I made this costume for Costume Con 27's Future Fashion Show. The costume, designed by Angelique Trouvere, was inspired by the classic Star Trek reference to the dragons of Berengaria VII. I used a lovely green/purple silk dupioni that I had in my fabric bin for a few years (I was waiting for the right project to use it). The dress and sleeves are both lined in purple organza. The dress is heavily modified from a pattern and uses buttons and loops down the side for closure. The sleeves connect to the cape via gold trim, which allows for easy movement of the cape. The collar and headdress are covered in jewels, and the headdress and shoes have matching strips of organza, dupioni, and Silkessence fabric decorating them. This was a really fun costume to make. I had wanted to do a little bit more with the cape, but I think it looks great like this. I was really happy that the designer loved the outfit - that was my main goal in making this!! And on an awesome note, Angelique Trouvere was one of the original Vamiprella costumers way back in the day, and has been making Star Trek and sci-fi costume for years! It was such an awesome experience to meet her ^.^
