Megara

I'm a damsel; I'm in distress; I can handle this. Have a nice day!

Hercules is one of my favorite Disney movies. Daring adventure, an honest but sometimes clueless hero, blatant disregard and parody of Greek myth... It's generally pretty awesome.

And I love Meg. I love how she is strong, sassy, and independent. She doesn't wait around waiting to be rescued; she does what she has to in order to survive, and always with a sassy comeback to boot. But despite the tough exterior, she is still able to overcome her past and find happiness with Herc.

  • Dress
    Made from two colors of matte satin from JoAnn. The skirt pattern was drafted by taking my measurements for my underbust, waist, hips, and desired hem width and dividing them by the number of panels used to make the skirt (11). The bodice was adapted from an old sewing pattern. The dress zips up with an invisible zipper under the left arm.

    The purple sashes were also self-drafted. They are pleated, and the pleats are sewn down to keep the sashes from losing shape. I used a stiff fabric as a base to keep the lower sash standing upright off of my hip.

  • Accessories
    - The wig is a Jeannie and a curly clip in Mahogany from Arda Wigs
    - The scarf is a cut of poly chiffon from JoAnn
    - The flower was also found at JoAnn.
    - I need to wear my Corset Story underbust corset in order to fit into this costume; it's made for a high hip/waist ratio!
