I got everything I need to make my Nightmare Moon lolita-cosplay costume yesterday. I bought black stretch for my dress, blue pleather for my crown, chestpiece and wrist and ankle wraps and a pair of wigs to deck out for my mane and tail.
I wanted dark blue hair because that's what Nightmare seems to have on the show even though the toy gives her purple. I was also thinking of adding some holographic tinsel to my hair to make it sparkle. Too much?

Nope. Sounds good to me.

I completely forgot that I have glitter hair gel so I don't need to thread in tinsel one by one. *phew*The dress itself is done so pictures can be taken. Wig and tail just have touch-ups. I am not happy with my ears so I may redo those. Horn is crafted from foam and wrapped with black felt. It looks quite nice. The tail has an internal felxible skeleton but the hair is twisting a bit on the botton and showing the underside. Need to glue it in place. The wraps are a bit of a trial and error but I think I have worked it out now.

 Wig with ears and small crown. I had to make the horn easily removable and retachable at a moments notice for whatever reason, like getting in and out of the car.   Horn is one of those styrofoam forms with a bit of carving and felt wrapped around it. It attached with one of those magnetic name badge attachments. I even tried to pull it down and the wig slides down before the horn does. Yay!  Wristlets. The ankle ones look a lot like these but they are slightly bigger and have much longer ruffles to resemble hooves.  The dress! I would have had a clear pic but my usual camera stand is being used to hold up a foam head and wig. Included is the apron with the symbol and the chest piece. For the con I am also wearing an undershirt because it's already near freezing outside right now and I have no idea what the high temp is tomorrow. |

I completely forgot to take a pic of the wings. They look okay, but I'm not 100% satisfied with them. I'm going to do a near redo of them at some point, but with Halloween fast approaching I don't have time for things that I'm not using this year. I'll get a pic up soon.
