Construction Details:

Tried to make this as economical and simple as possible, since it wasn't a super duper serious project. Most of it is constructed of anti-pill and Blizzard fleece from Joann. The trim is a "soft n comfy" fabric that sheds like a motherrrrr (0/10 would not use this fabric again, haha).
n
nThe coat was all patterned by me. I could've stood to make the hood larger, but oh well, it works for now! I flared the ends of the sleeves to make it look more fantasy and less "bathrobe"-ish. I also opted to add the blue stripes. A lot of times Taelia appears without them, but I like the color blocking they provide, and once again, help to make it look less like a bathrobe, fuahaha.
n
nThe wings are double layered upholstery interfacing with wire sandwiched in between, and fleece covering them. I used batting to make the 3D effect on the top of the wings. I also glued about 200 clear sequins to the white part for a subtle glitter effect. It doesn't always show up in photos, but is pretty neat when it catches the light while walking around! The wings slide through a slot on the back of the coat, and slides into a pocket on a waist cincher that I wear under my Taelia dress.
n
nThe dress was constructed as a tube top dress, it just slides on and off. The fleece is stretchy enough that no zipper is needed!
n
nFor extra warmth, I also made mittens with matching fuzzy trim, and I even have some fleece arm warmers that act as easily-removable sleeves for if I want shots in just the dress!
n
nI still am working on finding some cute white boots to go with this look. It's been pretty hard since I want something that matches Taelia's sort of "mod girl" aesthetic. Some dainty off-white platforms with furry cuffs would be good I think!

Personal Thoughts:

Thought it would be nice to have a comfy winter costume!! Turns out it is in fact warm and cozy, but can be a bit heavy due to the coat, hahaha. However, I adore Neopets, and would cosplay any and all of the faeries if I could! The only issue would be where to keep all of the wings and mermaid tails, buahaha.

How was the wig colored?

none

Styling Notes

straightened the wig and trimmed it just slightly in spots for a blunt cut

Wig Review

Wish I had just gotten the inigo instead of Greta, but I think Inigo was out of stock, boooo. Greta has some layers to it that I wish it were just totally blocky all the way down.
