Costume-Con 42 https://www.monty-doyle.com/?p=2495 https://www.monty-doyle.com/?p=2495#respond Mon, 01 Apr 2024 19:01:28 +0000 https://www.monty-doyle.com/?p=2495 Read More]]> We attended Costume-Con 42 (CC42) over March 29 through April 1st, which was held in Aurora, Colorado. This was the successor to Costume-Con 39 which I co-chaired in 2023. The dates/numbers were scrambled with the pandemic, CC39 was held the year after CC40 (and took the place of CC41).

As with all Costume-Cons, the focus is on costuming in all of its varieties — SciFi, Historical, Anime, Cosplay, etc. The Friday night social is an opportunity to see old friends and make new ones, as well as see the Single Pattern Contest. The Single Pattern contest is a variety of people making their version of a specified pattern (usually one of 3-4), and showing it off to the crowd. This year’s patterns included a 3-piece suit, a bathrobe, and a jumpsuit. 17 folks showed off outfits made from one (or even two!) of these patterns.

Saturday focuses on SciFi and Fantasy, and 37 entries crossed the stage. The entries ranged from a 10 foot tall Tom Servo (from MST3K), to fairy princesses, to anime characters, you name it, it was there! Sunday focuses on the Historical costumes, with 13 entries ranging from the 2nd century to the 1960s.

There will be separate posts for each day, just because the number of photos is large. And the photos also include a variety of hall costuming.
