We fiinally put this together after hemming and hawing about it for years. Here is a pic of my wife from a couple days ago at DragonCon. There are a few issues with it, but overall I think it turned out really nicely. Comments/critiques/thoughts welcome!

Great workmanship. Question: what kind of material did you use?
Fits right into that BR feel ![Cool](images/smiles/icon_cool.gif) |

Thanks for the comments. The fabrics are as follows, from the shoulders down:
White: taffeta, reverse side used
Blue: same as above
Medium gray: Shantung silk
Dark gray: Wool suiting material
Darkest gray: Lycra
Our blue could stand to be a little more muted, and also be advised that the Lycra is a lot more sheer (see through) than we thought it would be. No big deal if you add a black slip underneath, but the biggest problem is that it would never be used for a suit, and it isn't really screen accurate, but we haven't found another fabric yet that has that shiny metallic texture that the Lycra has. |

Thanks for the answer...it's always difficult to try recreating costumes and getting the right fabric/material for it. I like what you did with the Lycra, it adds something funky to the whole outfit ![Cool](images/smiles/icon_cool.gif) |

Awesome costume; the fabric choices are great! I was at Dragoncon 2011 and I noticed a cosplay who looked like Deckard, so I walked up to him and I said, "Excuse me, are you Deckard?" His reaction was awesome, he was shouting out loud "SOMEONE FINALLY RECOGNIZES ME!" ![Laughing](images/smiles/icon_lol.gif) |

We actually had quite a few people there who recognized us, but I think it was largely due to the combination of us, not either of us by ourselves (in fact, I had some people dressed as characters from Tombstone taking pictures with me, because they thought I was in western attire, in spite of the LEDs on my blaster). |

As the lady whom checked out the snake scale said
I think it was manufactured locally... finest quality... superior workmanship.
Truly great work on Rachel's dress _________________ Nicklas Ingels / Los Angeles, 2019 Webmaster
