Victorian Sweeney Todd bathing costume

[Edward]

I'm off to a seaside-themed burlesque night at the CandyBox in Brum next month, and I would like to wear a costume the same as Johnny Depp does in the "By The Sea" sequence in Sweeney Todd:

Any advice on where to look? I'm not able to make this myself, so I'd need to be able to buy it. Unfortunatley, so far a google search is pulling up a blank....

Help!

Thanks, Paddy, I'll check those out.

fftopic: haha, Popina is a half-mile from my old house! small world!

Popina only do women's swimsuits I think...and a downloadable version of the suit for a Sims character isn't going to be much help to Edward! lol

 

[Edward]

I wish I could just donload one onto me (hey, if I was an avatar, I could download a better figure too.... )

The avatar picture though is another useful visual representation of what I'm after, so it all helps.

I did have a hunt for a union suit, figuring I could cut the legs and arms short, but I can't find a B&W stripey one. Still on the hunt!

you could buy the fabric and take the picture in to a seamstress to have it made. if it is only for costume purposes i doubt it would be very expensive

when next month do you need this by? I would say that it would be an easy enough thing to make.

Since you've got a bit of time...what about a white union suit and some black fabric paint and do it yourself? Just a thought.

yeah, you could use masking tape as kind of a stencil to make the stripes

EXACTLY what I was thinking and failed to mention.

Yeah, I have thought of that with the white union suit - that's my fallback if I've not found something else by early August (even is on the 31st).
