The 10th Kingdom
I got recommended this series because of my love of Alice and I now officially love this mini series. So I will be doing Virginia's costume that she wears practically throughout the whole thing.
I love the bright pink lining

Necklace:
I cannot tell what it is other than its a silver charm on a silver chain. A wolf charm would be cute.
Coat:
It is an extremely long coat with a sort of half Mandarin collar half lapels.
If you really want an exact replica I recommend commissioning CosplaySky into making it for you.

The Dreamer Outfit
I have been reading this awesome webcomic called The Dreamer by Lora Innes
Creator Lora Innes writes and illustrates the tale of 17-year-old Beatrice "Bea" Whaley, a student who begins having vivid dreams about a brave and handsome soldier named Alan Warren... a member of an elite group known as Knowlton's Rangers that fought during the Revolutionary War. Prone to keeping her head in the clouds, Bea welcomes her nightly adventures in 1776; filled with danger and romance they give her much to muse about the next day. But it is not long before Beatrice questions whether her dreams are simply dreams or something more...
I really liked Bea's (the main character) outfit in Issue 7, she's not having a good day in this scene

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
http://cosplaysky.com/cosplay-costumes/movie-costumes/syfy-miniseries-alice-in-wonderland-alice-blue-dress-costume.html
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.
Tongue, Heel Stripe, and Lining: Carolina Blue (Alice’s Dress)
Stitching: Dewberry (The buttons and trim on Hatter Coat)
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

Mad March:
I want to make his cookie jar head

Which would make a good t-shirt
