mercy_angel_09Okay, stupid spelling over with.
For now.
Anyway, as some of you are aware, I'm in a costuming group. I've spent the last two and a half weeks constructing my Care Bear loli and my Steampunk outfit. (I'm currently making a cheap-ass petticoat out of tulle, netting and a cheap slip from Target for both costumes.)
ANYWAY the next big costume event is my Goddess and my My Little Pony.
My MLP is taken care of. I just have to buy pants and make a jacket. I'm probably going to buy arm warmers as well. What I need help with is my goddess. Kind of. I am going to be Athena. I have a chestplate in the making (a cheap tee shirt and duct-tape currently, will be covered with copper colored vinyl and painted on), I'll probably see if I can order a Greco-Roman helm online, I have what are essentially gladiator sandals, but what I'm having issues with is the kind of fabric to use. AND COLOR. The pattern I'm using is a tunic-style dress and it will be white. But I do need to make a psudo-blouse that will be made of colored fabric that will be worn under the chestplate.
So my question to my LJ friends is:
When you think of Athena, what color do you think of?
Also, any fabric suggestions will be welcome. Granted you know your different types of fabrics. :3
Please and thank you!
