Holy Moses!!! That looks great!!! How did you attach your headpiece to the crown and your head?
Here is another progress pic of the sleeves and the skirt.

I probably sound like a broken record because everytime I see an update I just go "this is looking fantastic!" :lol But I do love seeing the progress and can't wait to see it all finished!

Never get tired of hearing that tune :lol

Aw....I'm glad you like mine, yours looks so great by comparison. First I tried hot glue to attach the head piece. That just peeled right off, so I managed to get my hands on a little bit of wonderflex. If yours isn't going to be permanent and want to use the crown for her other outfits maybe some kind of screw or snap of some kind? Something easily hidden? Just some ideas.

Thanks for the tips! I'll give it a whirl and see what happens

I've been working on the upper and lower sleeves today. I really need a mannequin.

 

[IllynReaver]

Oh man the beading on the sleeves was such a pain!

 

[tinabelle]

Agreed 100%!!! I don't think I'm finished with it either *ugh*

Wow!!!!

Here is what I managed to get done before I wore the costume at MegaCon this past Saturday. I have more work to do on it before I'm satisfied, but it is what it is for now The picture was taken by Howie Muzika at the con.

It looks great! I really like your crown so much better then mine lol I couldn't get the points to go up like that

Looking forward to seeing more progress shots. If you need more reference, there are LOTS of photos on Pintrest.

Where did you get the buttons??? Difficult to find!

I purchased these buttons for the trim around the chest.

I think I bought them on Etsy, if I recall. They were vintage buttons someone had for sale

Very nice!!! A lot of work but I would like to start making this costume! I didn't know that worbla is usefull for the headpiece. Did you make the crown yourself? Saw a very expensive one from etsy. Trying to make one myself with fiberglass en resin stuff.

At the time, I didn't have the patience or the know-how for the crown build. I ended up getting mine from a store in Italy. I think it was around $200 or so.
