Looking for costume ideas for CSTS Melbourne?
One of the fun things about the annual Can’t Stop the Serenity events is that it’s a great chance to dress up as characters from Firefly, Serenity and other Whedonverse shows.
And this year, we’ve got some fantastic prizes for the best costumes.
If you need some ideas, are looking for that particular accessory, or need a pattern, take a look at these costuming resources:

Thanks for the costume links! Couple of questions: Does our costume need to be home made? Are we allowed to wear a costume we wore at a previous CSTS event?
You can certainly wear a costume from a previous event. And it can be home made or made with professional assistance – but not a costume that was an actual wardrobe item from the series or movie. We look forward to seeing what you’ve got planned!!
Can it be made mostly from second-hand/opshop items?
Absolutely, Ryssia!!
