Florence (Black dress with Feathers) - Florence & The Machine
Planned
Information
| Florence was really sooo nice to cosplay last Expo.. I want to do her again, and I LOVE feathers so I couldnt resist trying to make this black dress with feathers costume which she wore around 2009, eg NME tour Manchester, teenage cancer trust gig, etc.. I do have another track in mind for masquerade - hopefully Expo will have another special Florence 'Live' performance. XD As far as I can tell the feathers are not actually attatched to the dress, as I've spotted her wearing the feathers with different black dresses. I think it is just like a shrug which ties under the arms and around the back. ..and when she gets hot she just takes it off, as you do. ^_^ (Ive seen some feather capes on eBy but they were wayyyy expensive!! so I'm gonna make my own) Progress will be in Journal if you want to follow. |

Getting materials together
Woohoo, I has Feathers!
:)
These arrived today from Hong Kong. They are black Coque feathers and have a lovely irridescent green shine. ..and they are reeeeeally soft ^_^
Since the feather capes on eBy are like £50 to buy (!!) I was really pleased to find these feathers at a good price so I can make my own. They come on a strip (fringe) sold by the yard. I bought two yards total £10.12 inc P&P. Hope that's enough for 3 layers of feathers..

NOW this, will be one to see...then again all your costumes are because there always spectacularr!
Aww cheers mate. ^_^ ..I've always loved feathers so this Florence costume is a must do! Should be relatively cheap too cuz I already have the wig and ring ..and shoes. I like it when stuff can be re-used for another cosplay. :P
haha as they say in the A-team, " i love it when a plan comes together " oi we still up for vinny and rossy sometime bud !
I loved your performance at the last Expo, you looked great on stage and really looked like you enjoyed yourself. This is such a beautiful outfit and I am sure you will look amazing.
Thanks sweetie ^_^ Yes I enjoyed cosplaying Florence so much. I'm just wondering what to do with the lower part of this black dress - it looks like a full length one, so maybe I will have to have a jaw droppingly long slash up the front or something. :p
Well if the other Flo outfit is anything to go bye this is gonna be amazing! must get my next Crossplay started XD
Thanks. ^_^ I'll go check your costumes list for your next plans. :)
Im fully not sure what to do XD few ideas but yeah sort of seeing what comes along XD
Oh! I can't WAIT to see this one! And i know it will be amazing with your skills! <3
Thanks Charlotte. ^_^
