About:
This was a very complicated costume to make and, unfortunately, I did not have the whole thing ready in time for the convention. I did finally finish it though. The hardest part was that I had to make my own patterns for half of the costume. The dress is entirely made from scratch. I took my own measurements and designed a pattern that resembled the picture as closely as possible. The white stripes are satin ribbon and let me tell you they were the biggest pain to put on. If you want exact directions on how to make this costume you can e-mail me (web address). There are six pieces to this outfit. The pants or leggings, the dress, the skirt/belt, the jacket, the armor thing she wears around her lower chest, her gloves, and the boots. The leggings you cand buy and the gloves, and the boots just need some gold paint. The pattern for the dress I have and the pattern for the skirt/belt. The jacket is a bit complicated; it is six different pieces put together. There are the sleeves: you can use a regular pattern and fix the top yourself. The white jacket you could probably get a pattern for but it may need an adjustment here or there. There is the second blue collar on the jacket; it's rather normal. And finally the shoulderpads: I made my own. I think I mentioned everything. As I said, if you want to make this just ask me for more detailed instructions.
