The fosshape will still be flexible even once it's hardened. Be careful not to put the hairdryer nozzle too close to the fosshape or you might burn it.
#FIFTH ELEMENT OUTFIT FULL#
Cut the shape out 3) Trace the pattern onto two pieces of fosshape and cut them out 4) Sew both shapes together and stuff the headpiece full of polyfill except near the very bottom of the piece (the part that will be around your forehead) 5) Using a hairdryer set on warm, slowly heat the fosshape headpiece until it begins to firm up.
1) Measure your head using a fabric measuring tape 2) Take half the length of your head's circumference and create a drawing of what you'd like the headpiece to look like on a piece of thin poster board. This is where you will use your fosshape, polyfill and hairdryer. It looks difficult but you'll be surprised how easy it is. This was actually my favorite part of making this costume. Unfortunately the wire I used didn't hold it's shape long after wandering through a busy Comic Con (and being bumped into by many people) so try a few options. Once the wire is secured within the dress (be sure to secure both ends of the wire to eachother before sewing the channel closed), you can then proceed to bend the wire into the waves featured in the costume's skirt. Through this little channel, you will be feeding the mold-able wire. When making the dress, be sure the fabric is strong enough to support a little weight (I'll explain why later) and that you leave a large flare out at the base of the skirt with a narrow channel. As this costume dress extends to your wrists, down to the floor and right to your neck, you want it to be as cool as possible.
Always remember to keep your costumes comfortable and functional. The problem with that was finding a dress of the right style & color not to mention how hot the dress would have become had we added the right color fabric over top of the dress. 1) Hand make the dress from scratch using light weight, breathable fabric with the help of a good sewing machine and a dress pattern 2) Buy an already made dress the same color and style as the Diva's dress 3) Use either a zentai suit with added skirt or a bodysuit with skirt combo For my costume, the initial idea was to build onto an existing dress. Here are your options for making the basic dress. Now this can potentially be either the easiest or most challenging part of the costume.
