starrisu: Thought I might upload some photos! My mother took these and given the circumstances on the day, it was hard to get any good ones. Some con photos are here and here. Everyone else was absolutely amazing too. I laboured to hell on this one. There are about 10 metres of black drill, 4 metres of green chiffon, and 4 tubes of paint in that. The shirt has a front panel with rounded points, and the mantle has two separate pieces, one for the shoulder points. I’m wearing a corset, and the striped dress is a mermaid tail with a train. The sleeves are bell-shaped kimono sleeves, lined with green satin. I didn’t have time to stripe the veil, which was a bit sad, but I did want to get some sleep that night. It was completely impossible to walk in, especially since it was pouring at the con, with my drapery and face paint and all - but it was worth the effort, I guess, maybe. The horns did not work out the way I wanted them to - they were too long and heavy, and I had to improvise with a dodgy headband to keep them on, if not well. And I ended up wearing those lace gloves, because the paint came off my hands and onto my costume. But yes enough ranting. It was a fun weekend, if hellish costume. Wow, this is my costume from June last year! It’s still my dream to do a photoshoot for this and get maybe some nicer photos. I put so much effort into it! -- source link
