did you still dress at her for halloween?
if no, next time tips: use only the very best theater make up you can get a hold of. practice patting and buffing the white makeup instead of slathering it on...
the make up was VERY hard to apply. i did 4 test runs before i wore this cosplay for sdcc. i did not paint the shoulder stripes all the way around to keep them from smudging on the back.
the gown is in three parts. there is an under layer that i did not make. it is a white shirred bridesmaid sheath dress i had from a wedding i consulted. the top layer is a very simple gown pattern with an elastic around the shoulders and bust to keep it from falling down. To expose the dress underneath, I purposely shirred the fabric shorter on the top gown. I could not find a cream fabric for the top gown, so I had to hand dye the material a few times to get an antique ivory color.
the accessory on the front is a piece of a nylon sash that i also dyed and attached later. The shell is paper mache molded and painted and attached with a badge backing.
the hat was the biggest labor. i made so many hats! i wanted a light but huge hat like the spirit's, but instead ended up finding the largest coolie i could find and spray painting it white. also, the veil is indeed a veil that i bunched and sewed to a headband like a bridal veil. the hat lays on top of the veil to hide the headband
there is a pic of me putting on the white makeup in following set
