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.

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.
