Post Malone - Blue Suit

3/16/2025

 
Picture
Picture
The process was pretty straight forward. While Posty's actual suit was more of a western cut Nudie Cohn, I didn't have the money to get something more accurate or custom made as much as I'd like to. So I settled on a regular blue suit off of Amazon and painted it accordingly. Unfortunately the color of the suit did not match the listing photos so the color isn't quite right but it is what it is. 

I bought some of the supplies at Joann's but since they are going out of business it seems pointless to link you to their site. Michael's also carries Tulip fabric paint, I use the soft matte. I have had a lot of success with it not cracking. I couldn't find the actual brand of silver paint I used for the barbed wire, but Tulip has one that looks pretty similar.

I did this in a little bit of a rush, knocked it out over 3 or 4 evenings after work. It looks pretty good but I do think I can do better next time. 

Wig - Custom $200
  • Why so expensive? It is lace front and was custom made for me by a theatre wig master in San Diego. She has made all my Posty wigs and my Sweeney Todd. 
Shirt - Amazon $19.99
Suit - Amazon $69.99
Belt - Already owned
Shoes - Amazon $59.99
  • I considered stoning a cheaper pair of shoes but time and cost wise it was cheaper to buy these instead and they look really good. I do think I'll stone the heel at some point
Fabric Paint- Amazon $8.99
  • Yellow
  • Brown
  • Black
  • White
  • Silver 
Rhinestones- 
  • Applicator - I already owned this but this is what it looks like
  • Big ones- These are cheapos from Joann's for around $8 and I don't think they look as good but stoning can get expensive. I do wish I bought nicer ones. 
  • Hot Fix- Amazon $12.99 
    • Crystal
    • Topaz
    • Citrine

Upgrades-
I plan on adding a lot more stones, I do not consider this look finished, but I wanted it base line done so I could use it and will add more later. 

Total $441.89
​yikes

Sweeney Todd

2/9/2025

 
Wig - $200
  • This was commissioned from my friend who is a wig master at a Theatre in San Diego. She makes all my Post Malone wigs as well. 
  • Why so expensive? It is made specifically for my head. She took a mold of my head so all the wigs fit perfectly, extremely comfortable. It is also lace front. 
Jacket - Amazon $38.99
  • Its not super clear in the photos but there is a built in vest on this jacket, I really didn't like it so I cut it off. 
Vest - Amazon $29.90
Shirt - Amazon $14.99
  • DO NOT IRON THIS MATERIAL. lol 
Gloves - Already owned
Pants - Amazon $29.99
Boots - Already owned 
Razor - Amazon $9.99

Total:  $323.86

Cosplay/Drag Jack Sparrow UPGRADES!

9/24/2023

 
The original costume, found here, was in need of some updates! 

Tunic- Amazon $27.25
  • Dye - $5
  • I had been using a tunic I already owned for ren faires, but it wasn't the right color or design. I finally got around to buying a new one. I couldn't find one that was the right color so I bought a white one and dyed it. I used a Tan Rit dye.
  • This item runs VERY BIG. I got a L/XL and this thing was a Scrooge nightgown! Size Down!!! 

Wig- 20 inch dreads -Amazon $19.99
  • This wig has gotten a lot of action and was very beat up. I spent about two weeks re-dreading the preexisting locks. I then added some premade locks to change up the color and give it more body. 
  • I used Got2B Glued hair spray and steam in the process of re-dreading. Got2B Glued spike gel to seal the ends. Provided are Amazon links, they are much cheaper at Walmart or Target. 
  • Steamer example- This is a portable steamer I bought to steam dresses for photoshoots with. I do not recall how much I paid for it. But the example is pretty close. This is one of the best purchases I've ever made when it comes to costumes. If you want to look like a polished cosplayer, iron or steam your outfit before wearing it. 
    ​
Rings- Amazon $25
  • These were a little pricey for what they are. But buying individual ring replicas would have been more expensive over all. And the quality is pretty solid. 

Compass- Amazon $25
  • I plan on painting this and making it more worn looking. But it also looked great as is.  
    ​
Monkey- Bought the skeleton monkey at WinCo for $10. 
  • Spray painted. While it is still wet, rubbed the paint off to leave it stained with dark creases. 
  • Glued bits of hair all over it. Hair was bought at Joann's for $6, I used very little of it and bought the smallest packet I could find. 
  • Glued his hands and feet together so he would not bend. 
  • Glued "Cursed Aztec Gold" ($8) to his hands in such a way where the coin won't rotate and show the non-movie accurate side. 
  • Glued magnetic strips on his butt and feet that will attach to strips in my jacket. These I already owned. 
Picture
Waist Sash- Joann's $12/yard
  • I bought three yards of the fabric just incase I needed more or wanted to make it longer etc. 
  • Finally found a similar fabric, been hunting for it for a while. It is more or less a giant scarf.
  • In the middle I put a panel of Peltex Stabilizer in it. This is a material that comes in different thickness and will give items structure. I picked a middle grade thickness. I wanted it it to keep shape but I didn't need to to be super thick, I just didn't like that my first sash scrunched up so much.
  • I bought a yard of it at $12/yard. I didn't need that much but now I have some on hand for other projects. 
Future updates planned:

Boot Cuffs - Joann's $9/yard
  • I bit off more than I could chew when it comes to upgrade right before FanX. I had bought about 2.5/3 yards of faux brown leather to make boot cuffs. Those will have to wait.  
    ​
Jacket embellishments-
  • In the future I plan to add the embellishments and buttons onto the jacket.

Total spent on upgrades: $201.25

Yikes, quite a hefty upgrade. I spent less than that making the original version. Woof! But dang it looks good. 

