Construction Details:

The dress was patterned using Simplicity 1487, the outside made from dupioni silk and lined with polyester for the sleeves. Due to deadlines I had to be creative with the 7 embroidered birds: outline and blue base was designed in embroidery software and done on my embroidery machine. The remaining details and hundreds of hours of beading, embroidery and goldwork were done by hand over the course of a couple of weeks, with the rest done slowly over several months in downtime.
nThe wig is a lacefront from Amazon, I sewed in extra wefts for volume and length to get close to her incredibly voluminous mop of braids.

Personal Thoughts:

I really didn't have much intention of making a Game of Thrones costume, but I had about a 2 week stretch for Dragoncon 2018 to fill and decided to just do it. Cersei was a character who began to become more human in the books, and in season 3, she shows a rare glimpse of sorrow and humanity, I wanted to convey that.
nDespite waiting nearly a year to get it photographed, I'm really happy to have invested the time to make it, and wear with Rynn as Dany at Dragoncon.
