Westercon 67 Costume Packing List

For Debbie and all my congoing friends, here's the list of costume pieces I packed into a single garment-bag style rolling suitcase for Westercon 67 next weekend:


  • Regency Day Outfit, complete with EXTREME sunbonnet, chemisette, and reticule. Day Gown Picture
  • Regency Evening Gown of Burgundy and Cafe au Lait, with matching fabric for turban (not shown, and I might have forgotten my safety pins) 

  • Steampunk-ish outfit, with golden silk underdress (not pictured) and a chocolate overdress with wide lapels and giant buttons. To be worn with my straight auburn wig and a TBA hair something-something.


  • Fantasy Regency gown of ribbon-candy material (aka the most beautiful shower curtain that I couldn't allow to be thrown away) with a floating, sage colored, Asian-inspired spencer and historically inaccurate train. 
  • Cream crinkle medieval goddess gown with flowing sleeves and overzealously lace-trimmed velvet cloak the color of parchment.
  • LBD
  • ST:TOS Mustard Tee (Unless it is my turn to be the redshirt).
  • Caftan (ALWAYS pack a caftan, in fact, I have two on this trip, one here with me on the train and one has proceeded me to Utah)
  • White and Nerdy Tees
  • Black boots, Black sandals, Black Dance slippers, Black leggings for under stuff, Bloomers for under skirted stuff, various tights, steampunky belt, pirate sash
 What did YOU pack for four days...?
