Marie Antoinette - Final Costume
I got this all done in Spring of 2020...just in time to go absolutely nowhere. Marie sat in my closet--and on my dress form--for nearly 2 years. I didn't get a chance to bring her out for a spin until DragonCon 2022.
My heroic friend, Rachel, spent nearly an hour helping me get into costume. I couldn't think of an easier way to get the arms positioned just so beneath my chin, so they had to be carefully safety pinned into place.
The overall effect was stunningly creepy. So much so that we had a hard time getting a good picture, because she would get creeped out and make me laugh! I added a blood-splashed mask to take it out into the crowded hallways. Then I stood very still, and waited for people to notice me. |
