Joker Costume for Halloween

[Lucius Fox]

Hey everyone; I'm rather new here. And actually, I basically joined because of this thread alone. And let me just say, all of your costumes are wonderful.

I really don't feel like spending $305.00 on a Nurse's outfit, and plus it's just not as funny when a girl does it. But I still like that idea better, because I know around here half the population is going to look like a bunch of green-haired people in purple zoot suits.

Anyways, I've been looking everywhere for a Nurse's outfit that doesn't look so damn ****ty, but my luck's run short. Think I should wait until around September? They might be coming out with a licensed costume, maybe?

Or maybe I'll just go with the suit because not many chicks will be wearing a purple suit (and plus, I can poke fun at everyone by saying this is also my outfit to prom). But once again, I don't feel right buying them from a costume store. At $160, I'm afraid if I buy the Grand Heritage costume for the Joker, the materials might not be right.

yeah im sure a light lavender could work... its hard to tell because the pattern is pretty dark and covers alot of the shirt

Dickies makes this wonderful dress which only costs about $30.

I'm buying one when i have the money. The only thing is, it doesn't have the pink trim. I'm going to add that, but i don't sew, so... I should be awesome.

Is that like it, by any chance? I can't find the exact dress online, but that looks close. It's very close in design to the Joker's nurse outfit, though. Thanks!

Oh, wow, that is very similar! Just missing a pocket, but I know a few people who could probably sew one on there for me. Thanks a bunch.

 

[BmorePrincess]

no problem

I found this: http://www.mynursinguniforms.com/dickies-60110.html

It looks almost the same, it just has the pockets and stuff.

Spaz: by the way, can u give me the heads up if u can get the printed material... that would be sooo awesome!!

 

[BmorePrincess]

double post

 

[Magic Griffin]

just thought i'd throw this into the mix...

as an alternative to the full costume i'm throwing together, i found i had a fairly similar shirt in my wardrobe to the Bank Heist opening scene... so now i also have a Bank Heist Joker costume!

purely by accident! joy!

I still have many scars left for sale and for trade. My last auction which included 2 sets sold for $510 I was pleasantly surprised and I must admit the positive response has been overwhelming. Just in case there's anyone here with items for trade (doesn't even need to be costume related :P) I'll gadly hear you out! Your trash could be my treasure! Willing to cut off a finger for some scars!? I just might do it! woudl make a hell of a nifty prop with my costume

 

[BmorePrincess]

what type of things are you looking to trade the scars for??

 

[BmorePrincess]

just wondering... who here made their own socks??

 

[Spaz40291]

Ok, I called this place by me that does Screen Printing. He said printing to a shirt with button = hard. No go, he mentioned a place close to me that does a technique called Sublimation, although he couldn't find the name of it.

I googled for a bit to find this treasure, http://www.dpi-sf.com/fabric_printing.htm


Looks like they do digital printing with no minimums....

Who wants to pat me on the back? t:

 

[BmorePrincess]

**gives Spaz a pat on the back and a HIGH FIVE**

 

[framed]

over here in the netherlands iam waiting for printed material for a shirt too the most are are running $$$$ on ebay and other auction sites.
the socks you can find on ebay from time to time.

 

[Spaz40291]

LOL, mentioned this company while my mom's boyfriend was here. His sister does digital printing. I'm writing DPI an email now, and he has a call into his sister. I'll keep you all updated. I maybe close to having semi-mass production of this shirt under way if I can find a tailor who wants to make more then 5 or 6 for me Not for 400 bucks either.

 

[BmorePrincess]

yeah i was looking at their prices... i guess its not bad but we would need how much to make a shirt... like 3 yards? that could end up being a little pricey in the end... it all depends how much the charge to actually sew the shirt

 

[Spaz40291]

What type of material would we be looking at if I can get this fabric printed? Cotton, silk, polyester? I think silk would give it that shimmering look that the silver in the pattern has. Plus with a vest and a jacket its light weight enough to keep you semi cool.

 

[Spaz40291]

It all depends on what you can find a tailor to make the shirt for. Honestly if I can get the fabric printed for, 7 bucks a square foot and the **** made for 45. You figure thats $66 roughly for almost perfect (depending on the tailor). Thats not to bad compared to the 400 on ebay. I'd do it.

 

[BmorePrincess]

how much would it take to make a shirt?

Oh and for thje material... I ordered one of those free swatch books because I wasnt sure about what material to use... they said I should have it by Monday...

The Poly silk looks to be like 7 bucks a square yard. If I can get the printing done at my mom's boyfriend's sisters. It will be alot cheaper, cause the fabric I will purchase and the pay her some for using the machine. As for getting shirts made once I get the fabric I will look into tailors. Unless someone wants the fabric to get it made on their own, then I should just ship the material.

 

[xxronin666xx]

what type of things are you looking to trade the scars for??

Skies the limit at this point...one guy offered me a jedi robe well another traded me Arwen's sword form lord of the rings :P...in other words make an offer and we'll see what happens. Feel free to PM me! ^_^
