A cosplay I created from several patterns a few months after the end of Game of Thrones season 4. I had about 17 seconds of screen time and three costuming reference photos to work off. Now, there are much better photos, more screen time, and Simplicity even made a pattern to follow that looks awesome, even though the construction paths between it and my original approach greatly vary. Every feather on the wrists, chest and mantlepiece are hand painted for depth and it gives the dress a lot of dimension. I used nail polish - four bottles >_>

I'm super proud of this cosplay. It makes me feel badass and regal.
