Description
Opera novel series, art by Shibamoto ThoresMilian Carestia - Leetah aka ElenaLeetah
Photo by JustMoolti
Costume, as usual, made by me.
Actually, I love this photo best from all the photoshoot. Yep, I know, I've got the wrong expression: I can't have the naiive expressioan Milian has while wearing this dress (on both arts her expression is somewhat awed). But I still love the photo (JustMoolti is great!) and I am rather proud of my work with this costume. I am flattered some people regard it as a referance image for their cosplay of Milian, though it's hilarious
I am NOT Shibamoto Thores, and I don't know the original colors of the dress, BTW. And while we did read the novels (as many parts as we could find) there were no mentions of this dress or it's colors. Personally, I chose those colors for the cosband defile, otherwise I think it can be any color like purple, indigo blue and enything like those. I'd say black even, but not the ball dress.Comparison to the original art:

Very lovely. I adore your work on the costume as i make historic gowns by myself, i know how difficult that is. But beside of that, it's a very nice shot.

Oh thank you, it's reaaly nice to hear the praise from smb. who understands the pains of sewing historical (and almost historical) gowns.
As for the shot - our photographer is great, as far as I'm concerned

I think your outfit is beautiful and well made, but the flower crown just doesn't match, The floral print has all these beautiful desaturated tone but the flower crown just sticks out by being too bright compared to the rest of the outfit.

Yess I see. And it's more difficult bringing to life such a complicated dress without any color references. You did it really well ^^. I take my hat off to you !

Color references are PAIN! I chose those colors because of my team (we had other costumes: deep blue, light blue, white, red) and Milian wears black, violet, white and blue. That's about all
Thanks! *__*
