Construction Details:
The entirety of this outfit was drawn and created by me, after studying her pony version. I wanted it to transfer well onto a human body. I hope I pulled it off as close as possible. ;-; Here's the rundown:

1. Shoulders - 2 layers of craft foam with craft foam details. Spray painted with a couple layers of metallic silver. Engraved it with a regular ball point pen (hand drew) and added super cute sparkly gems!
2. Arm guards - Completely craft foam. Used thick white elastic to attach. Used metallic silver spray paint and black paint to add in some shadowing.
3. Breastplate - Wonderflex & craft foam combination. Painted on several layers of gesso, sanded, primed, and spray painted with metallic silver. Details was painted on with regular paint. Eyelets was attached in the back and used blue ribbon to have that 'corset' look.
4. Skirt - Elastic waistband, used a soft stretchy material. Actual skirt part is 2 layers of craft foam, metallic silver spray paint, details was engraved onto the craft foam with a black ball point pen, and did some shading with regular black & metallic paint.
5. Boots - Calf parts are made exactly like my arm guards. The actual shoe part is made from wonderflex.
6. Cape - Used red/orange/yellow/green/blue/purple sparkly satin, lined, and attached to my shoulders with velcro.
7. Wings - Used felt, fabric paint marker to outline, and galvanized wire to hold up. Tutorial credits calenloki on YouTube.

I ran out of time to finish her helmet, but I plan to make it when I wear this again, along with a lance & shield!~
Personal Thoughts:
