Looking for costume patterns/ideas...

[partly]

Myria has been working on fantasy costume for quite a while. We've been picking up bits and pieces of it at different cons we go to -- a cloak here, accessories there. She has a good idea of the type of blouse she wants (something loose with puffy sleeves, maybe pirate-y) and she'd like a nice bodice or (comfortable) corset type thing.

She wasn't thrilled about wearing a skirt, but she didn't think that pants would exactly work. Then we went to see Prince Caspian and she decided that the skirt/pants outfit that Lucy wore would be perfect for what she wanted. She actually totally loved Susan's outfit, too.

Are there any good places to look for good pictures of the outfits? Or know where I could get patterns like (or similar to) the Narnia outfits?

Thanks!

I haven't looked at patterns lately, but I have some projects coming up, so I'll keep an eye out.

padawansguide has some links on her site, including this one to high-res images from a promo shoot of Susan's battle outfit.

Thanks! There are some beautiful pictures on that site.

I know she wants something that she can wear comfortably all day/night and something that she can still be "tomboyish" in, all the while looking good.

Nah, she's not hard to please at all.

This is where knowing Lori comes in handy. Drop her a line; I bet she'd love to help!

Oh... good idea! Will do, I always forget she's not on LJ.

And speaking of Lori... I need a McCall icon. *grin*
