It would be amazing if you did an 'Instructable' to show us all how you did each element of the build! I'm stuck on how to do the cuffs and collar on my son-in-law's Jareth cosplay. I've done a couple of mock ups and they just aren't laying right. Any chance you could do a show and tell? thanks!

Holy CRAP, that's amazing. I'm working on a Goblin Queen cosplay, and I'm having a hell of a time with the cape. Yours looks perfect!

I love the cape! It has that same decaying elegance as in the movie. Great work!
