AwesomeCon 2018

AwesomeCon was in late March this year. I decided to just do one day, and meet Gloria for Outlander costuming, and check out the Artist Alley since I had a couple of friends with tables there. We decided not to bring Elena since it was the tail end of flu season, which wasn’t great this year.





The most surreal part was this - we apparently passed right by the actor who plays Finn in Star Wars - but didn’t realize til right after he went past, because he had a hoard of people following him, apparently at least one of them live casting on his Instagram, which we were on.





We also met up briefly with Janine and Ron - Jyn Erso and gender bent Rey:

I saw this lovely Padme Lake dress:



This costume was awesome. The Swedish Chef (Viking style)

We had a small Outlander meet-up and Mike took some great pics!

Claire's gown from the Outlander episode "The Gathering" was one of my favorite looks from Season 1.   I really wanted to make it,  but where to find the fabrics? Because the fabrics are what make the gown so unusual.

I had thought maybe Spoonflower?  But then my friend Natasha spotted a very very close, if not exact tartan. And she did find the exact flowered brocade.

Prepare for some sticker shock.

The final result:

Much much more below the cut:
