Woa nice!

YES! I am so glad you decided to do this outfit. Your one of if not the only person I can think of that could do it proper justice, both in attention to detail and in how close you look to the actress.

You could be twins!

Beautiful work, as always, Julia.

The costume is very much in need of upgrades - but it's not bad for doing it in a week!

Guri

I can't get over how much you look like her!!!

*heh* yeah, that's why I decided to do this costume - I'm not really in love with it on it's own merits... which is going to make getting the motivation to do the needed upgrades a bit difficult. I need to completely redo the crown taller and more spikes, and the bodice needs to be stiffer... and the fur was just a quick 5 minute job at cutting because I needed SOMETHING...

I'm sort of liking the look of the dress the way it is - the texture. Mine looks a bit more like ice than the movie's version which reminds me of cob webs...

We'll see... if I have another reason to wear it, I'll do what I can to fix it up...

Guri

Wow. You were the stunt double, right? Great job!

Fantastic, Julia! This dress looks even better in person...congrats!

Okay, that's just creepy.

Wonderful!

Wow, what a resemblance!

You NEED to do the outfit the Gabriel wore at the end of Constantine.

Then post pix plz. B)

Julia, as soon as I saw pictures of the Snow Queen I thought of you. I just KNEW you'd make one! Looks fabulous! The likeness is uncanny!

Looks great!

Fantastic job! You ARE the Snow Queen!

Thanks everyone, you're all so generous, considering how I feel about the crown and the shag rug I'm wearing. *L* Hopefully I will find another place to wear it so I can get the motivation to upgrade.

I googled it and could only find this:

Is that the one? Anyone have any better photos? It looks very doable from that photo, except those wings look like a bear to make! And I'm not sure I'd want to cut my hair... maybe a long haired version of it. *heh*

I guess I should rent the movie.

The only one I currently have at work is a larger version of what you found:



If no one else posts any, I'll put some screencaps up tonight. As far as the wings go, they aren't always visible - - - only when she "manifests" them.

If you do rent it, I would suggest you do it on a "kids night out".

And this might get a bit technical, but here is a discussion on wings:

egads!! Wing construction looks just about as hard as I expected they would be... Thanks for the references, I've saved the link and photo. Thanks a bunch Nexus for anything you can get - but there is no rush, I'm only CONSIDERING this...

If I do rent the movie, it'll not only be to watch after the kids are in bed, but it will have to be when my huz is out on business - the reason we haven't seen it is he doesn't like those creepy kinds of movies. But watching it alone? Hmm...

As soon as I saw trailers for Narnia and how much the White Witch kinda parallels Galadriel, I had hoped you would do her costume.

It looks fantastic!! I hope you do her battle garb. I love the gold lionesque crown and the stole made out of Aslan's hair.

You truely look incredible. Good luck on the rest of it!

Julia, I've seen your work on other sites, and as usual, your talent is awesome!

I think it's unanimous -- those who have seen Tilda Swinton's White Witch all thought "hmm... wonder if Julia's gonna tackle this one next"!

Eeeek! That battle dress is chain maile!

Only one nit-picky detail -- your hair is MUUUUUUCH too nice for the White Witch. Her hair scared me. *shudder!* Wigs are your friend!

Can't wait to see what you do next with this!

I adjusted the lighting on some of them, to help bring out details:

Darc, I actually do have a wig I planned on roughing up and putting it in my hair to add volume and mess - but I simply ran out of time... Thanks for the compliment though.

Nexus, Thanks a 100x for all those!!! That is a fascinating costume - all the ties, zippers, and I especially love the hospital bracelets! This (besides the wings) is very, very a doable! In fact, I just saw some white stretch fabric that would be perfect for the shirts and under layer of leggings... hmmm....


Guri

Very nice.
