Step 3Prototype
I'm mostly mentioning this because I have photos of it, but prototyping can really help in visualizing how you're going to build the final costume.
In this case, an action figure stands in for the mannequin, plastic coffee stirrers for structural pipes and craft foam for the body foam and papier mache head. Part of the problem with this costume was having only just enough of some expensive materials - I just couldn't make a big mistake with cutting anything or it could potentially have cost a lot more money. Getting a feel for the way things worked beforehand was worthwhile.
Also, I took the traced outline of a photo of the mannequin and overlayed it on an outline of the Carol action figure. This picture was then a reference for rough proportions.
