Happy in a Corner

I now have more concrete plans for Labyrinth costumes.  I have a friend who wants me to help him make the Jareth ball outfit for a summer wedding.  I think I’ve narrowed my interest for a costume down to the ball outfit, the red leather jacket or the classic throne room outfit.  While I love the white costume the cape is going to be crazy.  Finding places that sell synthetic bone is tough and don’t get me started on the feathers…  That’s up there on my dream costume list.

The Goblin King - Labyrinth Master Post

So, post GeekGirlCon I’m completely inspired to make costumes again.  On my list now

Jareth from Labyrinth.


Isn’t he fabulous?

I adore this movie, and since we had a big giant Labyrinth sing along to end the con and there was a brilliant Jareth there on Saturday I’m completely inspired.  I’ve been looking at wigs, patterns, and most importantly the spandex leggings.

My fruits so far:

Leggings: (In either the dark grey here or the lighter one in most styles, maybe black)

Boots: (color depends on the outfit I pick, grey, taupe or black)

Those eyebrows are fantastic.  And the glitter of the ball coat is beautiful.



  



   





  

I think that’s enough of a Jareth spam.  I can’t pick one of his costumes, they’re all so fabulous.  Luckily most have similar pieces.  This is going to be fun.  I think I need to go cap the film and pick my favorite outfit.
