Belldandy
Oh my goddess
Hours: 60 hours
Cost: 260, 00 Euro
Worn at: Animecon 2008 and Chibicon 2008
Why I chose for this costume:
I have seen many Belldandy costumes so I wanted to try this one out myself.
I wanted to feel like a goddess and act like a goddess.
I wanted to make a costume that floats along my body when I would walk.
How is it made?
The dress is made from a simple synthetic material that had a nice glitter and shine in the sun.
I made the blue coat out of taffeta since I don't like satin.
I used organza for her hairpiece and voile for her sleeves and back part.
I stitched sweet, organza ruffles at the bottom of her skirt. (These can come per meters so it was pretty easy.)
I also stitched little beads (that also comes per meter) at the opening at her back and at the front of the top around the bust.
Other thoughts:
It was really floating like it had no weight at all. Even my dress was floating around me when I walked. It was hard to walk on the stairs since the dress is pretty tight and not made out of stretch fabrics.
I had a great time in this costume...but really .I can't stand any triangles anymore @_@
