Phoenix Rising
In each of these cases, the both outfits were made to be a companion to the other. While we didn’t compete with any of these, we did win a “Hall Costume” award.
Phoenix Rising was created out of the desire to create something comfortable, yet flashy. Sequined fabric was used for the design pieces, including the bird on the back and the matching one on the belt buckle. The gown was made to be flowing with the cape like attachment.
This outfit was made to follow the pattern of the other. The pants were two layers, one with holes in it, and the other solid underneath. The belt was made so a regular belt could run through it, so it would support the weight of a lightsaber. The boots were made from sneakers. The gown has a definitely Japanese styling, with many layers and a sash in the back. The belt was made to be styled after the other.
(The lightsaber has not been digitally enhanced.)
