Pink Dress |
Dress created from the following patterns:
- McCalls Bridal Elegance M4777 (size 6 for bodice, size 12 for
sleeves) - Bodice very heavily modified from pattern - This
pattern is out of print, but you can purchase it here
(for now), or you might find it on Ebay.
- McCalls Costumes 4090 (size AA) - skirt pattern cut and modified
for two-color skirt
- Neckline created using a scalloped
pattern I made
Used "Casa Collection" fabric
from Jo-Anns in pearl pink and fuschia for the dress. Note that these colors seem to be discontinued, but any two complementary shades of pink will work. :)

Poofy Underskirt |
Ordered from Ebay seller AngelsBridal
(cost about $20)
- 3-hoop full crinoline/petticoat skirt, with adjustable waist
and hoops

Hair |
Original wig was terrible. Curls fell out of the thin 3/4 wig and it looked like limp spaghetti, plus the bangs were too transparent. The color was unflattering and texture was not soft.
Purchased a long golden-blonde wavy wig from Ebay and styled the bangs and front flipped-out sections myself. Looks more like real hair and doesn't detract from the rest of the cosplay.

Jewelry: Earrings |
Painted round earrings (which I already
had) w/ blue spray paint. Any round blue earrings will work - I've recently found some that are rhinestone jewels that look great.

Jewelry: Necklace/Brooch |
Ordered jewel from WholesalersUSA,
Inc.
- Jumbo size Caribbean Blue Non-iridized gems
Used gold Fimo clay to make setting - placed
two small jump rings into top of clay before baking.
Turned into necklace using Magic Stretch invisible beading cord.
I later superglued a piece of foil behind the jewel to make it appear shinier.
Second version of brooch is made using a plastic bauble from Michaels that was painted with glass paint - see last page of guide for details.

Crown |
Used metal "French Bucket" vase
from Michael's.
Used Dremel to cut crown shape out of metal, used hot glue gun
to attach acrylic jewels.
Used Dremel to punch tiny holes in the bottom, and attached hair
combs to base with gold wire.
Attached crown to wig using hair clips.
It seems that these vases have become impossible to find lately - you can check thrift stores for them, but I haven't seen these at craft stores since I purchased mine. If you can find a galvanized bucket of the same size, that will also work, but you'll need to spray paint it gold.

Shoes |
Ordered pink ballet slippers online
- appropriate for the character, and extremely comfortable even
after all-day wear. Highly recommended.
I also have pink flip-flop sandals for outdoor photoshoots at the
park. |
|
|
Gloves |
I already had these from my
wedding.
Originally purchased from either a costume shop or the bridal dept.
of Michael's. |
|
|
Veggie |
Made basic pattern out of newspaper
Veggie base made of bunchy white fur, leaves made from green felt
Eyes made from large black buttons, face added with black fabric
paint.

|
Perry |
Ordered a yellow parasol online.
Hot-glued blue lace around the outside edge.
Added the face with black fabric paint and pink glitter glue.
Parasol was later redone with a blue ruffle added to the edges in place of the lace .
