Molotov Cocktease


San Diego Comic Con 2010
Molotov Cocktease from Venture Brothers

One of my more cheaper costumes, but still pretty fun. The unitard was a plus sized item due to my height. Was taken in by a friend. Front and back were hand cut and sewn. The back piece had skin colored nylon sewn to it to keep it on yet flesh toned. Double sided tape lined my chest and stomach to keep the unitard in place. I plan on doing this costume again but will get a new unitard for it. I plan to not cut the back this time and sew in a bra to the front connecting it with clear elastic. I tried to do it as accurately as possible but unfortunately the costume is worn by a cartoon and is realistically very hard to wear. I made felt pasties to wear under in case the top came off, when outside the tape would come off due to sweat. Also not wearing a bra all day was pretty uncomfortable. The belt was made from strapping from a fabric store, next time I'd like to get something leather custom made. Over all a fun character.
