Katniss Everdeen Wedding Gown Costume

I am wearing a 100% handmade Katniss Everdeen Costume! I love the Hunger Game series and was especially inspired by the fashion that Katniss wore in Catching Fire. I created this costume by first purchasing a plain white corset and hoop skirt. The skirt is made from layers of organza and chiffon. I sewed the ribbon on to the organza as well as the ruffled tulle. There are 400 yards of ribbon on the dress, around 100 yards of organza/chiffon, and 2" strips from 15 yards of tulle. I then hand sewed the ruffled organza on to the hoop skirt. I then began working on the corset by layering hundreds of feathers upon one another. I also created the cage. It is made from wire, hot glue, and glitter of course. There are crystals all on the cage. The cage is in the shape of the mocking jay.
