I made everything except the hoop skirt, and used historical patterns for the main garments. The skirts have French seams and blind stitch hems. The bodice alone took about 20 hours total. It's fully lined (in pink!!!) and boned, laces up in the back. All the ruffles were gathered & stitched by hand. White fabric is bridal satin with a crepon sheer overlay, pink fabric is crepe. The gloves were made out of a matte spandex. Gold accessories are craft foam with self-casted gems. Wig is styled into a ponytail and secured with a claw clip. Latest version of the wig is from eBay (Cosplay-Wig), with the bangs lightly styled for fluff. Contact lenses from Pinky Paradise.
