Padmé's lake Gown

Made after the one worn in Star Wars, episode II, this is made entirely of silk, with mother of pearl jewels. Thanks to the pictures made at the exhibit, this is probably the most accurate version available, making it more than a mere cosplay.

Lamia, from Stardust

One with the more time consuming costumes I have made so far. Screen accurate pattern fabric for the bodice, silk gauze for the rest and handmade trim that took more than 50 hours to complete.

Mina's red dress

Made after the work of Eiko Ishioka for Winona Ryder, in Dracula, this red dress features thousands of tiny fabric petals, made with the kanzashi japanese technique. The right corset and petticoat complete the silhouette

Flame handmaidens

I have made all of these handmaiden dresses except two of them, and I have hand dyed them all. They're all made in silk velvet.

Melisandre

Made in pure linen, with silk lining, this dress has been made to match the one worn in the Game of Thrones series. It has been embroidered around the neckline to mimic fire burns.
