2 the Lolita Lempicka perfume advert. from early 2002 that I drew the idea from for the costume
3 20.11.04 I found this in a '98 womens magazine today... this was LL's entry in a Wedding Fashion Show that year... so it was originally a wedding dress then they removed the sleeves & altered it for the perfume promotion!
4 the base.. a tube (double thickness) stitched over and onto a bra, and the hemline tattered with scissors. EVERYTHING from herein, was handstitched to this base - WHILE I was wearing it!
5 very basic makeup plot
6 completed test run
7 wing supplies
8 almost done
9 stripping fabric leaves for Forest-cover Cape
10 the finished wings & cape, taken at LoJ 2002 where I first debuted this costume. Every leaf is handstitched to its neighbours in 3 places. Every leaf. There is approx. 200hrs in the cape alone & its only 30% finished... eventually it will fan down into a long train
