Costume Project # 2

My initial goal was to create all of my Maleficent costume but due to time constraints and hurting my wrist, I realized borrowing from the shop would be the best. Ingrid and Yoshi helped in locating the items through foraging through racks when I couldn't anymore or pulling down boxes where my strength lacked. I was able with help to realize I wanted a purple statement piece somewhere on the costume that payed homage to her original style but also reminiscent of the dragon she becomes. I didn't know what i wanted the purple piece to be until I spotted it on a rack. The shoes I chose were from my own collection, I wanted to make sure when I enter the room as Maleficent all eyes would be on me like they would be on her. With horns stacked on my head and 6 inch stilettos strapped to my feet I felt that it would help bring the stature I envisioned for Maleficent. Almost a high fashion style. This was my initial inspiration. I loved the black leather and boots but definitely wanted the more feminine  appeal Maleficent carried in the new movie. Her more romantic look with bright red lips and dramatic cheek bones.

 This helped me start and brought me to the idea of incorporating a cape or some form of dragging skirt to combine into the look. I will probably need help finding some of the pieces since the closet is much to large for me to remember where everything is... I feel that if i were to make anything it would be the cape and that may take me a week or a day if I took the time to spend one day on just that. With the horns ill probably be working on them until the last minute if I don't order them which I am considering. I am also wanting a neck piece or collar of sorts to add more of the impressive factor.
