    Absolutely gorgeous. It's a tribute to your skills, problem solving and determination and also to the original costumier and technicians who produced it for the stage. It has been fascinating to follow.

      Thank you so much! The challenge I gave myself was to replicate the gown as much as possible and hot damn that was a challenge but I'm glad I gave it a valiant effort. Now I can actually say that I'm not a fan of doing replica work but I can appreciate those who love doing it.

    You should submit your dress design to MGM for a future movie or Broadway. You would make a great cast designer. You need a great deal of patience to sew such details. Great job girl. Keep on sewing

    Btw, you can use a straight long needle to pick up sequins in the bead spinner, sorry the tip was too late to save you any time ❤ amazing work, I’m very glad I found your channel!

    You‘re amazing, I‘ve been following your journey over on instagram. This has turned out stunningly!!!
    I have also started a Bubble Dress years ago when the show was really big in Germany, but alas… I have never properly finished her.
    So much love for this though!!!!

    I have been following this project and waiting for this video since you first mentioned it, and it did not disappoint. You look amazing! Your passion for your craft definitely shines through in the quality and attention to detail.
    An idea: I recently saw someone making a wire frame for part of their costume, and they used a dot of UV resin at each of the joints to strengthen them. So if you ever need to make a frame for another collar (or for wings or a prop), that might be a better idea than just scotch tape.

    • @CaseyReneeCosplay
      @CaseyReneeCosplay  3 месяца назад +1

      Oh that UV resin idea is brilliant! I will file that one away, thank you! Also thank you so much, I am so happy you enjoyed it.

    Petticoat, are you sure it was lines of stitching and not pin tucks? They might really help strengthen your under layer

    Use flux? It might make it easier to make the crown

    • @CaseyReneeCosplay
      @CaseyReneeCosplay  Месяц назад

      It took me 2 years because I can't just dedicate over 1000 hours only to making this costume, I have to work so I can pay bills and buy fabric and such 😊

  • @the_labelguy_

    Hi! I'm new on your channel, but I've seen you on other's videos, for example Sarah Spaceman. I know you've competed in a lot of cosplay contests, and I absolutely love your work. So I've been cosplaying for about 2 years, and I would like to get into competing. I wanted to ask you, (because I know you've also judged competitions), do the cosplays in competitions have to be sewn? Because as a crocheter, and someone who crochets my cosplays and who doesn't sew, is it possible to compete in a crocheted cosplay, or does it have to be fabric work/armour/what you would usually see in a cosplay competition?

    • @CaseyReneeCosplay
      @CaseyReneeCosplay  2 месяца назад +1

      It's absolutely possible to compete in a crochet costume, as a judge some things I look for on crochet costumes is the use of different stitches and different yarn to create a variety of textures that would represent different textured fabrics, I also personally look for if you drafted the crochet patterns yourself or if you bought them, at entry level buying them is totally understandable but as you win awards and move up categories it's very important to make sure you're leveling up the difficulty of the costume as well. Thank you so much for following my work and I look forward to hearing about your experience with cosplay contests 😊

    • @CaseyReneeCosplay
      @CaseyReneeCosplay  3 месяца назад +3

      Oh noo lol well I hope it is worth the watch, this is my favorite intro I have ever made and overall I am really happy with how far I have come as a video maker and a costume maker.

    • @GM-qq1wi
      @GM-qq1wi 3 месяца назад

      @CaseyReneeCosplay The intro was perfect, I loved the monologue moment too, and the gorgeous pre-reveal. The final result is breathtaking; well done with the insane amount of work this took, and the result is beautiful, loved the hair and makeup too.
