Wow this costume department is amazing! Seriously, this gown contains some spoilers, though it is a natural extension of what we have seen in the second series. Just think about where that collar shape was first seen…

This is why I love costume. Its not about prety frocks, it’s not just about gret technique, it’s about character. And sometimes it makes you think and put pieces of a puzzle together.

This show does costumes like I have wanted see to on film and tv for a bloody long time. My feelings on the show itself are a bit more complex (which is also something I have wanted for a very long time!). If you don’t have a clue about symbolism you can still at least see that there are regional differences in clothing and hair- defined by the elements and the clannish aspects to the families.

It’s everything we ever learnt in the great costume design books right there, actually used.

Yay! always like to see photographers credited 🙂 It’s got me pondering though- how do you credit the costumer if a cosplay was not self made and you are at a convention…. I’ve even had people flat out refuse to say who made their costume.

Hoping against hope to be able to fit Liara in my luggage but the stress is piling up before D*C and I may not be able to make it.

Love the costume, and I know for a fact that this was self made, not store bought of bought from a costume maker.  but agreed its always nice to give credit where credit is due.

Yep, made by me (just in case this reblogging cuts off bits of text) 😉 But I have had people outright state that my work was made by someone else…

Sigh. I don’t know how you make that distinction in a big crowded convention. I mostly try and focus on those who do care about the distinction (I firmly believe in following your own bliss but being honest about it*) and also appreciate those who appreciate my work regardless of where they think it came from. And to let the rest just go.

*For me it is the process and seeing a project to the end. If the character is very dear to me I also love to try and capture the character in photographs. To date the easiest has been Shae Vizla and Darth Talon. Speaking of which I really should get a tumblr set of D*C and C6
