Easy enough costume, but more than just a closet cosplay. I got to play around with dye and paint which I don't normally get to do, so while it wasn't labor-intensive by any means, I still got some creative satisfaction out of it.
Vest was a lucky find at Goodwill. It was originally a light taupe color that would have been passable, but I decided to try dyeing it to a darker tan color to be more accurate and get more experience with dyeing fabrics. It just so happened that tan Rit dye was on clearance at Michaels, so I used that instead of a diluted brown dye. I wish I had used brown instead because it would have come out closer to the proper color, but oh well.

T-shirt was purchased from Michaels (would you believe their t-shirts are cheaper than buying one at Goodwill??). I used painter's tape to mask off the designs, then painted the design with red acrylic mixed with fabric medium. Usually when I paint fabrics I prefer to use just straight acrylic, since it goes right into the fabric and mimics whatever dyeing technique is used on "vintage" style t-shirts. I don't like fabric paints since they dry stiff and uneven, but I didn't have much of a choice since I didn't want to end up with a pink t-shirt. I used white acrylic mixed with fabric medium to fix any errors (the painter's tape didn't work quite as well as I'd hoped... perhaps masking tape next time.)

Technically she's wearing pants with a button/zip fly but I did not feel like buying a pair. I got a pair of black leggings and hemmed them above the knee. Technically the hem is supposed to be more calf-length but I have large calves so that cut looks awful on me. I used the leftover fabric to make the wristband.
