DIY Dot Matrix from Spaceballs Costume

I started with a gold bodysuit, then went to second hand charity clothing shops and found a skirt and gold table runner which I sewed and sprayed parts. I was then lucky enough to find the gold shoes, metallic belt from a Roman costume, and used gold material to make neck coverings, and hinge points on my elbows and knees. Next I cut a brown wig, styled it and airated it gold. The top consists of a puffy sleeved top, cut, with the sleeves stuffed with old pillow material. (it was time to change the pillows anyway). Then I put a glittery tank top over that and made the bust from cardboard and tape and hand painted the alarm on it. I also wore gold necklaces to attach butterfly clips to the bust to keep it on. The mask was a normal yellow party mask which I then sculpted in clay and later used paper mache in parts because the wind smashed parts of the clay… and of course lots more spray paint….and voila, Dot Matrix!
