| Return to Oz was one of my favourite disturbing kids movies, and still is. Have always been in love with the Princess Mombi dress and when re-thinking of what big costume to do I remembered my love for this dress. I think I'm probably a bit crazy. There's a ton of fabric layering and crazy detailing on this dress. But it's worth it! (I hope xD ...I might go mad making it with all the pattern details) | |

Progress update (Posted 12th May 2013) Dress is underway but sadly not as fast as I would have liked. Trouble finding the fabrics I've needed has put me behind schedule, but I'm soldiering on! Working on the underdress and then I have THE EVIL of chiffon to work with for the overdress, with all the patterning details. Fun times ahead? Meanwhile, here's an image of the toile I made so I could map out the measurements before beginning the actual dress. |

Reference time! (Posted 12th December 2012) Not going to really be able to start buying material for this until after xmas, so at the moment I'm in screencap and reference overload. And always never getting the angle that I need! D: Typical. So, parts of this dress' construction is actually really hard to make out! I can determine mostly that it's not quite a one peice cloak, but is actually split into two sections that also make the sleeves. Hoo boy this is gonna be some fun construction... Planning, sketching and deconstruction ahoy! |
