Costume Submission Thread

[Vetari Violet]

Hey people of Kalinor!

This is a thread for all of you attending the Autumn 57th Masquerade to post all your costume designs! You can write them in or post a picture, but just be sure to also have a description of them in the Masquerade post itself! We'll be coming back here for quick reference to know what everyone is wearing and for the final judging of who has the best costume!

Happy Masquing!

The description, from my entrance post:

Her dress, if one could call it that, was a brilliant scarlet against her slate-grey fur. It covered only the bare minimum required for the Symenestra's inscrutable modesty, and was well-accented by the tufts of long red fur at her elbows and knees. On her face, instead of a traditional mask, she wore the upper half of a cougar skull, dyed a dark brown with real blood! Above this, somehow, a gnarled horn protruded from her head. The band keeping it attached to her forehead was hidden under her deep blue hair. But her wings were the truly impressive piece. A light tapestry was hung across the back of each one, with the effect that, when she spread her wings, anyone behind her was greeted with the impression that a large and angry monster was glaring at them.

I'm just going to assume NPcs are not eligible to win, and leave her sister out of it

The mask itself had been the simplest. A simple order of a leather masquerade mask, fitted to go upwards from the tips of her cheek and nose. Then she herself had covered it with the crown of gold, and yellow feathers that adorned it, stiffened and spiraling high above her head in a parody of a cockatiel.

The dress had been harder. A deep gold silk, it was crafted and cut into an elegant sleeveless gown, with small pieces of near invisible silk hanging from the front. The bodice was smallm using colorful embroidery to color it like the V of a bird’s breast. And below it, overlaying the silk, were false gold and yellow feathers covering nearly every inch of the dress, and splashing over her bare simple golden silk slippers.

Finally was the shawl, larger than most with silk and false feathers to match the dress both on the inside and outside of the shawl. At the end of each corner of the shawl were small silken loops to slid over ones middle fingers. And at the top edge were fine, nearly invisible silk threads to tie with those on the dresses bodice, holding it firmly in place.
