Mars is going as Adam Ant. A very CHEAP Adam ant! Ebay has a military jacket we can afford, but whether he still can by the time the Auction is closing remains to be seen, plus, by the time we get it, it would leave me very little time with which to work on it. It needs more buttons and braiding.
Boots! What a nightmare! He needs overknee Cavalier type boots, and a tricorn hat, which I could make, but it will probably turn out pants! I`ve looked at ex-hire, but the costumes are `one size fits all`, which not only look pretty tacky, but are hardly close fitting, not sexy. Belts and other accesseries are no problem.
We are going up to the NW Munch next week, so Mars suggested we check out some of the cheaper shops up there. He suggested Army surplus shops etc.
Any ideas which would point us in the right direction would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Venusxxx
