About this Costume
- Construction Details:
-
When I was planning this, I knew early on I wanted to take some creative license with the fabrics. The dresses are literally made by magic, and I wanted something to really represent that. I settled for velvet and satin for the overdress for something that plays with the light interestingly. I didn't know going in that velvet doesn't stay put no matter how much you pray and pin, which is probably good, because I adore the final product but might not have done it if I had known what a headache it would be.
- Personal Thoughts:
- Velvet sucks but at least it's pretty.
Wig Details
- Styling Notes
- Ponytail clip was teased and curled with hair curlers before having layers cut in. Bangs are trimmed, teased and combed over, then hairsprayed into place. The flyaways that go over the bow are separate from the rest of the wig, attached to the bow clip.
