Hey everybody, I love the site and you've all been extremely helpful in the construction of my costume. I first found this site in my quest for the labcoat. Since it was so hard to find anything that looks close for a reasonable amount of money I thought I'd share how I got mine, and offer to help anyone who needed it.

So, do you want a perfect Dr. Horrible Coat? One that looks exactly the same as the good Doctor's? One that's as good as you can reasonably expect to find outside of finding the original prop and stealing it?

Well, I did. So I went to the younger sister of a friend of mine, who happens to be: 1.) a Dr. Horrible fan and 2.) an excellent costume creator (costume design is her major). She constructed, to my measurements, a perfect replica Doctor Horrible labcoat.

I'd like to share with you guys the results (mind you I haven't finished painting the goggles at this point and the boots and gloves are in the mail). But if you like them, she is both able and, if you'll make it worth her time, willing to create further Doctor Horrible Labcoats.

Without further shenanigans my costume thus far:

Doctor Horrible Overview (made to look far more snow-white than it actually is because of my turbo-flash):

Doctor Horrible Labcoat Back/Belt:

And for some detail, click here for a Doctor Horrible Collar Close Up so you can see how well she made it.

Here's a few of me actually in the coat, I'm wearing two long sleeved t-shirts under it, so it looks a bit more snug than it should be, but it actually fits quite nicely, I'm just too lazy to take more photos. 

So, your thoughts?

P.S. I'd be glad to take a few more photos if you'd like to see specific things. And answer any questions about where/how I got it. Thanks, and I love you guys!

Exorbitant? Well the hardest part would probably be the shipping.

I've let her know though, and she'll be in touch. I'm just glad you like the coat. I'm taking more pictures soon. Best Halloween Costume ever.

As an aside, are there any Dr. Horribles in St. Louis? I was thinking we might all get together at a bar and take pictures. A Dr. Horrible Happy Hour?

Wow,

I have to say we're both overwhelmed with all of your kindness. You guys are awesome. She is sure she can get one more done before Halloween, but after that it's extremely iffy.

Since so many of you want her services (and she has contacted a few of you who posted your email addresses) we need to know how serious you are about having one. It would be tragic to go through the process of making one to fit someone only to have them pull out at the last minute, denying everyone else a chance, and leaving her with a coat tailored to fit someone who was only messing around.

So if you're serious, send me/us a PM to let us know you are and make an offer.

Thanks guys.
