Also: REGARDING THESE BOOTS! I had a pair of boots that are also pretty darn close way before the movie came out but I got them at PAYLESS SHOES which is in most malls, at least in the pacific northwest. They are black suede airwalks which come up to the mid-calf, they are strappy all the way up but only two buckles.. and best yet they are only US$30! A good deal! I think they still have them.

The boots are actually quite easy to find; I've got a pair I bought for fifteen dollars at my local mall. Try Payless shoes if you have one near you; they're identical, and they're cheap. ^_^ As for the dresses, I'd love to know where to find them as well.

Payless shoes in Australia don't seem to stock the same as their US counterparts, I'm afraid.

Once I have another job, though, I'm going boot shopping at some places I've got my eyes on.

I made the costume from the beginning of the movie (from the train station heist) for opening night of the movie. If I can figure out how to post pictures, I will.

Also, I found a dress that is VERY similar to the dress River wears during the battle scene in them movie. It's made by Gold Hawk, but I had to special order it through a boutique in town. I have hunted all over the web, but I haven't found the dress online. It comes in "denim blue" which is the closest they carry to the color River wears (a kind of greyish blue that's lit oddly throughout the time she wears it). The dress is $160. It's as close to identical as I can find. My best guess is that someone got the dress and then custom built one for River's costume. It's different only in small ways, but hers fits her way too well, and her costumes needed to accommodate her movement, so it makes sense that it would be specially built.

Also, the Airwalk boots that someone mentioned from Payless are really quite close. River's movie boots have one buckle across the arch/ankle, and then two up the calf. I have the Airwalks, and the behave very much like her boots do (bend, slouch, etc.).

For anyone who wants to MAKE the outfits, I can make you a pattern to fit you if you are interested. None of her things are all that hard if you have sewing clue, and I can also point you to the fabrics.

Sorry I'm resurrecting an old thread, but I don't check on here that often these days.

River's boots are flat bottomed and the ankles are soft allowing for a lot of motion. They are not like the hot topic ones.

Does anyone have any links to similar dresses she wore in the series? I'd love to get something like the Objects in Space/Jaynestown outfit with the white shawl. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled!

a very dear friend of mine put together an excellent objects in space river dress complete with the crochet vest thing for under 20 bucks at a thrift store.

regarding river's dresses in the film, if you or someone you know can sew, you should go to the local fabric store and look in the patterns.
there are tons of very simple slip-like dresses in the pattern books. especially in the spring/summer (no pun intended) books.

you wouldn't happen to know if there are other places other than payless that those boots are at, would you?
