This dress was one of my big dream cosplays to make one day. I have been a massive fan of Phantom Of The Opera for over 10 years now and I still remember falling in love with the film for the first time, way before I was even interested in costumes. This costume was made with research from other costumers who have made this costume which was very useful especially for the back of the skirt. I ended up following most of their notes, but the bodice was drafted by myself. 

​

The flowers are connected with duct tape and covered in green lint. They are then fastened onto the skirt with hooks and ribbon. The skirt has a small train and a pink petticoat underneath with a slight ruffle on the hem. The front point of the bodice isn't sitting as well as I had hoped but since this costume is a bit older now I would most likely be able to do it better now. The costume consists of a petticoat, skirt and bodice with the bustle sewn onto the skirt, this gets attached to the bodice using poppers.
