Mrs. Lovett Costuming on the CheapDear MdNers,I really would like to put together a decent Mrs. Lovett costume on the cheap this year. I would not want to spend more than $100 on my costume in it's entirit. How would you suggest going about putting together said costume? Creative and/or innovative ideas are more than welcome! Thanks, MusicalGal |

Make it. Sew it. Bargain shop for fabric.
I made Movie!Johanna's blue dress for a little over $40. |

I love Johanna's dress! I wish I knew how to sew though...

When I find it. (The picture) ^^; It was my prom dress last year. It's a little lighter in colour than it is in the movie but I love it. ... *goes off to take a picture of it flat.*
YES. FULLY AGREE. I got all of the fabric for my dress at Hancock Fabrics on sale though. EDIT: I found it! (My prom picture.) It's a fairly big file though. Just a note, I haven't actually worn this as a costume, and I'll most likely turn it into a Christine costume in the long run. Also, I am overweight. And in a poofy dress. Just a warning. http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h9/Bealzabub/prom.png |

Lansbury!Lovett: easy to make, i'm sure. And cheap.
LuPwn!Lovett: more complicated but doable. Movie!Lovett: start saving cash now. |

hmmm...I would think LuPone Lovett wouldn't be too bad, because all you'd really have to do is a get a french maid outfit and alter it a little and add on black platrfrom shoes and torn tights. The black bob wouldn't be hard to do either, then again neither would the red-hair devil horn buns. And Lansbury Lovett could be done fairly easily with thrift store shopping and sewing. |

All of these are really good ideas.
I was thinking more along the lines of LuPone Lovett, because I don't have the cash for the fabulous movie Lovett. So I'll probably do some thrift store shopping, I have the boots already! |
