Costuming people!

Anyone know of any good tricks to get shirt decaling off (not sure if that's the right term, but hopefully you know what I mean)? I successfully got a shirt with the right cut for the BSG pilot brown tank, but the front (that is now the back) has some decoration on it which I'd rather not have.

In related news, I have two new geeky outfits, one for the BSG finale and one for Watchmen, which will later double for Polaris costuming probably.

Question: Where did you find the BSG tank tops?

(Please ignore the roleplaying journal.)

(ps If I end up going as a pilot, can we be a Raptor pilot and her ECO?)

I got everything at Zellers. The grey shirt is a men's shirt because they have the right cut, while the brown is a woman's shirt turned backwards (which was a heck of a lot easier to find than expected...I actually got it first).

can you just turn it inside out?

It's an option, but the seams will show then and that will look sloppy. I'd rather try and get the decals off, if possible.

Are they sewn on? Because you could get a little dethreader [not sure of the specific term].... it's kind of a little hooked thing that you use to break thread where you want to unsew something. A bit easier to use then teensy scissors.

If they're not sewn on, but glued on or printed on, I'm not sure.

No, they are the glued/printed on type.

You might try steaming it off, not sure how well it would work.

That's a possibility I had not thought of!
