So, for Dystopia Rising, I figured I would want a simple costume that is easy to maneuver in, but still fits the theme.
I’ve already acquired a red maxi skirt, a pair of goggles, and some fabric from Value Village.
I ordered craft foam from amazon. Here
And I have a working, super basic sketched design: 
I can draw guys, I swear!
The first thing I’m going to do, after I survive the madness that is a debate tournament, is cut and distress the skirt. The skirt will be slit down both sides and I’m going to be cutting it into a more triangular shape.
Next I’ll make the armor, I’ll post a step by step tutorial when it’s finished, particularly depending on if I use an old corset from another costume as a base.
The boots will be a pair of demonia combat boots I wore during my emo phase in high school.These will be slightly distressed, But I actually think that the durability is believable post apocalypes.
The hood piece will probably be made from a hooded jacket or sweatshirt which I will cut down to size.
Ordinary leggings will go under the skirt, but these may be distressed as well, depending if I can find a cheap pair I won’t mind ruining.
The goggles were three dollars at value village. I’ll add more pictures to this monday and post some work-in-progress pics as well!
In the mean time, please enjoy this delightful picture of emo Ren:
Incidentally, this absurd image was captured by our very own Robin
