The "Red" Queen

This weekend we traveled roughly 4 hours to Evansville, Indiana for a roller derby bout

Our travel team was playing in their first WFTDA bout (the big time)

Look a theme.. yes yes. 

We got dressed up 

P was the madd hatter and I was the red queen

Inspiration

My version

I took an existing corset added gold sequins trim, made a red skirt with elastic and added the gold hearts than took 24 yards of tulle and made a tutu using ribbon, made the septor from a dowel rod and wire and painted it gold

part of the half time show using mop buckets

yup thats P in his yellow plaid suit
