“Well, I’ve read through that handbook for the recently deceased. It says: ‘live people ignore the strange and unusual. I, myself, am strange and unusual.”

RED CLOAK

  • I had my husband trace me, like I was back in elementary school and these were going to be displayed in the hallway(s).

  • Using a RULER, I began to measure out Lydia’s over-cape.

  • Taking into account some personal design elements (i.e. loop on end of tail. insert for removable wire, etc.)

  • Keeping in mind that this cosplay will need to be fabricated with the ability to travel and fly with.

Fabric: Silk Dupioni (54”) hand-made BLACK CHERRY
Like the ripe berry itself intensified with a black tint, you can almost taste the sweetness of this extraordinary deep red silk!

Silk Dupioni fabric is a crisp and luxurious fabric that is known for its slubbed texture and unique appearance. Silk Dupioni fabric is handwoven with 100% all-natural, hypoallergenic silk in a plain weave style using fine threads reeled from raw silk cocoons. This unique process creates the Silk Dupioni fabric's famous and somewhat irregular slubbed texture.

BEETLEJUICE (TV Series)
Fun Facts:

  1. Following the major critical and commercial success of the Beetlejuice film in early 1988, it led to an animated spin-off series being created by Warner Bros. Television. The production was provided by the Canadian Nelvana Ltd., The Geffen Film Company and Tim Burton, Inc. The series premiered on September 9, 1989, on ABC.

  2. Beetlejuice is an animated television series that ran from September 9, 1989, to October 26, 1991, on ABC, and on Fox from September 9, 1991, to December 6, 1991. Loosely based on the 1988 film of the same name, it was developed by the film's director, Tim Burton, who also served as an executive producer. The animated series focuses on the life of goth girl Lydia Deetz and her undead friend Beetlejuice as they explore the Neitherworld, a ghoulish wacky monster supernaturalistic realm inhabited by monsters, ghosts, ghouls, goblins and zombies. Danny Elfman's theme for the film was arranged for the cartoon series by Elfman himself.

  3. Lydia Deetz (voiced by Alyson Court) is a Goth girl in her preteens at the start of the series, and early teens later in the series. Lydia's favorite hobby is reading literary classics such as the collective works of writers such as Edgar Allan Poe, Stephen King and other Gothic and horror writers. She is established as being a creative, bright, lively, sharp, yet eccentric young girl, but otherwise Lydia's unique outlook on life makes her stand out from most of the other school-girls, which leaves her feeling out of place and alone in the real world, finding it difficult to fit in well with most of her classmates—leading her to frequently visit and seek out reassurance with her closest friend, Beetlejuice, in the Neitherworld, where she is accepted and loved for who she is.
