For a college art project, I decided to create a stage costume for Glinda from the Wizard of Oz. It was a bit ambitious considering the short amount of time we were given and the miniscule budget, but I did it in the end! My college rented out space to display the best of students' work for the Art Show, and my dress was featured, alongside some photographs I took of my lovely friend, Micka, modelling it. Here's a little peek at our photoshoot. I even made the wand - picture me using terrifying metal cutting machines and saws in the 3D department doing this. Yikes!
In case you were wondering how the dress actually looked, I also took this full length picture. I'm pretty proud of it considering the closest I'd ever come to making my own clothes was primary school sewing club, in which we simply threaded thick wool strands through foil with holes in it! I didn't follow a pattern, just bought the material and tried to make it look as princessy as possible. Do you think Glinda would wear it?
