Creature From the Pit - First Outing

Here are some pictures from the first version of my costume, worn for Salt City Collect-A-Con 2016

Creature From the Pit Part 3

The boots were difficult to track down. The shaft is shorter in the front and taller in the back; there are loops in the front of the boots Lalla wears, so I looked for anything similar. I ended up purchasing black slip-on boots that had a seam up the front that I could modify. Luckily I have a machine that can sew leather.

I purchased silver Tarrago dye and began dyeing the boots after I cut and altered them. Once they are finished I will post pictures. So far they are turning out well.

Creature From the Pit Part 2

I purchased vintage Danskin silver tights, and I believe they look good.

The first piece I started working on was the corselette: I had a vintage dress that had a great embroidery pattern on it, so I used that as a template for my beading.

Creature From the Pit Part I

I started working on Romana's Creature From the Pit costume a few months ago, using June Hudson's costume design sketch, as well as watching the episode numerous times.

The dress is a high-low hem, with a panel stretching from hip to hip in the front.
