White Dress Empress

Description

I honestly thought I had already posed this! lol. I guess not. This is a pic Katie-chan took at ALA, and I love it!

This is my Empress Elisabeth cosplay, from Takarazuka's rendition of the Austrian Musicla Elisabeth.This particular dress is called the Whinterhalter portrait dress and my design derivation is from the 1998 show. I'm overall very pleased with how this dress turned out, though I may fix a few things. This dress ate 60 yards of my white fabric stash! eek!

I made everything in this picture: Elliptical hoopskirt, corset, chemise, petticoat and hoopcover, over skirt, bodice, necklace, bustle pad.

Location: ALA pool deck

I ADORE this!!! it is one of the best Elisabeth cosplay I have seen.. I just wish I could see it in person.
I am hoping you will not mind my asking... I am working on an Elisabeth of my own.. just the Mizu version gown ( I admit to being Mizu obsessed... even if I lack someone to dress as Der Todd) Did you draft your down pattern? Modify an existing one?
Did you use a hoop and a crinoline? or just a multi layer skirt over a hoop to hide the lines? Just crinoline would have been MASSIVELY heavy and hot.. Any advice would be soo welcome. I do have experience w/ renaissance/Elizabethan era costuming
