I am in the process of revamping this cosplay, so some parts of the descriptions will be replaced as I finish parts of the costume. :)

=====

*TOP* -dyed with acrylic paint
(scrapped cotton)

The bottom is bunched with elastic. I also put in a built in bra.

*SKIRT* -dyed with acrylic paint
(scrapped knit ponte)

The fabric started off as a gold-yellow. The gradient was done with watered down acrylic paint, graduating from a orange-red to a yellow.

The lightest color was added with chalk, which is smoothed out with water. I used a sponge while the fabric was damp, to diminish the brush strokes.

*BEAR SKIN* -dyed with RIT
(Faux Fur)

-PROPS-

*BEADING*
I am replacing the old Mardigraw beads with biggie beads. I've a big tub of biggie beads that I purchased for my Yeul cosplay.

*ORNAMENTS*
(being redone)

*NECKLACES*
(being redone)

*BOOTS*
Purchased at Ross—originally boots-- used faux fur for the lining on the boots. They were painted with interior paint and sprayed with a non-gloss spray.

*BELT*
(being redone)

*PURSE*
(fleece)
The purse was dyed with coffee.

*WIG*
I decided to buy a new wig. This is more akin to the design in the game.

I purchased this wig from agree518

*BINDING ROD*
(PVC pipe)
The base is PVC pipe. I used suede to cover the pipes and went over it with spandex to cover up the crap job.

The accessories are foam and held with bonding wire and silicone glue. I used clay for the jewels. The binding details on the staff and top is electrical tape.

I used int paint for the base. The wings were painted with acrylic paint and weathered with water/metallic copper spray paint.

-Difficulty
4/5

1) So much painting
2) First time making props. Lot of trial and error.
3.) The beads tested my mobility for sure. XD
