Rose Madder Wonder Woman

[cymbeline]

Or simply known as the "Wonder Woman" costume (the fringed cuffs). After getting really frustrated with my cheaper costumes that kept falling apart or were poorly made in the first place I finally sucked it up, sold them, and picked up two second-hand Bella's. I now see what people rave about with these costumes, they fit and feel like a dream! I

Wow, that costume is amazing!!!! It's been a long time since I thought about constumes in general, but these pictures are inspirational! Who is Bella? Is this all one costume, from top to bottom? Can you learn more about costume making from these? Have you tried adding floaty chiffon from the shoulder straps to the wrist cuffs?
And many more questions and exclamations...

Thank You!

Bella (bellacostumes.com) is a designer from Istanbul and she usually does custom orders (to your size) I just happened across a couple on a swap meet board that fit me.

This is all the same piece (bra, belt & skirt). The veil was made by someone else. I'm going to try and get some beads to match to make a better necklace, the one I'm wearing seems sorta "dainty".

I thought about using the chiffon pieces on the arms but I'm doing a lot of veil and those just get in the way. So I'll put them on the skirt instead I think and find some matching lilac for the upper part of "ladder" on the skirt.

Thank You!! I swear I wanted to hang out in this thing all night long!! I'm glad I finally decided to quit messing with stuff that didn't fit and just get something that does!
