Lum – Urusei Yatsura

Made for: Otakon 2002

Background: A fun, simple costume for Otakon 2002.

Journal Entries: Read more at my Lum tag

Patterns Used: None

Bikini: I started out by buying a two piece swimsuit that had the shape I wanted. I found this fur at the local fabric store, and covered both the top and the bottom in the fur (using the swimsuit pieces as a basic pattern for cutting the fabric). I glued it on in spots so it would still stretch, and stitched it in a few important places.

Accessories: I made the little neckband (velcros closed), and then I made the gauntlets and boot covers based on my old She-Ra ones.

Wig: I bought the wig on ebay, and made the horns out of sculpey, which I then wired into the wig. I had to remake them in 2006, because I lost the original ones.

History: I’ve since sold this costume, but it was fun to wear 🙂
