Costuming: Sound of Drums, aka Skanky Jungle Girl

I desperately wanted to do something creative today, so I ran to Savers to pick up some costuming bits for SLAW. I'm playing in Sound of Drums, and my costuming hint was tribal, jungle-like, with furs and animal prints and leathers. Also, my character is young and has a penchant for collecting green baubles and things.

I found a cringe-worthy leopard print size 24 two-piece jersey dress for $4, then a few green scarf-things and shiny green ornament. The rest I had at home.

I also use a dressform, and if you don't have one but want one without the cost, here's a nifty walkthrough on making a dressform out of duct tape.

On to the skanky dress.

( Tutorial from the very base under the cut! No sewing machine required. )

So, there you have it!

If anyone else is playing in SoD and wants my extra fabric/arm or leg thingies/kitty ear shoulderpads/vest from the original dress top, let me know and you're welcome to 'em.

So what do y'all think? Questions? Should I make more tutorials like these?
