Originally, the plan was to make a dress from scratch but with con deadlines looming, we decided to sacrifice one of Kim's formal dresses that she'd bought from freshman year of college instead. We added the brown loopy bit to the center, an organza ribbon tie, and the gold leaf lace trim to the hem. Check out my Sylveon's costume page for a more detailed description of how I made the ears. Wig is an Arda Inigo.
