Step 4What to wear
It would be very easy to hide this whole mess in a baggy, loose fitting frock. However, I really wanted to challenge myself even further, and stay true to the form fitting clothes worn by Goldie's character in the movie. I altered a thrifted a Halloween "Vampire" dress to suit my needs, removing the sleeves and slitting the skirt. I needed all of the gear to fit to my my body and not look too bulky.
Basically the fit came from trying on the foam wounds, and then trimming down areas that were causing excessive bulk. The ruching of the dress was quite good for hiding imperfections and stretching over everything nicely. Holes were cut to expose the wounds and snipped to tatter the edges. I painted the dress ti give the fabric around the holes a burnt quality.
The fur stole was a remnant of fake fur I cut and hemmed to have hidden pockets for the batteries. Since I only ended up with one battery, I made the pocket on the other side open to my hand so I could counter the weight of the battery. Two batteries would have balanced each other out.
The entire outfit cost $20!
