Carbon Costume

Rebecca-Diane is a character from the film Theater Camp and is played by Molly Gordon. The film follows Rebecca-Diane and Amos who have to join forces with other teachers in an upstate New York theater camp after the founder falls into a coma. These eccentric characters have to work together to keep the place running before opening night.

Rebecca-Diane has a style that follows trends but is also slightly mis-matched. She typically wears a sweater vest over a white shirt, a floral maxi skirt, and even adds a cream cardigan at one point. She always wears a light blue ribbon in her hair and a brown necklace that is similar to the one Amos wears.

Lucy is a character from the new Hunger Games film releasing this November: Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and is played by Rachel Zegler. The Hunger Games series of films are based off of the original books by Suzanne Collins. This film takes place 64 years before the original Hunger Games we know. In this new film we get to see Coriolanus Snow at 18 years old who is assigned to mentor Lucy of District 12 as the 10th annual Hunger Games approaches.

Lucy’s iconic costume is one that both features trends of today, historic inspired pieces, and a fantastical flare. She wears a canvas corset top that appears to be hand-painted with images of flowers and snakes that create the e age of a bow. There are also ribbons where the shoulder straps meet the bodice. This can be re-created by wearing a canvas floral fashion corset top and adding ribbon, or taking or creating a blank one and then hand painting with fabric paints. Under that she wears a “peasant” top which is historically inspired. It’s ruffled with a square neckline and poofy sleeves. Under this she wears a maxi tulle ruffled layered skirt that can be recreated by starting with a white skirt as the base and dyeing it in layers. The skirt linked here is synthetic, so using synthetic Rit dye will be very effective for this look.

Love Quinn is a character from the Netflix series You, and is played by Victoria Pedretti. You follows Joe, who works in a bookstore and frequently has crushes throughout the seasons that he would go killer lengths for to be with them. Love is a character we meet in season two and she continues through season three, where she becomes the antagonist. She is an aspiring chef from a wealthy family and starts a family with Joe.

Love typically dresses very feminine, with lots of sweaters and often an apron as she’s always cooking or baking. This would make a great duo costume with Joe Goldberg from season three.

Joe Goldberg is a character from the Netflix series You, and is played by Penn Badgley. You follows Joe, who works in a bookstore and frequently has crushes throughout the seasons that he will go killer lengths for to be with them. Joe makes for a great and recognizable costume duo with one of his love interests and a fan favorite character named Love. Joe has a signature look he has throughout the season, specifically when he is stalking and trying not to be seen. When he does this, he wears his ionic denim baseball cap along with a denim jacket and other layers. Add a backpack to complete the look or a front-facing baby carrier for a season three duo costume with Love.

Victoria Page is a character from the 1948 classic film The Red Shoes, and is played by Moira Shearer. The story comes from a folktale and published by Hans Christian Andersen. The film follows Victoria who is an aspiring ballerina who is faced with the choice of choosing between dance and the man she loves.

In the iconic ballet performance scene, she wears bright red ballet shoes that tie up with ribbon,  white tights, a blush or cream long tulle skirt, a leotard with appliqués and a blue bow in her hair. If you enjoy sewing and want to add the blue details to her top, sew or attach a blue ruffle/pleated trim along the edge that matches her hair bow.

PJ is a character from the film Bottoms, and is played by Rachel Sennott. Bottoms follows PJ and her best friend Josie who are seniors at Rock Ridge High School. They create a fight club together at their school to get the attention of her crush Brittany.

PJ has a big personality compared to Josie and this reflects into her costumes. While Josie sticks to cool colors, PJ wears warm ones with lots of red. One recognizable costume is her red rugby s oversized shirt that would make a great duo/matching costume with Josie in the scene that wears a blue one. Add a bandage to your nose and makeup to create a bruised eye to complete the look. Another look is this bold and colorful outfit with a multicolored striped shirt, black suspenders, and brown corduroy pants.

Amos is a character from the film Theater Camp and is played by Ben Platt. The film follows Amos and Rebecca-Diane who have to join forces with other teachers in an upstate New York theater camp after the founder falls into a coma. These eccentric characters have to work together to keep the place running before opening night.

Amos has a distinct style, often wearing a striped button down shirt worn over a graphic or solid to shirt. He also wears a brown necklace and joggers/ drawstring pants.

Orin Scrivello, DDS is from the musical film Little Shop of Horrors and is played by Steve Martin. The film follows Seymour Krelborn who works in a flower shop and discovers an unusual plant that he names Audrey II, that feeds only on humans and blood. Orin Scrivello is one of the villains in the film and is Audrey’s boyfriend. He is an evil dentist that is eventually fed to Audrey II by Seymour.

Orin’s look and character is inspired by Elvis Presley and features a black leather jacket when he is out of work, and as a dentist he wears a white shirt and black apron.
