I could write a long essay about the complexities of Colette's character; she's my favorite Tales character! I used cotton stretch sateen for all of the white portions, including the add on to the top of the boots (which I bought on eBay; same style and color of boots that I used for Cheria). I used blue broadcloth for the strip at the bottom of the top and the designs, and I used bias tape on the edges and little strips of blue. I couldn't find the perfect buttons, so I settled on some generic gold ones from JoAnn's. The cruxis crystal is made out of resin and the necklaces are made from craft foam that I shaped and painted. I originally made wings to go with the costume because I was so deadset on wings. Well, I winged the wings using floral wire to make the shapes and make them connect altogether in the back. I covered the wire in pink organza and painted the edges purple and threw on some glitter for good measure. They attach to the back of the costume with velcro and safety pins because I couldn't figure out how to best do a harness underneath the costume. The wig tangles so much (it's from eBay), and I spent a good 2 hours washing it and detangling it. The plan is to make my boyfriend a Lloyd costume so we can do my OTP cosplay!
