Morrigan – Darkstalkers

Made for: Anime Expo 2003

Background: For a masquerade duo with my friend as BBHood.

Journal Entries: Read more at my Morrigan tag

Patterns Used: None

Leotard: I bought the leotard and altered it – though I ruined my first leotard 2 days before I left for AX trying to cut the heart shape into it – I had to run out the next day and buy another leotard and make all my alterations again. This time my dad made a wireform for the heart shape, and I sewed the fabric around it. The feather trim on the shoulders I found at Hobby Lobby – I love it! (My cats did, too, haha.) The sleeves I made, dyed, and then attached them to the leotard.

Wings: The wings I’ve never been terribly happy with. I made a wireform and gave it body with some batting – I loosely taped all that down, then covered it in the black vinyl. The spines of the wings in the middle I made of a more bendy wire, and the lower half of the wings were sewn around them. The horns I made of sculpey and wired to the base. I attached them to a D-ring, which was sewn onto the back of the leotard. The head wings I made basically the same way, and wired into the wig. They’re removable to I can replace them with my Lum horns again if I need to. The big wings were attached to fishing wire which I wore looped around my wrists, so I could hold up and move the wings around.

Accessories: The wig was my Lum wig from the year before. I bought the pink tights and added the bats. I bought the boots on ebay and cut the top off.

History: I wore this to a couple of cons before it went into storage – where the vinyl on the wings eventually broke down. I managed to get a handful of new photos before I sold it.
