The Wishing Gown!
The absolute biggest labor of love I’ve taken on to date! I based mine on the US/Broadway versions, which meant sewing about 100 some odd yards of the aqua satin ribbon and navy blue velvet ribbon throughout the engageantes, hem, panniers, pleats, bow center and waterfall drapery of the gown. As much work as it was, there are just so many things about this version that I like more than any other, I remember seeing the Wishing Gown when it was just finished on the shop, the backdrapes had yet to go through ten thousand rounds of dry cleaning and pressing and it had this gorgeous soft flow to it, rather than the very deliberate looking ones that we tend to see as the gown ages- and that was the image that really stuck out in my mind when I was creating the folds.
When I finished it in time for NYCC, it had a far less defined bustle (or “Vegas-based” if you will) which contributed to a lot of the issues I had with it, to the point where I almost didn’t really want to deal with it again for BroadwayCon, but once I added a bigger bumroll to it, the skirt finally took on the silhouette I had always envisioned.
If you’re interested in seeing the costume making process from start to finish (as well as the various photoshoots we’ve done along the way) click here for my Wishing Gown Adventures!
And finally, while I might end up taking on other Wishing Gown commissions in the future, I will be retiring the Broadway version from my repertoire, sorry folks!

This is officially the most wtf thing I’ve ever done for Phantom cosplay.
At least I found a use for the taxidermy deer head in the garage.
Inspired by all the Dave The Deer insanity on the Phantom tags. You know who you are!
this was a suggested post on my dash.
This deer is literally haunting my life.
Hahah, oh my God, it’s back!
Though I’m sad to say I don’t have the deer head anymore...

The Palais Garnier is a 1,979-seat opera house, which was built from 1861 to 1875 for the Paris Opera. It was originally called the Salle des Capucines, because of its location on the Boulevard des Capucines in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, but soon became known as the Palais Garnier, in recognition of its opulence and its architect, Charles Garnier. The theatre is also often referred to as the Opéra Garnier and historically was known as the Opéra de Paris or simply the Opéra, as it was the primary home of the Paris Opera and its associated Paris Opera Ballet until 1989, when the Opéra Bastille opened at the Place de la Bastille.The Paris Opera now mainly uses the Palais Garnier for ballet.

Uploaded one of my Erik doodles to Motion Portrait last night and it was so cool and mildly unsettling to see him moving!

Her Majesty’s Theatre in London, created out of legos, by JanetVanD!
No, but seriously. You look at this and think “wow, cool”. Then you realize this is LEGO, and every detail is replicated, in LEGO. Holy sh… A piece of art.
