Materials
The materials used are a mix of things I already had, new and thrifted textiles, and other odds-and-ends.

The Skirts
The skirts for this cosplay were made from a black satin and red spandex with a full circle skirt pattern. There is a zipper on the side to allow for easily putting it on and taking it off. The outer skirt is made with a custom drafted pattern. The fabric used was a red spandex material and Pellon SF101 Stabilizer. The edge pieces were finished with gold lame bias tape. The outer skirt attaches with snaps to the base skirts. I wore a black petticoat under the base skirts to add volume and fluff to the bottom.
The Top and Collar
The top for this was made using a modified version of the Pheonix Swimsuit pattern from Mood Fabrics and for the corset, I created a waspie using this pattern from Lumin’s Workshop from 3mm EVA foam that was covered with spandex. I added metal grommets to make the holes in the corset sturdier, and used E6000 to secure gold ribbon for accent to the front of the corset panels.
I added a velcro dots to the chest for holding the brooch onto the cosplay and folded ribbons to act as loops for clear shoulder straps to help keep the top in place.
The collar was made with a custom pattern that I made by wrapping my neck with plastic wrap and tape, carefully removed it, and cut it into shape for the collar. It was made of red spandex and stabilizer, grommets, and ribbon.
The Wig and Head Piece
I ordered the wig on eBay. I used a steamer and curling iron to style it, going forward I aim to restyle it and add wire into the base of the hair pieces at the front to keep the rose shape better in tact for travel and wear.
The headpiece is made using 16 gauge and 10 gauge gold jewelry wire, a fake rose, and a 3D printed flat accent disc.
The Sword
The sword is 3D printed using a model I made myself. The handle is wrapped with a black ribbon and painted with gold spray paint and red acrylic paint
