Vintage Inspired Cosplay and Halloween Costumes - Dragon Con 2015

This year was my first trip to Dragon Con in Atlanta!  I was happy to see how many others cosplayed vintage characters or stylized a character in a certain era aesthetic. (See how I channeled the iconic Julie Newmar in my 1960s Catwoman cosplay.) I was too overwhelmed by my first convention experience to take many of my own photos  but I managed to find my favorites to share here for your cosplay and vintage halloween costume inspiration.

I've been wanting to make mine own retro space woman and I loved this cosplay from the Fallout Las Vegas video game! If you are unfamiliar with the game, it takes place in a post-apocalyptic future of 1950s culture. The character can be spotted on remnants of 1950s billboards for 'Rita's Cafe'.

This homage to the famous Schiaparelli lobster dress was amazing and I'm sorry that I didn't get a chance to ask her about it. It was perfect for the night at the aquarium!

Victorian Avengers were fantastic!

She was a stand-out contestant in the Costuming Craftsmanship contest. The amount of hand beading was unbelievable.

Agent Peggy Carter was spotted all over the convention - I loved this feel of this shot...

I couldn't put this list together without including the Captain America USO girls. They even had their own section in the parade!

The 1950s Super Mario poodle skirt ladies and Letterman Luigi may have been my favorite group of the con!
