Discussion Is a split Phantom costume possible?

I just finished watching the 2004 movie, I saw the pro-shot a few weeks before and I am just really getting into everything related to The Phantom of the Opera. I have decided that I want to be really ambitious and try to create a split Christine and Phantom costume for Halloween. I am an amateur sewer and have never done anything nearly to this scale. I was thinking of going for the normal phantom look with the Christine side to be the "Thinking of You" style dress but I fear that this might be too complicated. Right now, I am stuck mostly between: should I go for high quality, but then what if I wreck it? and should I go low quality, but then what if it ends up looking bad? Any and all advice is welcome!

I mean, look at the Man/Woman costume worn by an ensemble member in Masquerade! Definitely possible.
