My first and probably the best costume! I poured over Pixar art to make sure every badge and pin is accurate.
I originally came up with a great way of making fast embroidered-looking badges by printing out designs onto clear sticky-back acetate and then stuck them onto felt furniture pad stickers. The furniture pads got a few coats of white spray paint beforehand to lighten up the original beige color.
A lot of stuff was going on in this getup so things were bouncing around during the race. Should've really secured the sash down with some fashion tape. Sadly, some badges didn't make it to the 13-mile mark!
