| Will be worn to: Ayacon 2013 About Satine: "The most sort after courtesan at the Moulin Rouge, headling acts being beautiful and incredibly talented she aspires to become a famous actress and get away from her current occupant servicing wealthy men. Falling in love with a pennyless writer called Christian she vows to not sleep withThe Duke and remain faithful to him. Sadly her life is but a tragedy and no matter how much she loves Christian love cannot change her fate." About the Cosplay: I'm making the entire costume (exception being wig & shoes) the fabric will be duchess satin hand painted for where the embroidery is and sewing beading onto it. The necklace will be made out of jewelry bits mostly from scratch to get it as accurate as possible and the headdress will be a mixture of painted craft foam, beading and jewellery bits. Moulin Rouge is myfavourite (non-scifi) film. I remember going to watch it in the cinema and falling in love with it (though I prefer having it on DVD can stop it before the finale :) happy endings all round that way :D) Since I like a little bit of theatrics I'm making this dress for my graduation Ball, I won't wear the full costume so no ig, not sure about the headdress yet, but will re-wear for Ayacon :D. Budget: £100 | |

Journal

The Beastly Necklace (Posted 22nd April 2013) The cost of making this necklace has been about £50 and considering I made it from scratch, has be the most expensive aspect of this costume. Spending about 55 hours in total on the necklace has made making this a somewhat tedious task, however my inability to quit on these things has meant that after an incredibly arduous period of free time the necklace is complete. Literally 100's of tiny pieces have gone into this necklace however the central piece is part of a deconstructed earring from Primark as it worked out a lot easier and cheaper to purchase that part pre-made and remove bits that weren't needed. The necklace may look quit delicate but the way I've made it is so that it is strong enough to take its own weight along with any snagging/tugging that may occur whilst wearing. |
