This is the thread I will use to post updates about the 1963 Myers clown costume. Will be updating with pics as progress goes along. First off I needed a clown pattern. My OCD kicked in and I noticed most the clown patterns I’ve found are not the same pattern like the one young Mikey wore. Most had a Raglan sleeve and I need something different. At first glance you may not notice but if your being very picky you will see.
I was getting these and you’ll notice the sleeves don’t match sewing wise compared to the original
I needed this type suit in a pattern and hours of looking even through vintage patterns brought up nothing
After asking on the RPF website someone suggested getting a one piece pajama pattern! And that’s it! I’m gonna use the pajama pattern for the legs and body then use a clown pattern for arms and also make it a size bigger so it’s baggier. Honestly you really don’t see his legs or his back and barely the front for any long moment so this should work fine! It’s the same type cuts. Just use the shiny colors and add the fringe.
Stay tuned for more updates and pics
Been working on the costume. The green looks dark in the pics. It will be on a 10 year old but I had a adult model it. Will definitely be more baggy once I fix the sleeves and add the neck collar etc. coming along pretty good.
Need one more rosette added and waiting on mask
