Construction Details:
HOOOO BOY. Where do I even start?
nBow: plain black cotton, no interfacing, middle section is hand-stitched down, and there's a hair clip sewn to the bottom.
nCorset: black bottomweight, two layers, heavy-weight fusible interfacing. Every seam is topstitched on both sides, there's cotton applique for the white curly things, bias tape on the top and bottom, and a separating zipper in back.
nSkirt: pink polyester cotton blend with a polyester silk lining. It's a circle skirt and is fully lined and understitched. There's an invisible zipper in the side, and a waistband and hook and eye.
nSleeves: white spandex (DEVIL FABRIC) with opposite-grain bands on the top and bottom.
nCuffs: same bottomweight as the corset. Understitched on the top, topstitched closed on the bottom. White shank buttons hand-sewn to the sides.
nSocks: black knit with elastic in the top
nCoat: THE ACTUAL WORST TO MAKE. It's made of red twill, red polysilk lining, and white matte satin for the ruffles and applique. There's an invisible zipper and hook and eye in the back of the coat.
nGem: made by Pink Lemonade Cosplay (but I'd like to make my own)
nBoots: painted some black boots, the cuffs are white cotton and lightweight fusible interfacing and they attach with Velcro. The details are craft foam and white shank buttons.
nSpear: PVC pipe, a PVC sprinkler cap, insulation foam, and MDF board. Painted with spray paint and acrylics.

Wig Review
VERY HEAVY. Like, SO HEAVY. I need to add more clips and I needed pincurls to anchor it to my head. I also need to use silicone spray on the ponytail to keep it from tangling so much. I bought the larger size, but I should have gotten the smaller one I think.
