Bellatrix Lestrange Costume

Spent many, many hours, hand sewing all the bits and pieces together.

The dress was purchased pre-made. I cut off the sleeves and sewed them back on with ribbon. Also added the hood. made a simple pixie skirt to wear under the dress(showing a little too much thigh!)

Hand stitched the corset.

Painted the mask, and crafted the necklace from polymer clay(of course forgot to put it on to take the pictures).

The wand was hand carved from a branch from a tree in my front yard.
