I wanted to go with historically accurate materials for San, however decided that due cost and prettyness I would go with less historical materials. But! They are still going to be lavish, natural and suited for a wolf princess!
The main dress is made of a beautiful stretch cotton sateen. It has a beautiful sheen to it and is an awesome material to work with. (It's the same material I used for my Madoka group). The dress itself is just two pieces sewn together, with flare at the skirt and shape at the waist. It's been distressed to hell and back using cheese graters, scissors, knifes, razors, dirt, paint, etc. I wanted this costume to look natural and like she has been wearing it for most of her life and I think that's what this accomplished.
The over shirt is made of a fabric called "weavers cloth". While I don't quite know what it is made of, I wanted a linen and it looks like it. It's a beautiful natural color and some great specks of 'seed'.This again was very simple in construction, 2 squares sewn together at the shoulder that tie on the sides and have been distressed.
The cape is made of a grey, yes GREY, craft fur. I chose grey because I wanted this to look natural, and most wolves have a grey coat. I know that San's cape is white. I know that San's wolves are white. But this was a design choice I wanted to make and I hope it works in my favor. This is the first time I've so heavily changed a design element. Let me know what you think of it! The cape is made like a sailor collar so it will attach to the overshirt easier. It is lined and has a tail attached. The hood was then attached and to that the mask.
The mask is made of Worbla, wood filler, and paint. The ears and teeth and crystal dagger were made of friendly plastic with aluminum foil inside so I could use less of the plastic. The earrings and head jewel are also friendly plastic.
The shoes and flats with tan cotton attached and they have brown elastic sewn onto them to create the ties.
The spear is a PVC pipe with a foam head. The dagger is also foam. Both were covered with wood filler then sanded.
