Man, I am still ridiculously happy with how this costume turned out!!
The response so far has been more than I ever expected.
Main body of the dress is made of this... to be quite honest I'm not sure exactly what it is. Some sort of polyester/spandex thing. I found it in the bargain section of a fabricland and yoinked all they had left. I love the colour and how well it's been able to drape! The brighter orange is all a stretch twill. All patterns were drafted. The entire costume was hemmed using an embroidery stitch on my machine to add a little more detail to the costume.
The applique was definitely the hardest part of this costume. All fabric pieces itself I made one stencil for and cut the rest out of those to ensure they were all the same, and they were bonded to the costume with heat n'bond. Then, I hand-stitched around all the pieces with a slightly contrasting embroidery thread. I'm so happy it turned out nice and not hokey XD
Thanks for looking!
