Invasion 2020 Costume

We are aliens from Venus visiting from Venus. Couldn't go on a cruise through the galaxy so we came to Florida instead. We used cardboard for the female aliens spaceship, lights that were controlled by hand, a wreath ring that was able to make the skirt teeter back and forth to make a floating illusion, both heads also had lights that were installed under layers of cotton and latex. With our glue gun we were able to make our brains on the head piece stand out. We were going for the Mars attacks look and were very pleased with the outcome. I made my hubbies cape out of curtains and cardboard. He had a strobe light that flickered underneath the robe and when he walked it seemed as if he was floating given I used a foam noodle as a support to the bottom of the robe inside. He used arm accessories that had retracting knives. We purchased the atm wrist pads at party city. I sewed everything by hand... and the result was worth it. Everything was made by hand with the exception of the wrists guards.
