Construction Details:

I've wanted to do this costume for years, and even bought fabric for it a few times, but it just never happened. I finally put it on my schedule this summer and found the perfect indigo bridal satin (part of why it never got made is that I wasn't in love with the fabric I had). I thought it would be a simple costume, but the keyhole cutouts and scalloped edges proved to be a little tricky. I'm glad I waited until my skill was up to the task. I still need to make a custom crinolin that peeks out perfectly and do the tiny scallops on the scallops. I also want to either get a new wig or add some lavender highlights to the current wig. Edit: I shortened the skirt, added the crinolin, got a new wig (and added lavendar highlights to it), and fixed the headdress. I got beautiful pics of it but then my photographer flaked out and never sent them to me, so I need to get a good shoot in the newly made costume. Still, here are two blurry pics of the new one.
