The feathers are all hand applied and I lost count after 2000 XD I would say total it was about 50 hours and most of it was the feathers ahaha

the shoes are a wedge heel that I covered in this absolutely perfect fabric I got from Joanns last year. They are rhinestone’d with these tiiiiiiny stones (I burned myself with my glue gun so much) and I made the claws with hot glue. You draw your shape onto some aluminum foil or a silicone mat and then just build up the glue into your shape. Kinda like a proto 3D pen.

The skirt is a full circle skirt that I applied the feathers to from the bottom up and I regretted about halfway through gluing the feathers making such a full skirt but it looks really good so it was worth it I guess ahaha

The bodice is power mesh and a bra that I used to shape my feathers and I think the hardest part was not burning my boobs as I hot glued above the bra line

The legs are actually thigh highs because this fabric doesn’t have a lot of stretch. Well they’re magic thigh highs because the top is chub rub shorts and I sewed them to the shorts while I was wearing them which was a both a good and a bad idea for obvious reasons.

The necklace was just pearls and red glass beads to look like blood and I’m pretty proud of it.
