This shows the intersection of the hip/skirt gores fronts, sleeve, side back and back hip/skirt gore. Same view but from the bottom looking up. No…
May 12, 2014 by michaela de bruce MALEFICENT at The El Capitan Theatre MALEFICENT explores the untold story of Disney’s most iconic villain from the classic SLEEPING BEAUTY. *arm flail* Someone please go. The gown will be on display! Though on the other hand I will be aiming to wear mine at about the same…
Maleficent, new parks costume, maybe….? May 12, 2014 by michaela de bruce Well it was made for the Social Media Moms’ event so it may or may not be permanent. The gown in action sheds a lot of light on the train of the original. It fits to the back after all unlike…

Really good example of how much extra clay goes on: On the left is the horn with the added clay on the right has it shaved back again. Due to the angle of these photos there is more uneveness than there really is! However I have reshaped the horns from being cones…
