Costume Details

After having Bloom’s Enchantix version on my cosplans list for forever, I decided it was time to finally tackle one of my dream costumes!
The dress consists primarily of 3 tiers of iridescent organza, each a slightly different shade of blue/green. Each layer was airbrushed to create a gradient, then hemmed with fishing line and metallic thread to create those magical ruffles. I also added various colours/sizes of AB rhinestones which, combined with the metallic lurex base fabric, give the perfect amount of sparkle.

The wings themselves were also a huge challenge! I wanted them to be a lot more sturdy than my previous Bloom wings, and so I invested in designing an aluminium frame which I had laser cut. Then, I layered various types of automotive vinyl; this was a big learning curve as it must be applied very carefully to avoid bubbles. In the end, the wings ended up being heavier than I would have liked and are really only suitable for wearing for short periods during photoshoots, but visually they turned out exactly as I had hoped!
