Legend: Dark Lily Costume

[Magpie]

I'm going to start making this costume asap, and am getting really excited for it! If you've never seen Legend then you really should try to see it's glittery goodness (no seriously, there's a LOT of glitter in that movie). If you have, you know what I'm talking about. Either way, here's a couple reference photos.

As you can tell, there's really not much for reference materials. I'm grabbing screen shots from the movie, but there aren't any great references of this dress that can help me with material choices. Anyone else have some references for me?

I hope these help. If I find more I'll add them here. Good luck!

This has LONG been on my list of costumes to make. It's definitely a daunting one with such little reference but the more you stare at what there is the more you can pick out! Definitely looking forward to seeing this come together!

Love love love this movie.

I prefer her white dress but this one is very awesome also. Looking forward to seeing your version.

This may help. Me and a friend did Lily and Darkness at D*Con years ago and had the same problem with reference pics.

Thank you all SO much! This definitely helps quite a bit!

I've gotten almost all the fabric needed to continue, just need to get a few more pieces until I can start putting everything together! Updates soon.

It looks like the inside of the collar is a black moire taffeta, probably a vintage fabric because the moire is pretty random. It could be a brocade, but the pattern is uneven, haphazard.

Hi;

I hate to resurrect an old thread, but I am in the process of starting a Dark Lilly dress myself, and I've got 6 weeks to go before it's done for D*C (no... no rush at all....).

Magpie, I'm wondering if you ever finished yours?

I think I've got the materials covered for the dress itself (it won't be 100% accurate, because... well... let's face it, I'm no seamstress and don't have the ability to make 100% accurate anything), but I am looking at the silver sash thingie and I'm stumped ? What kind of material is that? In some shots it literally looks like Christmas tinsel with some kind of flower on it. I'm not sure what I'm going to do for that sash.

Does anyone have any input on how to make the sash?
