The above images were all I had to work with (including the
DVD - very limited views of this costume) when making this costume. Thanks
to skarlettfever who was able to take such great shots at the FIDM exhibit,
I was able to see a lot more detail than can be seen in the movie.
Unfortunately further images have surfaced since then from other exhibits
that show more details I was unaware of - the sleeves could have been so
much easier to construct had I known there was a seam along the top of them.
Still, I am very proud of the work I did on the headdress - I could not get
the shape to stay up as high as I would have liked to be closer to the movie
one, but the weight of the crystal bead fringe kept bringing down the frame.
I've never made a hat before so I think I did a pretty good job considering
I used clothes hangers for the base frame. I was also unable to afford (or
find) a good match for the silk matelasse for the gown. I used this metallic
embroidered one instead, which I felt kept the theme with the swirling
designs. |
