2007 Robbie Rotten costume

Robbie Rotten costume/Cos-play

Handmade by me for Halloween 2007.

Materials used: About 4 yards Striped fabric, 1 yard maroon silk, 1 yard white board cloth, black and maroon thread, 4 yards gold trim, black buttons, 10 silver snaps, 1 gold chain, and velcro. Accessories such as the shoes, navy turtleneck, wig, and belt were store-bought.

I’m a fan of homemade costume making and I really enjoyed this ‘rotten’ challenge. I searched out about 5 different stores for striped fabric that would match as close as possible and what you’re seeing is as good as it got — no disappointment at all however. ^^ Our friend, Lesha posed as Robbie for the purpose of this test shoot of the finished product ... Halloween on the other hand we’ll be GOING LIVE! Lots more pictures! <3

TOTAL SEWING TIME: 4 weeks, 3 days
