When you have a fez, you make excuses to use the fez.
A great fez cosplay is the Eleventh Doctor from Doctor Who. I suggest watching the show just because it is awesome, but you would have to wait until season 5 or 6 for the fez.

You never need an excuse for a fez, just an occasion.
Both could be fun. But Iceking's robes are going to get a little cold, because he only has briefs on underneath.
Lemongrab would look cool, but you'd have to do the Voice, too. Which might make people want to kill you.
That's strangely hilarious.
I'm sewing some Victorian lady bloomers (that might be the wrong era, my history is dreadful), and turning an ugly trench coat into a coat with tails. Fancy! My better half is playing a sort of a Les Mis half-drag character for a play...it's a long story. Anyway, it's fun to make stuff on the sewing machine!
Sounds like fun.
Are those bloomers or drawers? Bloomers were a reform garment adapted by Amelia Bloomer from Turkish women's trousers, basically big, poufy trousers gathered in at the ankle, worn with a relatively short skirt over them.
Drawers were underwear, often frilly, and always -- ahem -- open at the crotch, since there was no way to lower them once they were in place under a corset with all the other layers of underwear.
JUST started costuming for Dragon*Con. Got the first wig done today, but I'm still debating on the fourth outfit before I make the rest of them, just in case I can get away with using the same wig on two costumes.
Orianna, Dharma Trading has a cotton called Waterford cotton that looks nearly identical to linen, and feels awful similar, too. The downside is that it's only in white, so any color would need to be dyed.
I've never experimented with dyeing, although I have a project on my "to do" list that will require some kind of ombre dyeing. (I was thinking maybe I would try dipping white silk in Kool-Aid. . . . )
I haven't kool-aid dyed since I was a kid, but do not fear the dye. Ombre is all about timing. As long as you've got your materials in place, you know the absorption of the materials, and you're attentive, it is pretty straight forward. My only advice is - when you're going to dye something, it's the only thing you're doing (not half-watching TV, not watching the youtube tut, not answering your phone, etc).
