About this Costume
Construction Details:
This has been my dream costume for many years, and I finally plucked up the courage to undertake it! It's from a very obscure series, but I loved the character design and the detail so much I just couldn't resist. This is the first costume for which I pretty much ent wall-out. It's also the first costume where I've had to make/use stencils on fabric, make armor, make a big prop out of something that ISN'T cardboard, and sew various items. Our group started making these costumes in September, and kept on working on them up till Thursday, the day before the convention. Not a single detail was missed, unless it was a result of aesthetic preference. Both my sister and I did everything to make our costumes except for things like cutting with the box-cutter or exact-o-knife because my mom absolutely forbade it. All the gold was handpainted on, and I even researched the actual characters to put on the tag (there are also little gold dots glued to the ends of the tassels at the bottom of the tag...). Tassels are handmade, and all clothes (where possible) are french-seamed. The dragonheads are handmade and painted as well; you can't see it here, but I even painted in the eyes on that dragon and shaped the individual claws. I think my only complaint may be the shoes... Mainly because they were uncomfortable to wear for prolonged periods of time because of a small error in their design. They were also made at like 1 in the morning on Friday.
