Easiest Aspect: The jeans and shoes -- had them already.

Hardest Aspect: The vest! Fabric just doesn't come patterned like that any more, so I had to get fabric that had a white pattern on a white background and paint over it with fabric paint. I'm really happy with the end result, but it took 24 hours over the space of four days -- that's six hours a day, and I was working every day as well! I thought my arm was going to fall off.

Contruction Notes: The shirt was made by Dorset, a wonderful comissioner in Melbourne, as I didn't really have enough time to get everything finished myself. It's really nice, very professional. The wig is from cosworxs, and has a serious side-parting going on, held in place with a clip. It was trimmed to the correct length and then the bottom edges curled inwards with my heat curlers to give in that proper 'Sarah' hair curve.

Labyrinth is my favorite movie of all time, so I was really hyped to make this costume, and I'm really pleased with how well it came out. We did a dance routine too, to Magic Dance! But nobody videod it... ah well, some day.
