Create a mage-themed costume, win INF
I'd like to give this a shot, since I don't have many opportunities to go outside my typical comfort zone in costume making, but one question: How do I go from the code to costume file that can be used in game?
sounds fun, if I get any spare time in the next while I'll take a shot at it.

2) Right-click, "Copy"
3) Open Notepad
4) Right-click, "Paste"
5) "Save as..."
6) Browse to your CoH install folder, open "Costumes"
7) Save as type: All files
8) File name: "Memorable name.costume"
9) "Save"
10) Open CoH, costume should show up under the tailor "load a costume" option.

Thanks. I'll get on that costume.
EDIT: I still seem to be unable to get it to work. :S
Here's my go at it. I think I have the right blue.
For some reason, I thought 'Witch,' which made me think of medieval times (must be all the fantasy gaming), and I wound up going this direction with it.
An alternative would be to put the Arcane border on the collar, but I went without it.
And here's the code:

As an EU player, not sure I'm eligable for the INF, but I don't care. This is based a little on the design of my Necro/Dark Mastermind, but with way less skin and more of a heroic mage look. I've gone for a pale blue with silver/grey due to the name.

Okay, so here's the deal, guys. I recently got the Origins Booster, and I'd like to use the Cloak of the Eight Circle on my main, Silver Gale.
The problem is, she has two different mage-themed costumes, and both of them already have a cape-like element.
Midnighter outfit, with sparkles.
Witch outfit, with new Runes aura.
So here is my challenge: create a new outfit for Gale. Some guidelines:
* Use the Cloak of the Eight Circle, obviously!
* Make it distinct from either of her existing mage outfits, but still mage-themed.
* Try not to have *too much* skin showing - as you can see, she's not really the sort to do that.
* Any color is okay as long as it's blue. More seriously, I have a marked preference for blue on Gale. Feel free to go nuts with colors, but I reserve the right to recolor it blue if I use your idea.
* Don't use bits from the Mutant pack - I don't own it. Aside from that, anything goes. Gale's my main and has every costume unlock ever.
* PRIZES! I am allocating a total of 100 million inf towards prizes. I know, I know, it's not much. What can I say, Issue 19's soon and I need purples. I will divide the 100 million among my favourite submissions in a way that seems fair.
Here's a blank Silver Gale costume to start out with:
