I'm not sure where the whole "Blue" theme came from but it appears once they settled on it, they went the whole way. They even changed Summer's brown eyes to blue for the DVD cover. (Probably attempting to give it blue reflections, who knows...)

Glad we were able to pin it down for you and good luck with the project.

Hi,

I was wondering what costumer you are working with - I have been looking for a good costumer with fair prices.

Do you think he/she would mind having another client?

I also had a question about River's maidenhead costume

Does anyone have a good screencap of the blue kimono she is wearing right before the battle?

The costumer I use normally specializes in anime and video game costumes (so be prepared to provide a LOT of references). She's excellent at working from references as I discovered when I ordered that Yomiko Readman coat (which was totally shiny! Like literally - she made the inside lining out of shiny white satin, it was very nice). She's probably more than willing to take on new "clients", I'd guess, as she mostly works costume-to-costume. She has a store on eBay under the name "honestdragonchina", though she'll do custom costumes off-site if you email her (she accepts PayPal both off and on eBay), and either way, she works off of whatever measurements you give her to get a good fit. Keep in mind, though, she lives in China - so shipping's like 30 bucks to the U.S. But, I've yet to have a shipment fail, and she does excellent work, so I have no complaints.

Simple costumes (such as the Yomiko coat and River's dress) she tends to charge about $100 before shipping; the Inara one I asked her about she wanted about $20 more for, probably becuase of the more complex layers and ornaments on the costume, which would probably require more labor. All in all, a great price for good costumes that fit will. She seems to use a lot of polyester or other tough modern fabrics for some of the costumes, which actually is a good thing, seeing as they don't get dirty or wrinkly as fast or easily. ;)

I'm about to leave work, so I'll have to look at the other messages here later. :)
