I made this costume in 2024 (as a fairly quick build) to wear to Momocon. I never got a photoshoot, and I also didn’t really take progress pics except one for the hat. That is super rare for me, that’s how quick I was working!
Overall its a fairly straightforward build. I ordered the fabric from Spoonflower in their cotton sateen, which I prefer over the regular cotton or satin. I feel it works better as a “suiting” fabric. Theirs is quite thin though. I think I ordered 2 yards, and it ended up being just enough. I had to piece the hat fabric from cuttings.
The white ruffles are regular Casa satin. The gold parts are two layers of satin fused together with Wonderunder, with wire lining the edges. I cut out the little holes by hand and added a little fray check to the edges. I had fun making little mushrooms from random hoarded fabrics from my scrap bin!
