Flower Monster - Sunflower Dress
I made this to wear with friends on Saturday night of Dragon Con 2016. We are going as "Flower Monsters", or pretty much a walking garden. There will be roses, wisteria, poinsettias, daisies, and my sunflower.
The design is all my own creation, inspired by a fully bloomed sunflower as well as ballet. I'm not a ballet dancer, but I do love the costuming. I used inspiration from their platter/pancake tutus for my skirt.
The skirt is a full circle, so that when I sit on the ground, I look like a sunflower from above. The hat is massive, and covered in a giant sunflower as well as 4 smaller ones and some leaves. The hat itself is also a sunflower.
