About this Costume
- Construction Details:
-
Dress is made with an extremely thin, super light pink jacquard. I sprayed the hems with pink floral spray to bring out more of the pink while still maintaining a pastel look to it, to mimic the artwork. The shoes were also painted with floral spray. The jewelry is mostly worbla with some beading. I colored the backs of clear acrylic cabochons with a mixture of nail polish to give them an opalescent effect, and added swirling scrapbooking accessories for decoration.
- Personal Thoughts:
- This costume is one I've wanted to do for quite some time. I love the ethereal look it has, and loved getting to do more jewelry/beading work.
Wig Details
- Styling Notes
- I added wefts in the top to make the "mullet" more full before cutting and curling the top layers.
- Wig Review
- Arda wigs have kind of rough fibers that make for easier styling, but can make long wigs prone to tangle.
