Rally Vincent – Gunsmith Cats

Made for: N/A

Background: I thought it would be a challenge to recreate her hairstyle in a wig, so I gave it a shot.

Wig: The wig is the major part of this costume of course… I started with a shoulder length brown wig and cut it at an angle. Then I wired the front pieces into the shape I wanted and covered them in glue. When they dried, I still had to do a little trimming and shaping, but it was pretty close. Then I did the other side, and it was done! It’s held up pretty well over the years, too.

Clothes: I bought the skirt and jacket on ebay, and made the tie out of red fabric, because for some reason I couldn’t find a plain red tie anywhere. The white button-up shirt I already had.

Accessories: I already had the tights and and shoes (they were my prom shoes!). The holster I bought online, but it’s way too big and is a pain to wear. I usually have to have someone tape it down in the back to keep it on.

Black Suit Version: In 2003, I wanted to reuse my Rally wig, so I picked out an outfit from the comics that would be fairly easy to assemble. Almost everything I already had from previous costumes or out of my closet – the jacket, boots and shirt were out of my closet, the pants I’d bought for another costume and never used.

History: I love this costume and really need to take new photos one day.
