Dream cosplays (picture heavy)

Every cosplayer has a dream cosplay. Whether they are just starting out or are a pro. There is always that character, the outfit you dream of creating. To prance around in. For me I grew up with this character and always thought she was so lovely and strong, like a true queen should be. (Why do I always pick royal characters?) I loved this movie when I was younger. Most of other kids my age didn't know about it. But it was my favorite. A true gem along movies. especially for someone who had little interest in Disney princesses.

The movie?

                                         

Remember it? Most likely not but its my favorite movie of all time. Besides Mirrormask and The Secret of Moonacre. This movie (even today) leaves me inspired. The characters, the actors, the costumes, the music and of course, the yellow brick road is wonderful.

 

This movie was so colorful, so exciting and thrilling. They really did a good job on it. But who is this character who claims the title of my dream cosplay? Oh did you have to ask?

That's right. Her royal highness, Ozma herself. This girl is my dream character to cosplay. Of course I want this to be a costume I make all by myself so I enter it in costume contests at every con I go to. Since I'm realizing I'm a bit of a perfectionist like most cosplayers tend to become I'll take my time with this, hoping this will be made some day. But until then, here are some more picture of the Ozma the great!

The outfit will consist of one very long light green gown with slit Russian style sleeves (I call them Russian style because that style was very popular during Imperial Russia. And are on the Anastasia gown I plan on making some day) The torso of the gown will be made of a slightly darker green covered in a light, flowy, see through green fabric. The necklace will be decorated in all sorts of green and white and seer pieces, and yes, lots of feathers. It looks to be at least four flowers on the neckline but I could be wrong. The waist is defined by green ribbon in which starts the long flowy skirt of the gown. The arms also have gold chains hanging from the top and down the arm. These seem to have green beads as well.

The skirt seems to be layered. The first layer is short then shows the layer under which hides her feet and ruby slippers. The second layer is also a train that flows behind her. There is a lot of beading on the gown near the waist so I'll be trying to bead them on myself. I'll also be making the famous head piece. Two flowers with the golden OZ. I love this headpiece and I have a feeling I'll refuse to remove it.
