Construction notes: The fabric for this costume was the hardest to find. I spent forever looking for the "right" fabric but this was as closest that I could find. I went with more blue and black tones as seen in the movie, oppose to the brown tones that are in the actual garment in normal lighting. The base of the cloak was from a jacket pattern that was lightly modified. I extended the bottom of the cloak and added horse hair braid at the bottom to make it bell out. The hood was drafted by me and added. The belt was made out of very wide elastic with black vinyl design sewn on and the metal rings also sewn into the belt. Black ribbon was added to tie it together. Black top is made sparkly fabric and is plastic boned. Leggings were bought at Target, boots were also purchased. Wig was off of e-bay and was the perfect color! Contacts were also purchased off line.
