CONSTRUCTION NOTES:

Getting fabric for this dress was such an adventure! I went to so many stores and even shopped online for fabric (which I don't like to do) then at a last chance sorta thing I went to Joann's (again) and there is was! Its a semi shiny crinkly fabric because when I think Greek I think crinkle. I wanted as much of it as I could get and bought 7yds. To line it I used bridal satin. Even though her dress is flat in the series I really liked it with a little poof to it so I wear a hoop skirt underneath the dress.

The cincher was so fun to make! I made my own pattern based off of one of the images I had. I used a stretch pvc/lycra gold fabric. I didn't want there to be lines in the cincher its self so I made one in muslin first, put boning in the muslin then sewed my muslin cut out around the cincher. Also this helped when I put in my eyelets in the back. The jewles are just sewen or glued on.

The arm band, choker and hair piece are made from wonderflex and the blue necklace are clear beads I painted blue. The wig is bought from ebay that I cut to how I liked it.

It will be hard work because I am in medical school and have to study a lot. I hope to get it done. Do you cosplay?

I do not make Cosplay but they are a fan of "Anime" Japanese and in particular like (you will have understood) "Saint Seiya" … It compliments for the studies that you make… It does not have to be easy… I make the auguries you to become an optimal doctor

Oh my god! O_O You make a gorgeous Athena! Love the details on the costume, such as the jewels and the choice of golden fabric.

Thank you! I was working last min on this dress. Sadly the airlines broke my staff so the day before AX I had to get some super glue. Also... The airline broke it again when I came back home

Epic costume, I love it. Where did you get your wig? I just love how all the pieces work together, and your ability to pose, you have some really nice ones in your gallery. Great job!

ShallDoll In reply to Kymodoke [2009-07-08 18:38:16 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much! It took about 20+ hours to make the dress and 3+ hours to make the staff.
I got my wig from ebay but I'm going to order a different one from either cosworx.com or amphigory.com
I can give you the link if you would like for the wig.

I've been on amphigory, but cosworx is a new one for me! I'm trying to make a faerie costume and I need a good wig so any suggestions would be grand!

What kind of wig? Short-Long? Normal color? Different color?

Kymodoke In reply to ShallDoll [2009-07-09 02:09:38 +0000 UTC]

I'm not sure anymore. My original idea was for an ice blue one, but idk if I'm doing that anymore, but any links are much appreciated.

I would try the first two I gave you and then if you don't find what you need I'll look up some of my other places I get my wigs. They might be a little expensive but its better than buying something from china (Not to be rude but they tend to be thin)

Kymodoke In reply to ShallDoll [2009-07-09 15:23:28 +0000 UTC]

Haha, no I made the mistake of buying a 10 dollar wig from a costume store. It's horrid. You can see through it in the back, literally. It's not even the same wig in the picture. It's the same color but not the same wig. Lol.

I did that with my frist wig also. I was dressing up as meer from gundam and bough my pink hair from a local costume shop. Well I looked at in the store and it seemed fine (did know much back then) when I tried it on it was all frizzy, some of the wig was missing hair, really thin. just bad all around. I tried to return it but the lady said I did to the wig.... Its okay I believe that all things go around and now their store is closing.
