Finally! After working on it for a month! My finished Mad Hatter costume. Featuring:

Random steampunk/Victorian inspired jacket (it’s actually super good quality and almost overly warm) and tutu I found on Amazon. I wanted rich jewel tones for these pieces and a big skirt to give a Victorian vibe without a hoop skirt.

Tights that took most of a day to find in a bright enough color, and a necktie that is just a headscarf that I found within 2 seconds of walking into a hair supply store.

Teacup holster that I crocheted and definitely did not give enough structure to support itself. But as far as I know, I am the first person to ever crochet a teacup holster. I couldn’t find anyone else on Ravelry or Pinterest who had so I think I’m the first!

Hat made from scratch from EVA foam and covered in fabric, ribbon, and bias tape. All hand sewn. The bias tape on the rim took 5 hours.

Overall, I am very proud of this costume. Yay!
