Hello friends! Thanks for supporting my Patreon for the Space Faerie project! As part of your rewards, I promised some detail shots of the costume... so here they are! Enjoy! We start with the gloves: deceptively simple-looking contraptions, these things are surprisingly hard to take on and off! Next we have some of the puffy details that cover the costume; this particular one is at the top of the bodice. Polyfill stuffed into fabric tubes gives the dimension any 80s sci-fi designer would be proud of! Moving down, you can really see the appliqué stitched down to the front with a triple chain stitch, which retains stretchiness without the need for a tacky zig-zag stitch! You can also see some of the hip pad details off to the side. Sticking muh leggy out real far reveals the beautiful Pleiades star cluster scattered across my space pants. The leggings and boot covers are one and the same, with the leggings extending all the way down to seamlessly cover my favorite pair of comfortable convention heels. The wings are vinyl with custom painted galaxies on the tips! And, of course, they light up real pretty. Satin stitching forms the channels for structural steel wire. More decorative stitching creates the vein details. Both the shape and details of the wings are inspired by the antlion species glenurus gratus. And finally, we have a pair of incredibly cheap latex ears sourced from the 2017 Spirit Halloween clearance! They're cheap, but effective against the wig, an Arda Magnum in Dark Blue. That's it for this costume's detail photo gallery! I hope you enjoyed the various space bits!
