Planet Terror
Dr. Dakota Block
I'm in love with the Grindhouse movies and am so happy I was finally able to pull off this costume.
I made the camisole and skirt myself. The top is based on an older Butterick pattern and the skirt is my own design. Lab coat was reused from my CHEM 1000 class.
Dakota's "friends" are plain plastic syringes with the plungers painted the right colours.
I couldn't find any remotely accurate glass/metal syringes to buy, so those are home-made as well, based on miscelaneous glass and metal parts from a surplus store.
Aside from one Fan Expo and a photo shoot in Toronto's Distillery District, I haven't gotten to wear her very much, and I went sadly unrecognized at the con :(
