October 2006 Made from a 4-way stretch lycra fabric with an ultra thin layer of PVC, pattern customised to reduce visible seams, white stitches sewn with a thin crochet cotton directly through the lycra. Corset adapted from c1900 corset from Nora Waugh's Corset's and Crinolines and made from one layer of heavy canvas covered in the same lycra as the bodysuit boned with cable ties, plumbers coil (aka drain snake) and 1" wide metal lumber strapping. Two sets of claws, first set from polypropylene sheeting the second from thibles and needle threaders glued together. Boot covers for initial costume draped directly on the leg and sewn from cotton twill and the same lycra used for the body suit. Cowl drafted on a head form cut to my head dimensions with a base layer of very thin felt the same body suit lycra appliqued over the top all seams positioned to lie under the deliberate white stitches.
