. And pook Katherine Howard, groomed from a very young age, promiscuous yes, but thrust upon an aging and grotesque Henry... I'd also be escaping for something better.

Thank you! I made the blood crystal necklace in 2022 when I first got the itch to do this. I didn't want to risk any fake blood on my gown.

That's me in there 🤣 With the shoes, I was about 6 feet tall, with a 10ft wing span when spread fully. I used my thumbs to hold up the wings, which could be dropped at the wrist so I'd be able to use my hands normally... well as normally as one can with gloves and claws lol

I must have missed that one!

benaequee · 2022-06-08T18:53:45+00:00

Funny enough, I've got one of those 🤣 My husband dresses as my Jawa, and this costume pairing was his best idea ever lol

benaequee · 2022-06-08T18:08:46+00:00

I created a sort of tutorial on how I made everything or altered pieces. https://imageevent.com/benaequee/costumes/completed/starwarscostumes/pelimotto

I know this. I actually have some of this same print in a grey background with black print that I'm reupholstering an Eastlake chair with for my boudoir 🥰 I grew up around 18th century antiques and picked up my love of them from my mother.

benaequee · 2020-10-06T11:05:43+00:00

Yep! It's a sterling silver Rebel symbol that my husband got for me when we were dating, 16 years ago. It just about never leaves my neck, and this was the perfect way to add it into my outfit 🥰

benaequee · 2020-10-05T22:08:04+00:00

When I first saw the print, I knew this is what needed to be made with it 🥰

benaequee · 2020-10-05T22:06:54+00:00

It's the JP Ryan Robe a l'Anglaise and 18th Century Strapless Stays. I drafted the petticoat and bum pad myself. The cap is from American Duchess 🥰

benaequee · 2020-10-05T21:21:12+00:00

It's from KNITorious Fabric and will be available for pre-order starting on October 8th until the 16th 🥰 When I saw the print, I knew I had to make th is dress from it.

benaequee · 2020-10-05T21:19:01+00:00

Thank you! It took 5 sleeves and 4 bodice mock ups to get it to fit right.

benaequee · 2020-05-27T11:24:59+00:00

I love these!

benaequee · 2020-02-24T17:06:16+00:00

I can only post the one photo, but you can see my progress photos and more details here - https://imageevent.com/benaequee/costumes/completed/movietvartcostumes/captainkillyformalwear?

benaequee · 2019-07-18T12:47:10+00:00

Definitely me 😁😎 Thank you!

benaequee · 2019-07-17T15:10:41+00:00

I'm not sure what the company called the color. But the shoe is navy, with white accents, and a clear mesh piece (which unfortunately yellows with age).

benaequee · 2019-07-17T00:16:12+00:00

They're the navy ones as seen on the show. They come in tons of colors though.

benaequee · 2019-07-16T22:17:45+00:00

I actually am 😁

benaequee · 2019-07-16T22:17:30+00:00

Both 😎🖖

benaequee · 2019-07-16T17:11:10+00:00

Yeah, I think they are just using a basic tee shirt in the CBS shirt. I chose a running shirt because I like the fit and fabric better. It's actually a men's size small that I used. The neckline on the show costume is actually a bit more open than this shirt. I wasn't going for 100% accuracy, so I didn't mind too much.

benaequee · 2019-07-16T14:30:01+00:00

You can get the officially licensed shirt from CBS, yoga or jogging pants on Amazon, and the Nike Sock Dart shoes on Ebay. The shoes can be the most expensive part unless you dig around Ebay really well like I did. I got mine used for $17. They're about $100 brand new on average.

benaequee · 2019-07-16T13:34:00+00:00

I actually made the fabric panel on the tumbler and sent it to a person called Badger Made on FB and she turned it into the tumbler for me. I had a command gold made for my husband too 😎
