About this Costume
Construction Details:
Not a lot of construction to this one. I was lucky enough to find a lady's suit that fit and just had to shorten the skirt. I made the patches on the coat from scratch and put them on a US military coat to convert it to a Soviet coat. I had to do some research into Soviet insignia to some semblance of authenticity and confirmed, based on references, she was a Captain in a paratroopers division.

The makeup was the most difficult part. References vary on how dark and deep her burn scars are. This level of makeup is new for me and required layers of liquid latex and rigid collodion for the right texture and took over an hour before I was satisfied. I learned a lot from it and hope to use it again someday.
