Only for two brief moments of the day did she appear, the sun princess; once with the setting of the sun and the second at the rising when the sun first rays hit the dew dropped grass. Its said that her smile breaths warmth in to the world which her feet may only fall for the most fleeting of moments......

Few more of my Evil Queen costume literally spent almost a hole afternoon wearing this out in public i got so many weird looks but it was well worth it.

There’s something really exhilarating about playing a evil character and the costumes are always cool. managed to make the majority of the dress out of fabric scraps and curtains clearing some of my many boxes of fabric scraps i have lieing around. will be getting a tutorial of how i made this up on my word-press site in a couple of days so keep an eye out.
