Roger Manning Jr. Costume

[MADness323]

I am...-


Roger Manning from the band Jellyfish! (Also from Imperial Drag and Moog Cookbook)


this is his outfit from the Jellyfish video, "The King is Half Undressed"
I made the vest and the pants, and bought the shirt at GoodWill.


I tape my boobs down. Itchy.

I origonally used a Simplicity pattern, but I didn't like it (it was more like making PJs than bell bottoms!!) and pretty much did a full reconstuction of the outfit afterwards...
I also made a 'purse' that looks like a keyboard (Roger played keyboards) that I'll post later.

aww, guess no one liked it too much, heh. 

well, this is the purse to go with it-
