Carbon Costume

On the TV show Dave, Emma (played by Christine Ko) is Ally‘s roommate and friend.  Emma offers colorful commentary, and even more colorful clothing to the show, while also providing Dave with unique artwork for his live performances.  Emma and Elz hook up at the start of episode 7, and she borrows a grey t-shirt from him for the ride home.  Emma dons bright vintage-inspired clothing and wears her hair in two space buns.  Replicating Emma’s vintage sweaters could be difficult without a trip to a thrift store, making this costume a perfect opportunity to check out your local vintage scene.

Striga (played by Ivana Milicevic in the Netflix series Castlevania) is one of the members of the council of sisters. Her role in the council is serving as the head general to the army of vampires. Striga and Morana work closely side by side keeping Styria up and running. They are also in a loving relationship and are the main rulers of Styria when Carmilla is away. Striga has a serious nature and is weary towards rash decision making when it comes to the welfare of her empire. Her thoughtful decision making skills show her to be a great military strategist. Striga’s costume takes a considerable amount of wrapping. After putting on the White Gothic Dress fold the Black Medieval Cowl around your waist so that the fabric goes a bit above your waist and falls down to your lower thigh. The cowl has a pin but if you want extra security I suggest using safety/dress pins where you feel is necessary. The you will wrap the Wine Red Sash over the black cowl. Use the sash to cover up the cowls pin if it is very visible. The sash should go a bit above the waist and end close to the hips. This may also require safety/dress pins to keep tight. Once everything feels secure you can wrap the belt around your waist.  I suggest doing your make up now. The Costume Vampire Ears can be matched to your skin tone with the daily foundation you use. You can over draw your brows to make them look stronger if youd like. After getting the Vampire Fangs on, apply the Lime Crime Velvetines Liquid Matte Lipstick In ‘Gigi.’ Once your make up is done put on The Black Leather Single Shoulder Cover and Black Leather Spiked Bracer. Finally, wrap the Royal Blue Cowl around your neck and put on the Black Leather Foldover Boots and you are all set. This is a great costume especially if you are doing group castlevania costumes with some friends or a couple costume with someone dressed as Morana. Castlevania costumes work well for both cosplay events and Halloween parties!

As such he didn’t have much knowledge of wider vampire customs and culture until after he had already turned Louise and, later, Claudia.

He has a volatile temper that flares when his lust for earthly delights is denied. His character is tempered later by knowledge and maturity. But in the first film he is very much a pleasure seeker tired of seeking out thrills alone. And when he is challenged, the results are always destructive.

In life and undeath Lestat is a fashionable man. He wears his long wavy hair either down or back in a bun. Per the fashion of his time he wears a billowing white shirt, a brocade wist coat, a frock coat, knee high white socks, knee breeches, and buckle shoes. And, of course, his costume would not be complete without a pair of fangs.
