Happy with a romantic for .dance ! It was beads galore for this one with beaded fabric all along the skirt and then covering the bodice. So much hand sewing to get everything just right, but I think the effect was worth it.

Last costume of 2025! This Don Q is headed to today. Andreas and his partner .yun_ were such a pleasure to work with. They came with a sketch of what they wanted and were open to design ideas. More importantly they are so very kind!

2025 was a rough year for me with health and family. Hopefully 2026 is a time of recovery.

Day 31 of : All Hallows Eve
Here is this year’s creation for . This year we took a little different approach and purchased some premade pieces - corset, hat, boots, shirt, necklace - and I made the skirt. Then I applied hundreds of roses and leaves to the whole costume. The silver on the corset is hot glue that was put in moulds and then sprayed silver.

Day 29 of : Creatures
This is another way way back costume - Vignette from Carnival Row. I created life sized wings for this fairy creature from wire and Angelina fantasy film. I loved the iridescent look when the sun hit them. I tried to make this as screen accurate as possible and copied every vein in the wings.

I have nothing with pumpkins, but I can imagine Cinderella getting ready to get into her pumpkin coach. This Cinderella was a collaboration with and a few years back. Loads of sparkle tulle went into this one along with fairy lights for more magic.

Day 23 of : Leaves

This vest and shirt for was adorned with leaves in just the right color. I think he added some colorful flowers that you can see in YAGP pictures, but I love it either way.
