I have always wanted to make this costume. It took a lot of time thinking things through but I think it came out better than I thought it would in the beginning. Thanks to friends and family it worked. Now everyone is wondering how I'm going to top this costume but that's what they said last year. I just say you have to wait and see.

Step one: I started with the making of the wig. A good friend of mine suggested that we try spray installation foam as the base of the wig. I put my hair in a bun on the top of my head, I have really long hair and by doing this I did not have to use bobby pins to keep the wig on. We then put a wig cap on and a piece clear wrap just so I would not have foam in my hair. She sprayed the foam in rings around my head and let it dry. This took two and half hours to dry to where I could pull it off the top of my head then over night it dry completely. So plan ahead, she was a good friend we had lots to talk about. This is the base to the wig.

The whole costume I'm afraid to do the total...maybe $400.00. I know you could do it cheaper in different fabrics. I was going for the real deal and used window treatment fabrics and some costume fabrics. My sister is wearing it next year, so it will be recycled throughout the family.
How much did it cost you all together to make this costume?
