Merida – Brave

This was made on a whim over a period of two weeks. The patterns were created by me from several yards of muslin. The dress itself is made from dark green wool, cream chiffon (for the ruffles), and cream coated leather cord. The cape is four yards of brown wool flannel. 

The wig was hand dyed, cut, and curled, a tedious process that took many hours. 

Despite the simplicity of this, it’s become one of my favorite costumes. 

You can learn about how it was made in the two posts below

I also have two posts filled with photos of this costume.
