"Enchanted Willows"

---
Designed, constructed and modelled by me!

A stage costume designed as part two of a brief for a fictional gothic symphonic metal band's concert for one of my folios for school. *sigh*

The main themes centred around the "7 Deadly Sins" concept. Part 1 was a logo design, which I will upload later.

I'll go in depth later, it's getting late right now. It's made from ombre dipdye satin, tulle, satin habutae, chiffon, buckram, lace, ribbon and beads.

The collar does actually stand up, about 50cm above the head with the help of the buckram, it was my favourite part to do, as was the screenprinting of the satin "scales". There's 98 scales, if you're at all interested, which were all cut by hand, and hand-sewn to a piece of netting forming part of the overskirt. And the top's a corset with 20 eyelets set in the back.

Underneath is "The EPIC hoopskirt" from my gallery, which I made back in April. It measures 320cm in diameter, making doorways horridly difficult.

And lastly, I'm not really this tall - I'm wearing heels underneath =P
