WHY I MADE IT
For Mandy's birthday in December, our friend Chris brought his Kinect and his copy of Dance Central. We all had a blast playing it, and as we are known to do, started looking at the character designs. They are so ridiculous, but the game is so fun, we figured, why not? Next thing we knew, we were talking about a Dance Central group, and out of all the girls in the game, Dare's design is arguably the weirdest, and the most fun! an EXCUSE to wear glasses upside-down, and rain boots? I couldn't help myself!
COSTUME CONSTRUCTION
There's a lot about this costume I'd like to fix, but it functioned well enough for it's first go around. It's made of two layers -- a dress made of nude-colored dance-lining, and a dress made of black nylon mesh. The nylon mesh layer is painted with puffy paints, free-hand, and then worn over the nude dress. Everything else was completely purchased -- the bracelets came from Claire's Accessories, the glasses were bought on Ebay, as were the rain boots. The wig is a piece of poo Halloween wig, which was originally purchased because I figured that was most likely what Dare was actually WEARING. I added straps of woven nylon to the boots, and VIOLA! It still needs some work, but for what it is? Kind of had a blast!
