How I made
this costume:
I chose
a black bridal satin and a beautiful embroidered purple fabric
(intended for Choir Robes - hence all the Crosses ^_~). Many layers
of organza sheers and tulle were also used.
I spent countless hours sewing beads over the embroidery to really
bring out the designs in the fabric. It was a task well worth
it in the end. I used mainly glass black fire beads and other
iridescent ones of many different shapes and sizes.
I drafted just about all of the patterns for this costume, all
the while enjoying the artistic freedom it gave me. My favorite
parts are the sleeves, but I find my little ear wings pretty nifty
as well.
Thoughts
on this costume:
Despite
having worn this costume multiple times to events, it's always
so fun and comfortable, never boring. I would however like to
try a different wig with it in the future, and maybe do a photoshoot
with black wings! I think it would complement the design!
