I create costumes based on The Venture Bros Dr Girlfriend and other clothing items, be they from patterns or of my own design. I am no longer making costumes to order but hope to have some new creations up soon!

Newest Dr Mrs The Monarch
Here is my latest Dr Mrs The Monarch costume. I have made the crown out of lots of materials, with five points and four, and the newest material I've used is a piece of foam cut out into a crown shape with four points. It's definitely the easiest to use as it stands up on its own and cuts easily, but doesn't match the collar which is disappointing. The rest of the costume remains the same. This one is for a lady in Canada.

Kim - In Progress
Okay, so here's my first stab at the Kim outfit. I'm happy with the way it fits, although the collar could be snugger and ideally it wouldn't roll up a bit at the top of the chest opening. I would also tailor the arm holes better. But this is a first try at it so I can't complain too much. I still need to adhere the 'plates' that cover the zipper, I've made those from foam and glued black pieces onto grey, and they are drying now. I'll attach them with velcro (sewn to the top, glued to the foam) so I can remove them when I need to unzip the piece. The skirt is next!

Dr Girlfriend Jackie O and Mall Outfits
Here is my latest incarnation of the Dr Girlfriend Jackie O dress and a Mall Outfit I made for a customer in Florida. The Jackie O dress has the triangular front flap instead of the flat, diagonal flap I have previously used, as this is one way the dress is illustrated in the Venture Bros. The mall outfit has slightly smaller circles than my previous ones, as the dress itself is smaller as my customer is a small person. Still working on the Kim outfit - pics to come!

Lucy Top
I whipped up this little top this afternoon from some leftover fabric from my latest Dr Girlfriend costume. It's pretty revealing which is why it isn't being modelled, and it is made of bright pink lycra with a cross-over halter neck tie. It would be great for clubbing paired with a little black skirt!
