Thank you~Making a costume starts first with choosing a costume (of course) and then making a thorough study of the parts from top to bottom. If your character requires a wig, you may want to purchase that first because the item may take time to get to you when you order it. And then check for easy materials you can use for the accessories. Remember, you are only limited by your imagination and don't be afraid to add extra details that you feel will make the costume even more grand than it already is.Then fabrics! Look at swatches of colors for different fabrics and which ones you are comfortable to work on. Not all fabric can have the same color shade so you also have to take that into consideration.Making the costume is pretty much dependent on how you plan to work on it, your skills and available materials, and how comfortable you are working on it. There is no point in pushing yourself into making a costume that will only cost you so much in the materials and then frustrate you in the end because the results are not what you hoped they would be. I would honestly advice you to have the costume commissioned if you really don't know how to make it. But that would be the last resort, it is much better to try first and see how it takes you And lastly, don't be afraid to ask help from family and friends. Two heads are always better than one, so what more of having four or six more hands?

very nice work what did you use for the green belts? did you make them yourself or did you buy them?

I bought 1 inch wide white belts and spray painted them with metallic jade green color.The belt for the skirt however, was bought in green color already, but I still sprayed a bit of metallic green to match the rest of the belts
