Robble, Robble.

The Inspiration

Seriously racking my brain for inspiration since the beginning of September, 
I was set to recreate something that was remotely obscure yet recognizable unless you've been under a rock your entire life. Once I came across this photograph, I was determined to make it my own. I take my costuming very seriously.

Robble, robble! I was to become the Hamburglar.

I figured it would be easy enough: stripes, cape, mask, burgers, and hat.

So, I made myself a shopping list  as a reminder to search around when I scoured my usual thrifting haunts. 
Let's just say I had a great success! 

The Execution

Thrifted finds plus felt embellishments.

My costume, all pinned and ready to be sewed and glued into place!

I got super fed up with the store-bought mask and decided to make my own.

Thus, we have...
