HEY G That's going to be a lot of black in the costume department

Blacks, greys, dark mauves....

Morticia's dress is a mauve stretch twill with a black lace overlay and mermaid ruffle of layers of black organza and net

wednesday is a cool charcoal & grey textural print knit

sounds fancy

Gomez is the bane of my damn existence, except for his burgundy satin smoking jacket with black velveteen collar

Can't you just rent a tuxedo for him?

Yes, he has a tuxedo for dinner

The rental eats into your budget?

what I want is a banker's stripe

what I can find, at best, is a chalk stripe

at least in budget

That sucks. In a perfect world, the rental place would loan you one in exchange for a mention of "Costuming provided in part by Bozo's Tuxedo's on 57th!"

Yes!

I mean, the cost of one rental would be seriously offset by a school ful of kids that will need (I imagine, not sure of age of students) prom rentals and etc!

the proscenium space tends to swallow details

so I need a VERY bold strip for it to read as a "merely" bold strip

stripE

E is getting fussy

probably getting this in the end...

but not nearly bold enough for my tastes

What about this:

Cheap AF, but much create the impression you're going for.

Or, better:

the quality of those will be SO BAD

I can paint a stripe if I need to

I just don't WANT to, it is tedious

but I can't make a crap costume suit behave like a real tailored garment

Fair enough. nod nod

Y'know the different between a cotton sheet t-tunic and a well-gored wool viking?

Of course! No argument. Just wasn't sure how close it might come to what you need for stage purposes.

BRB

back

Well, not everyone realizes the difference fabric & cut make in things

I admit I would not likely be able to tell the difference but then my eyesight sucks and I'm ignorant of fabrics

the wool is worth the extra 50 bucks

oh god, the pence link

Whew.... ok.

That was a good plan....

*waves*

So good plan; walk dog down the street to the bus stop to meet/pick up Things.

Discovered on the way; baby dog takes baby steps and is of the opinion it's too hot for this.

Took longer than we thought it would.

And next time we need to bring water.
