| This is my 2nd costume, Queen Esther Blanchett from the Trinity Blood THORS Artbook. I decided to make this costume as I'm a Trinity Blood fan but also because I've always been an enthusiast of the Tudor/ Elizabethan era. First I made a tradition Elizabethan BUM-ROLL: I used cotton fabric to make it filled it with polyfill stuffing so it looked like a life ring. This then sits on your hips and lifts the whole dress up, giving it that volume that was fashion during that era. Six-ringed HOOP SKIRT: Expensive to make so I advise anyone interested in making Esther* to buy one instead. I made it using over 22m of Steel boning & 5m of white satin. TULLE Under skirts: Used about ~20m of white tulle netting to make 3 x under skirts to cover the wired hoop skirt. OUTER SKIRT: Made out of 5m thick white satin fabric, hand-painted with over 700 flowers. I used red Swarovski rhinestones in the centre of each flower, and handmade ~25 small red satin to decorate the bottom of the dress. The bottom of the dress is also decorated with hundres of small pearls and sequins. CROWN: Made out of Cardboard and craft foam bent to shape,painted with silver acrylic, varnished and decorated with - 1116 Glass Pearls - 1024 Rhinestones of which 700 are Swarovski crystals. Time taken about 2 weeks from start to finish | |
