Where do you spend the most attention costuming, once you have the ‘basic outfit’? Do you focus more on further detailing the outfit, accessorizing, hair, makeup…

I love the accessorising aspect of costuming – hair, makeup, jewellery, Elf-ears… I only have two dresses so far, both of which my mother made for me, so the accessories are where I really get to participate.

I’ve never personally gone that far with a costume, being a grandma, and *looking* like one, I don’t get too elaborate with them. hehehe

@tolkienbritta — do you have really realistic ones (Elf ears)? I’ve seen a lot but not that fall both into my demands for realism and pricing, unfortunately.

@arwenundomiel — I have seen those, and I’m skeptical. I feel that seams like that are essentially even with the effect I get using invisi-Scotch tape and very careful time in front of a mirror… and tape is cheaper. I’ll have to post a picture of the effect I get that way eventually.

Granted, tape has the additional risk of catching hair IN it as it loses its sticky…

@arwenundomiel Well, that’s something. ((I -love- ear cuffs :3 my ears are often too small for them but I love them anyway.)) Would larger ear cuffs still work for that, such as the one in my profile picture?

I really want to learn how to do machine-embroidery to add interest to my fabrics…
