Snow White Inspired Costume

Greetings,

 I really enjoy fairy tales. Especially Grimm's tale "Snow White".

So I was most pleased when I heard about the up coming "Snow White and the Huntsman"... with costumes designed by Colleen Atwood.

Because the movie is not yet out, I simply based my inspiration off of the images I grabbed from the trailer.

Here are the pictures I used as guidelines for the version below...

As you can see the costume starts out long...as in this moving shot.So I decided to go with the long linen dress length... The red on the movie costume is much brighter then it appears here.

I might chop it off later and add the leather leggings. We shall see.

The costume I made here is constructed out of organic linens and silk.

The under dress is almost an ice blue color with 100% silk lacing up the sleeves and hand made trim. Neckline also features a medieval style neckline construction.

The ornate sleeves are lined with red apple hued silk and accented with bronze lead studs. Long lined lined silk strips create that classic fairytale look.

Bodice of the over dress is fully boned and laced up the front with a shimmery bronze braid that is reminiscent of a chain.

Here are few more detailed shots.....just to give an idea. The hem of the gowns are raw and rugged. As though it has been ripped.

The neckline of the underdress bodice is accented with hand made lace in a light blue. 

As with all my costumes everything is "inspired by the movie" I do not claim to have everything identical of the original. I just try to capture the "feel" of the movie costume. :)

Thanks for looking at my costumes!

P.S. This costume will be available for a custom order for Hallow's Eve or other events.

So if you are interested shoot me an e-mail for details. If you are looking for the Huntsman or Queen's costume I can recreate those looks as well....

Swan Princess Inspired Dress

Greetings,

For this post I have a dress to share with you all that was inspired by the elves in Lord of the Rings and also by a "Swan Princess" theme. The customer and I worked with some ideas and this the result.

Close up of the neckline... I used high quality bridal fabrics for this dress and the under dress. The Outer gown fabric is a wool blend...very princess like.

The dress is a 2 part construction like my Arwen dress. With an under dress and over dress carefully sewn to achieve that fairytale look. The color palette as you can see is a selection of ivory and dark golden tones.

The neckline is accented with hand beaded trim and swan colored feathers. A deep v of lacing flatters the bust and adds a touch of unique style to the design.

The full sweeping golden sleeves are lined with two sheer layers of hand dyed chiffon silk that was shredded to emulate feathers. As though this princess might just turn into a swan at night.

For the upper part of the sleeves I created a band of hand beading, golden trim and embroidery. I thought it looked a bit historical and middle earth like.

The hem has been dyed a pale golden color to create a pretty effect, much like the flowing sleeves.

The costume consists of a soft white peasant style blouse that is hip length for easy tucking into the skirt. The fabric is a soft woven white cotton, perfect for delicate princess skin.

The Skirt is a full pleated creation attached to the laced up linen bodice. Color scheme is made of satin and silky purples accented with a brilliant green ribbon. Eyelets up the front of the bodice are a dark green shade.

SteamPunk Fairy Costume

Greetings, Here are some picture of my SteamPunk Fairy Costume.

I created this for an event and also because I haven't yet done a fairy costume for myself. Thus, I decided to combine it with bit of a steampunk flair. So without further ado, here is my costume.

*click on the pictures for a much bigger detailed shot.

 The Costume consists of a fully boned silk corset with detailed SteamPunk style sleeves, a victorian inspired skirt...and last but not least, a pair of metal and organza wings.

 

Here are a few detailed shots of the corset, painting and buttons on the bodice front.

 

The full view of the costume with the wings below.

 

The back of the wings feature a turn key, to create the look of a Victorian toy or perhaps a mechanical fairy created as an experiment.

 

Another view of the wings, I really liked the key in the back. Made it much more fun to wear.

 If you have any questions, comments or would like to have your own SteamPunk Fairy Costume...please contact me for details.  

Thank you for looking!

The bag is perfect for stashing your necessary items, or for Midnight Elves who need places to keep their findings. It hangs from the belt, with tassels of midnight blue beads.  

 Fabrics include black linen, vintage silks, taffeta and antique lace.

Tia Fairy Costume

~ Tia Fairy Costume ~

This costume was custom made with inspiration and design idea for a fairy/pirate costume inspired by my version of the Tia Dalma Costume.  So I have named this costume The Tia Fairy Costume.   

Costume consists of…

1. 1. A linen corset with beading and fabric detail at the neck. Fully laces up the back for a flattering fit. The straps tie onto the front of the corset with some pretty lacing. Fully boned corset style for a pretty fit.

2. The Tia style skirt is made of linen, tapestry and beading.

Fabrics are slightly aged and worn for a pretty look.

The beading was hand sewn onto the bodice for a pretty pirate look.

    The skirt is made of taffeta and linens…with lots of hand sewing beading design.

Theater Fairies….. The costumes below were created for plays in 2006.

   

~~~~~~Woodland Fairy~~~~~

 

This Costume was created for a Narnia play….in 2006.

Lots of layers of fabrics, flowers and fairy fancies.

We created this with fabrics and dresses we already had in the costume closet, so it just happend to work out that everything matched.

Even a pair of lovely green wings..because what woodland fairy would be complete without them?

The makeup was done by Students with simple theater paints and lots of glitter…

 
 (She does have 2 wings in the first picture, it was just the way she was standing...it looks like one)
