It took me about 2 days to finish the costume, although I quickly discovered hot glue didn't work on half the materials I bought - at least not in Baltimore summer heat! =___= 80% of the costume ended up being held together with duct tape, until I can repair it in the future. A friend of mine made the staff for me, and that will also be seeing repairs in the near future.

The most difficult part of the costume was actually the belt, which I hot-glued together only to have it fall apart on me over and over again. >__>; The costume was difficult to get into and out of, because it had to fit me exactly when my breasts were pressed down. The large pair of goggles I fudged by using sewing hoops, balsa wood, and spray paint, and I'll be repairing those soon too. And the shoes ... well, I'll just let you guess what they're made from. >D
