Clockwork Orange
comments (0) November 8th, 2009 in reader's closetI've always been a fan of A Clockwork Orange and always thought it would be fun to dress like Alex DeLarge (Malcolm McDowell). So here is the costume I made and wore to a Halloween ballroom dance.
The shirt was McCalls 2149 Men's Shirt. I made the susspenders from straight elastic and susspender clips.
I had to make the codpiece. In the movie the codpiece is a cricket players groin protector, but they are very expensive, so I took cotton canvas and my own pattern, then stuffed it. I think it turned out pretty good.
Below is a link to a picture of the movie characters.
