Dwarf lady costume

[bladespark]

We went to the midnight showing of The Hobbit this year, and saw a lot of people in costume. Most of the costumes were not so great, but they were all fun. And I would LOVE to do this again next year. But I wanted to get in on the costume action, so I am working (right now, since with the amount of free time I have this will take all year!) on getting together a dwarf costume.

Here's the plan so far. I have bought a belt, and have found the boots I want, I just have to order them. I've also ordered a nerf axe that I'll be painting and modifying to look more bad-ass. Everything else I'll be making myself, probably. Including the chain mail! (Which might maybe be scale mail because I think we still have some scales sitting around, and why buy chain links when you have scales on hand?)