Drag - Sexy Wizard

9/8/2023

 
118.96Hat- Amazon $24.99
  • Added chicken bones to the brim to spice it up. I soaked the bones in hot water and scrubbed the cartilage and what not off. Left them to dry in the sun. Used wire wrapped in twine to make a small belt around the base of the hat. Hand stitched the wire to the hat. 

Wig and Beard - Amazon $25.99
  • Wig was good as is. The beard I cut a little to make the mouth hole bigger. Not the most comfortable but it did it's job

Belt- Amazon $19.99

Cloak - Amazon $35.99

Potion bottles- Amazon $19.99
  • Filled with blue Power Aid.  

Skirt/loin cloth - $4 a yard
  • Bought the fabric at Joann's. I bought more than I needed, 3 yards, just incase I messed it up or needed another layer. Cut out the shapes, picture and upside down flame. Then sewed the top as if I was making a curtain. I slid a regular belt through the panels making a skirt of sorts. 

Makeup- Already owned
  • The eyebrows I used Tag face paint, base was grey and used white on top to give it depth. Used hair spray to protect it since Tag is water based it will run if I sweat to hard. 
Contacts- Already owned, bought these at a smoke shop of all places. 
Boots- Already owned
Cuffs- Already owned
Chest Plate- Already owned

The nice part about most of this stuff is that I can re-use it for Ren Faires. 

Total: 118.96
Not including tax, no shipping fees

Drag - Green Cowboy

6/4/2023

 
Picture
Hat - Amazon $27.99 
  • This was a fantastic purchase. I am so happy with it. So freakin' ridiculous! 
  • I did run into a lot of things because of how big it was, got stuck in a tree. 
  • I plan on adding rhinestones and roses to the hat
Pants - Amazon $36.95
  • I couldn't find green chaps. So I bought these pants, cut and hemmed them. I highly recommend hemming them if you do this, the material is stretchy and if you don't hem them they will get warped and weird
Jacket - Amazon 34.98
  • Fringe and roses added
Roses - Amazon $8.99
  • I hand sewed these onto the pants and jacket. A lot of work but worth it. 
Fringe - Amazon $16.99
  • I cut open the seams of the jacket sleeves and re-sewed them closed with the fringe in between.
  • For the pants I sewed the fringe on behind the seam, the seam was very thick and would be hard to resew. This did however give it a little bit of structure and let the fringe pop out a little. 
Underwear - already owned
Nylons - Walmart $3
Boots- already owned
Chest plate - already owned
Glasses- already owned

Total - $128.90

Without sales tax, no shipping fees

Cosplay/Drag - Jack Sparrow

6/4/2023

 

Pirate Jacket - Amazon $39.99
  • Bought a 3XL. I originally got an XL because the measurements should have lined up. What they don't tell you is despite having "button clasp" listed, this jacket doesn't close. It's mean to be open like the picture. So the XL ended up looking super silly. I returned it and got a 3XL which looks a lot better. 
Wig - This is my Rob Zombie wig, so I already owned it.
  • Amazon $33.99
  • This wig took a lot of work to look like Rob's dreads. It comes as tightttt curls and VERY full. I cut a lot of the strands off the wig and teased the rest.  
Head and waist wrap- Amazon $14.99
  • The head wrap was alright. The waist wrap however isn't hemmed. Its cut right off the bolt. Very cheap thin fabric. The only thing that made this worth buying is saving the time not having to find and hem fabric. 
Hair Beads - Amazon $21.90
  • Personally I think this was way too expensive for a wad of random beads that don't really match Jack's beads at all. But time was a factor so I ate the cost to save on time. But finding beads would be rather expensive, you'd have to buy packs of each bead and use one or two from each pack which is a bit of a waste. So over all it is what it is. 
Beard - Crape wool
  • This is a material I already owned. I bought mine at an FX shop in Hollywood a few years ago.
  • You can find some here Amazon $9.95
  • Crape wool is easy to use but messy as fuck. You'll use a steamer or a tea kettle to steam the wool straight since it comes in a braid. You can use it straight from the strand but I recommend using a hackle to thin the hair out. You can also use the hackle to mix other colors in and color match to your own hair or a wig. This is a hackle.
  • Using spirit gum, or your adhesive of choice, layer by layer place a thin strip of hair to your face, working your way up in layers from the bottom of your chin up to your face. 
  • I then braided the strands and tied them with rubber bands. 
Doubloons - Amazon $8.99
  • ​These I gave out to audience members 
Boots - Already owned
Belts - Thrift store $25 
  • I can't believe how expensive thrift store belts are.
Under jacket/vest- Thrift store $8
  • I plan making a new vest to replace this one. But this works for now. 
  • I did cut the sleeves off to make the outfit cooler to wear. 


Total : $152.86

4/6/2023

 
Suit - Amazon XL $29.99

  • Bigger than you think it will be, its amazing. 
  • Has sticky tape on the back but I recommend using spirit gum
Mustache gifts - Amazon $9.99
  • Gave these out to the audience 
Barbells -
  • Made with a wood dowel and two paper mache balloons. Cover the balloons in paper mache, place dowels in base of balloons where the knot is, paper mache over dowels conntecting the balls to the dowel. Once dry painted black with acrylic craft paint. Typically you pop the balloons inside but I left them as is to give the weights some structure, these were made in a hurry and I need them to last one show.  And of course I didn't get a photo of them. 
  • Wood dowel - $3 Hobby lobby 
  • Balloons - $4 (only used two but bought a whole pack)
  • Paper - already owned, packing paper from moving
