About this Costume
- Personal Thoughts:
- I made this costume based off the description of the costume from the novel. I bought a black unitard and hand-made every other part of the costume but the boots. I made shoulder armor, armbands and a belt out of multiple layers of fabric onto which I both machine and hand-stitched a layer of black satin. The cape is the coolest part of the costume. I made it out of strips of red, orange, and yellow organza. I spent two days carefully burning all the outside edges of the organza with a candle. This gave the strips of fabric a unique texture and made them look less like ribbons or streamers. Plus, because I burned the fabric, this costume was literally on fire. I feel that's fitting considering that Katniss is the girl on fire. ;)
