I am thrilled to finally be able to share with you this set of photos from my collaboration with Elizabeth Horodnyk.  This set was inspired by my favourite character on my favourite tv show, Joan Harris from Mad Men.  Joan is a strong, independent, bad ass woman who does it all while looking fabulous and elegant.  On top of all that Joan has curves for days, making her the perfect subject for me to cosplay.  The dress was made by me and the necklace is a replica of the signature necklace Joan wears on the show.  Please enjoy my little tribute to Mad Men and Joan Harris!

Joan Holloway: Mad Men Cosplay

 Today is the premiere of the 7th season of Mad Men!!  I have been a die-hard fan of Mad Men from the get go.  Not only is it one of the most intelligent, well-written and captivating shows on television it’s also packed full of amazing costuming, styling and set design.  Seeing all those beautiful 60s/70s outfits really inspires me creatively.  I just had to cosplay my favourite character from Mad Men, Joan Holloway!  To make this dress I bought a vintage 60s dress pattern and picked a very Joanie red fabric.  This dress is super comfy and I actually wear it to my work (as a receptionist) quite often.  I like to embrace that Joan strength and power when I sit at my desk as work.
