This was by far my biggest project that I had done ever. However, due to some incredible motivation, I managed to get the complete costume done in less than a month and a half! It was awesome working with props for the first time, and I'm very happy with the result!
Construction Details: The sword is made of insulation foam and cardboard. I then masked taped it and did about 2 or 3 layers of paper mache'. The symbols are all carved duct tape, and are not painted on.
The vest for the dress is made out of vinyl, and was also carved using an exacto knife.
In total, I was wearing about 4 or 5 layers around my waist line, so I also wore a corset in between half the layers to try and squish them all down.
