Photography by the amazing Neil Creek [link]
Taken at the Royal Exhibition Centre, Melbourne.
Post-Processing by Neil Creek and myself.



Costumes made by us for WCS Australia Finals.
We placed second! :D
Lots of detailed work went into these that we will go into on later pics probably.
The gold detailing on my dress is hand pressed using gold foil. All the gold pearls in my headdress were individually hand sewn on..along with the multifaceted glass beads. There are crystal LED lights in the headdress that light up and make it look like it's covered in stars, in the bodice and the overskirts there are also tiny diamantes that were hand stuck on to catch the light onstage...my original concept that I was inspired from due to the original artwork having them floating in stars! xD
The purple on the underskirt is all screenprinted by hand.
The actual concept work on the gold and the purple designs were done by K..her art skills are absolutely amazing..and we wanted design cohesion as she did the concept work for her armour too!
There are six skirts including a hoop skirt under this dress..I wanted it to not just have a hoop skirt look but to be properly flowing as I did a lot of dancing in it. All were made by hand, all different to the ones used in my Utena dress...this one is like <9000 times better! I love the flow of this dress!


Thank you so so much to :iconmint-ice-tea: for helping me stick some last minute diamonds on and ironing and :iconclamwings: for taking their time to come over and help us with last minute prep! Especially Siera for coming on the shoot and looking after us!! I love you both so much!

The most amazing thanks and shout out to :iconharaju2girls: who let us bunk with them during the WCS weekend because we're so poor! So much love! You girls have an extremely special place in my heart..:heart::heart:

Thank you to everyone who supported us on this two year journey...the buck does not stop here! We're going to do our best to make you proud next year!!

<3

Beautiful, BEAUTIFUL work, both of you! I love reading construction notes. Iron-on foil, eh? I didn't even know it existed. Anyway, all your hard work definitely paid off! I think this is the first time I've seen these particular outfits done so well, and with such grace, at that. :wow:
