About this Costume
Construction Details:
Patterned and sewed under/over shirt, pants, arm/ankle bracers, corset (with the use of duct tape to achieve the proper shape of the pieces), and scarf. Spraypainted cabochons for the studs and sculpted the larger ones that hold the suspenders in place. Applied strong adhesive to hold the studs onto the suspenders and used hooks to secure the suspenders to the corset.

Any details you're curious about, feel free to ask. Believe me, there's so much I'm probably forgetting when it comes to the specifics.
Personal Thoughts:
Easily more frustrating than I thought it would be. I've never had so many wardrobe malfunctions with a single costume than this one, but the end product felt worth it.

Styling Notes
Actually bought two of the same wig and added extra wefts to make it Dio-level thick. It was like hell getting all those spikes just the way I wanted and consisted of countless "heat train, snip, curl with iron, spray, trim" for each spike or two.
