Full name: Jean Grey
Series: X-Men
Variant: Movie
Cost: $150
When Completed: 2008
Inspiration: This costume was for our X-Men movie group for Wizard World Chicago 2008. Jean was never really a preferred character for myself, but now I seem to not be able to get away from cosplaying her.
Premiered: Wizard World Chicago 2008
Construction Notes: This is one of the ONLY costumes that I actually purchased and did not fully make myself. Though the seller only had size small left. So when I received it it was too tight. I could hardly get it over my shoulders and zip it up, and then once on, there was no chance of sitting or bending in any way. So that January, while doing an internship at Walt Disney World, I removed the lining and put 4-way stretch spandex inserts at the crouch and under the arms.
This costume has gone to several conventions, and the vinyl has started to peal where it rubs against the belt buckle.
This costume is RETIRED.
