Regina

Simone wanted a costume for a game and contest at one of the role playing conventions that we regularly attend (Amber Con). The game was loosely based upon the plot of the film Six String Samurai and so with a strong "The king is dead. Long live the king" theme the character of Regina was born and all that we had to do was come up with a costume.

After various hunting around at retro stores and the like we came up with this.

There in only one piece here that required a lot of work and that's the cape. Even that wasn't too tricky, lots of rhinestones and an appliqué phoenix. Likewise there is an appliqué R (for Regina) on the front of the shirt.
