Alice on the SyFy Channel


Alice on SyFy is one of the best mini-series out there, the best on all that I have seen!!! I loved Tin Man too though. Not only did I love the series, I loved the look of Alice. The series was completely AMAZING. I now own the DVD, yay!
You can buy it from Amazon, Target, Walmart, Barnes and Noble, Borders, or Best Buy (and I am sure other places as well)
It is also available on Bluray

I can't even describe how much I loved the show. In the show, costume related (my specialty), Alice is wearing a 1960s-ish mod scooter blue dress, red tights, purple boots, and a plum purple velvet coat that Hatter gave to her that was the exact length of her dress (which by the way Andrew Lee Potts is a very attractive and extremely lovable Hatter).

I am going to post where to find costume and prop replicas used in the mini series.  Please check and make sure everything is legitimate before you buy anything.



Alice:






 Dress:
Alice's dress had two slit pockets and was a light blue with two zig-zag ribbon things that went down the front in a U shape, as well as completely around the bottom once.
CosplaySky made an awesome Dress replica (which I personally own so if you have any questions feel free to post a comment or e-mail me: bellaforbiddenedward@gmail.com)
link to purchase it is below the images

Alice Costume Studies is getting Kalioseano to make her a custom-made Alice dress and coat, this is her sketch that you can use as a reference to make your own dress. Make sure to keep checking the Alice Costume blog for her costume updates.

I felt like designing a pair of converse based on Alice's Outfit:
If you want to make them go to design your own converse, it will cost about $62, you could do high tops like I did or low tops, or extra-high.



Outside Body and Inside Body: Royal Purple (Hatter’s Coat and Alice’s Boots)
Tongue, Heel Stripe, and Lining: Carolina Blue (Alice’s Dress)
Stitching: Dewberry (The buttons and trim on Hatter Coat)
Racing Stripe and Laces: Red (Alice’s Leggings)
Rubber Side Wall: White (Charlie the White Knight)

Ring:
of course then there is the Ring of Wonderland, Kay Jewelers sponsors the movie and I wish they would make the ring to purchase
If you are interested in purchasing the ring tell Kay that you would buy it if they put it out

Create your own Tea Shop

I would recommend BRF8 or BRF16

To make the label you could use something like
SHARPIE Paint Oil-Based Paint Markers that can be used on glass
"Permanent opaque paint markers are oil based, quick drying, fade and water resistant. Marks on most surfaces including glass, metal, rubber, plastic, paper, wood, concrete, pottery, and more. Set contains black, white, blue, red, and yellow."

I want to make his cookie jar head

Which would make a good t-shirt
The picture above would have to be redrawn so it could be made into this size and still keep its detail and quality
