Much love to this costume! Beautiful job on everything! The amount of fabric used is insane! I can't imagine how much this must've cost you! ^^

So much love, It was my baby while I was working on it! Thank so very much!
It actually wasn't too bad. I used coupons and looked for good deals, It's the only way to make monsters like this affordable...which is good because I seem to have a giant dress addiction! lol.

Elrowiel In reply to kukochan [2010-03-28 08:02:17 +0000 UTC]
Well, I started collecting fabric for it about 6 months before the convention, but I didn't get to cutting and sewing it till about a month before. I was really happy with how easy this dress came together since I pushed my procrastination a little too close to the wire on this one! lol.

Wow, one month? Something like this would have taken me longer because of how daunting it looks and I'd feel lazy every couple days. Well congrats on a beautiful costume!

IThank you!! I'm glad you like it. It's such and awful pain to wear (And I mean the literally, The boots do some serious damage to me feet and the corsetry is no walk in the park) but It's definitely me favorite costume!
I do too! Unfortunatly, people seem to be weirded out when I wear them...lol.

Thank you! I do too! I had not intended for it to end up as long as it did...but the fabric got away from me (As it almost always does...) and before I knew it, I had another over sized train!
