This original, hand-made Phoenix costume is from Sarah Downey. Thanks for sending in this incredible Phoenix craftsmanship. I think this costume would have looked great in the movies. Too bad they went for the all leather look instead. Please send in any of your original costumes and we will post them on the site.

Here are some words from the costume creator.

“Here’s the photo of me in the Jean Grey costume that won me a 3-day all-inclusive trip to Mexico   It’s totally worth it to spend a lot of time making a costume.  I’m attaching both the original photo and one on which my fiancee went crazy with Photoshop.”
