Comic-Con Masquerade Contest: Mel O’Connor
Costume Name: Cersei Lannister
Costume Description: This here is my early season(s) Cersei Lannister! I love this dress because it gives me the opportunity to really do a lot of detail work. Also, I can carry around a glass of wine without question. Arguably her later dresses are a lot more bad ass, but the red dress allowed me the opportunity to hand embroider all over the place and do some beading! Everything on this dress is completely hand made, including the chain mail belt! I even made appliques for the Lion side panels. This dress has hundreds of hours of work in it and I love how it turned out.

Bio: I’m a hobbyist who likes to make stuff. Lots of stuff mostly made of fabric. I love making things that look and feel expensive, so Game of Thrones is right up my alley. It was a lot of fun decorating a space to take these photos!
