Lady Vadore
Oh. Wow.
Jen of EPBOT decided to create a female steampunk Darth Vader costume, because why not. She’s been documenting her progress in stages, detailing her adventures in turning a flashlight into a lightsaber, not to mention the epic hackery that turned a plastic Vader mask into this steampunk confection.
She’s finally finished, and has revealed the entire costume. There are dozens of splendid little details, like a belt buckle made from a vintage compact (which doubles as a business card holder), and feathered epaulets.
Most of the costume was made from thrifted bits, and her build notes are full of great ideas for adding a steampunk vibe to plain articles of clothing. The whole thing is a fantastic source of inspiration; check it out!
