My Halloween costume this year!! I finally mostly finished my interpretation of @mayakerns ballerina chimera Falin design! There’s a few more things I want to do to make it fully fleshed out (like a tail and finish the gloves and my wig) but I’m super happy how it turned out!
Details breakdown under the cut
The feathers are all hand applied and I lost count after 2000 XD I would say total it was about 50 hours and most of it was the feathers ahaha
the shoes are a wedge heel that I covered in this absolutely perfect fabric I got from Joanns last year. They are rhinestone’d with these tiiiiiiny stones (I burned myself with my glue gun so much) and I made the claws with hot glue. You draw your shape onto some aluminum foil or a silicone mat and then just build up the glue into your shape. Kinda like a proto 3D pen.
The skirt is a full circle skirt that I applied the feathers to from the bottom up and I regretted about halfway through gluing the feathers making such a full skirt but it looks really good so it was worth it I guess ahaha
The bodice is power mesh and a bra that I used to shape my feathers and I think the hardest part was not burning my boobs as I hot glued above the bra line
The legs are actually thigh highs because this fabric doesn’t have a lot of stretch. Well they’re magic thigh highs because the top is chub rub shorts and I sewed them to the shorts while I was wearing them which was a both a good and a bad idea for obvious reasons.
The necklace was just pearls and red glass beads to look like blood and I’m pretty proud of it.
Honestly I’m super proud of the whole thing it was a lot of work but I had a lot of fun making it!
Have you wanted to own a @mayakern skirt but they’re too expensive?
I will give away a 70$ giftcard to her store next Wednesday (11/13/25) ((when I get paid)) to 1 random person who reblogs this and shows me their pet. If you do not own a pet a stuffed animal or a cool stick would suffice.
I own so many of her skirts it’s time to redistribute the wealth a bit 💕
Outfit for the Thanksgiving potluck at work today. I was able to carry a mostly full 2-liter of Pepsi Zero Sugar Wild Cherry in one of my pocket. @mayakern skirts never miss.
It's a little suika-like I made with my friend, @mayakern!
