Hi everyone

I'm brand new to this site and have only recently discovered "Firefly" (I know, I know, shame on me).

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew where to get a replica of one of two dresses that River wears in "Serenity". The blue one from this picture: http://www.nexbase.net/photo-gallery/Serenity/med_1122557261_1483
(careful of the popups)

Or the green one she wears when she's slicing up the Reavers (I don't think there's a picture of that one on the web).

Any information would be very much appreciated

Maybe you might wanna spoiler one or two sentences there... for the really spoiler-phobic among us.

I'm with you on Summer's dresses, they're gorgeous, as are her boots. If I knew where to get a pair I'd be a very happy girl.

"And your head's up your..."
"Hey!"

I'm sorry, I didn't think I included any spoilers. The sentence in question was from a ton of commercials I've seen and various screen caps on different websites. My bad, it won't happen again.

Thank you for responding

I imagine that all the costumes were custom made by the movie's wardrobe department. I'm currently working on patterns for both dresses (based on pictures and seeing the movie a bunch of times), and I think I have a pretty good idea of what's what. I'll try to let you know how it goes, if you're interested.

As for the boots she wears in the movie, someone posted this link in another thread:

These are pretty close to the ones River wears. The one major problem (minor, if you're not so into details) is that instead of the D-ring adjuster thingies, there should be regular old buckles with the straps not attached to the boot. Aside from that, I'm thinking about getting a pair of these for myself....

Cheers.

As of right now, there are no replicas of River's dresses.
It would be nice to have it though...erk scratch that...cheap but in good quality. Mal's replicated jacket and Zoe's vest are $300 each.

Hey Mer and Hell's Kitten

Thank you so much for the response to my post (I had almost given up on someone giving me any kind of useful advice or websites).

You know, I already got a set of boots from "Hot Topic" that looks a lot like River's boots:

(beware of evil pop-ups)

It's a bit of a stretch and they're a little pricey, but I'm not looking for exact replicas.

Ouch! $300 you say? Holy cow, that is quite expensive. I'm not in the market for exact replicas (I have nowhere near enough money for that). I'm just looking for something that looks somewhat similar.

Yea, I know you feel. Since River's boot's flatfooted, I thought of wrapping my feet and using buckles to hold it together. I dunno what I'd do for the bottom...but you know, those shoes you have from Hot Topic are pretty dead on. Plus, no feet hurting.

Hope someone who has this size gets them! Pretty darn close!

I want to go in this outfit of River's for Halloween, but I can't find any better images of it.....
Does anyone have screencaps of this outfit? Or pics from the visual companion book?(which I don't have *sob*)

hi there. I would totally be interested in your dress patterns. I am working on this too but I am super-new to pattern making and all I have is this hippie dress maker's model I made by wrapping my body in duct tape and stuffing it with rags. A neat trick to be sure, but... yeah. ^_^
