I made this summer of 2012 - presenting Alice from Alice Madness Returns. I decided to do her misstitched dress since I liked the color and prints in it. I really enjoyed Alice Madness Returns - if you haven’t played it go check it out, its a game that knows what it is and it’s design compliments it theme so well.

Random costume info:
- The stripes on the shirt and the plaid print on the skirt were all sewn on since I couldn’t find fabric that would work properly for the costume.
- The petticoat for this costume is 4 layers of ruffled insanity
- For the onstage performance of this costume i constructed 2 puppet ruins :)
- The vorpal blade is wood and sculpey.
- I decided to go with a reddish dark brown wig for Alice since she has brown hair in the first game and after staring at her long enough in the character menu i decided that her hair had a reddish brown tinge to it.
- The buckles on the boots are actually for dog collars - i got a good deal on amazon for bulk dog collar kits and they ended up being perfect xD
- The doll head on the bow was actually from a doll we bought at a thrift store - what we didnt realize when we bought it was that it had some electronics in - so when we started trying to scalp it the doll started lighting up much to our horror.
