This costume has set a new record for most time consuming. Every detail on the white bodice/apron is handpainted using pebeo setcolour fabric paint, then embellished with rhinestones.
The blue dress is made up, since there is no source for what the bottom of her dress looks like. It is a custom-dyed sapphire blue silk crepe. I added gold trim, and white embroidered bridal lace outlined by hand with gold foil. A second layer of silk lining is edged with blue lace.
Lace at the bust has also been custom painted blue.
Wig work took forever to sew in the extra wefts for the hair buns, braid them, and then weave them. The buns are detachable using clips. Red bangs are also detachable
Champagne glass prop has been custom painted in gold, and then detailing done using gold foil. Fake champage created using resin.
