With a strong love for Schala as a character, I wanted to create a costume worthy of a princess of an enlightened era. It all started with the discovery of a beehive wig and a strong desire to use it for something. The wig was the first of many creative liberties I took with this costume.
I used satin and chiffon for this costume. The collar snaps on by the shoulders and is trimmed with pre-strung beads and a white silk bias tape made by yours truly. The headband is silk with strung beads and the wig has swarvoski crystals woven into it. I strung the beaded hair falls myself.
The embroidered circle design on the back comes directly from the game's teleportation circle, which I could not find a picture of to save my life so I played the game again up to the point of Zeal just so I could have reliable reference images. I used metallic thread, which was a horrible idea that I will never ever do again even though I think it looks pretty great.
The shoes are suede flats that I dressed up by gluing seed beads in designs taken from the tapestries found in Zeal.
