Construction Notes:

Bra was a pre-exiting bra, covered in a white bridal satin.  Gren beading, ruffles, cording, and lace trim were sewn on, and clear straps were added.  Shorts made from white bridal satin, and lined in cotton.  I top stitched lines onto the bottoms to give the feeling of the underside of a snake, in a copper thread.  Skirt/train is a pink chiffon, and veil is a cream chiffon.  Veil lace trims were hand sewn on by a helper.  Flowers were glued onto the skirt and veil, before everything including the bra and shorts were tea stained.  Veil is attached the the braid and clips are sewn into the veil as well to hold it in place.  Arm and ankle decorations were made by attaching flowers and beads to elastic bands and purple bias tape.  Gold beads on the bra and neck piece were painted gold before attached.  

Neck piece is made from five strands of large pearl beads, attached to a purple bias tape with a smaller row of peals at the top.  The jewel in the center is a basic rhinestone, recoloured using three different colours of nail polish, before the small pearl trim was added.  The large rhinestone on the bra is coloured with 5-6 different nail polishes and attached.

The gold and white bead chains were purchased and trimmed down to lengths needed.  Hair braid was bought and sharpie died to match the wig.

Wig purchased off Taobao.
