To celebrate the movie's 10th anniversary, I tried making the blue flower Bog gives Marianne. (By the way I have a YouTube channel.)

An abstract black, white, and grey strapless empire waist minidress, with hip pockets and a beaded hem. 

Or, a baby penguin costume.

The swooping asymmetry of this blue gown is inspired by a treble clef. 

The model’s right-hand waistband accent panel doubles as a pocket opening. 

I was showing one of my sisters my sketchbook and she said she would wear this design. If that happens I’ll ask her if it’s okay to put her photo in it on here.

This asymmetrical purple blouson dress is based on the shape of a bass clef. The wide panel on one side of the waistband supports a pocket. The single, circular cap sleeve resembles the single pauldron (shoulder armour) common in fantasy costumes.

I had an idea for cargo pants with diagonal stripes that look like the veins of butterfly wings, so I modelled them with human versions of fairy characters.

Dawn’s shirt is supposed to look like scales, because butterflies - and, I assume, fairies with butterfly-like wings - have scales on their wings. Marianne’s dragonfly shirt would probably, in-universe, be like wearing a shirt with a horse on it, since elves and goblins both seem to use dragonflies as horses in the movie, but I really picked it because Bog had dragonfly-like wings.

The second look in the birthstone collection is Amethyst. Like Garnet’s, this dress is not modelled after any particular outfit of hers from the show, but I felt like a jagged hem was something Amethyst would go for if she ever did wear a dress. I’m not sure why I gave her long gloves - maybe just to maximize the amount of purple in the image.
