Cosplay planning

So I have an expo in April. Haven't dressed up for the last 3 I've been too which makes me sad and crave cosplay. I have a few ideas, top of my list being Gaige from Borderlands 2. I'm not talented enough to make my own costumes so I have to spend the big bucks when I want a well made accurate costume.

  

I found someone who makes the vest and skirt, I could silkscreen and cut a tee for underneath and I found leggings! I have my Jessica Rabbit wig I was going to ask a friend to cut and style accordingly. Then all I'm missing is the accessories; belt, goggles and of course that mechanical arm. Anyone have a Deathtrsp stuffed figure? Or someone feel like making a costume and tagging along as my pet?

My other possible idea is Elizabeth from Bioshock carrying a small Songbird. Any other suggestions? I have such a hard time deciding what is even possible and what will look good. Then to find the funds...
