Lipumira - MAPS

Picture
This is a pretty simple costume. I don't remember the specific reason I originally wanted to do this one, but I probably figured nobody else would. I became somewhat notorious as The Ribbon Girl for several years afterward.

There's one question everybody asked about this costume, and the answer is double-sided tape. It's the only thing that keeps me in this costume, and while it can sting a bit when I take off the costume, it can't be beat for keeping me PG-rated. 

The ribbon is handmade from red satin, with piping along the edges. I was afraid of sewing machines at that time, so I sewed everything by hand.

Jewel things: I needed them to be super light, so I made a 'mold' out of plasticene into the shape I wanted, then put papier-mache over it and painted fake highlights and shadows.

Boots: I bought white pumps at Goodwill for $8, then made satin boot covers. They are attached to the pumps with shoemaker's glue and have a zipper up the back. I was extremely proud of them at the time.
