Making Daenerys' wedding dress (game of thrones)

I'll be uploading some tutorials from my old blog. Here is the first:

How to make Daenerys' wedding dress from game of thrones


 I used two different types of fabric: a shiny green-grey fabric and a white-creamy see-through material.
 cut two large rectangles: width = from the bottom of your bra - your feet + appr. 6 cm, length = enough to go around you about 1.5 times.


Take a simple bra your size. pin the two rectangles to the bra at the middle of the length.
 Pin the two layers. Pin the front straight and start making folds when you get to the sides.

 Cut the straps loose at the back. Cut one of the small rings at the bottom loose.
 Fasten the straps at the neck to keep it up.


 Sew the fabric to the bra. Use a zigzagging stitch on the front.


 Use a straight stitch on the sides and back. Stitch two lines.
 Sew two pieces of ribbon on the inside of the sides to prevent it from stretching too much.
 Now make two silver-coloured tubes wide enough to pull the bra straps through.
 Adjust the straps to the right size and sew them up.
 Pull the straps through the tubes with a bobby pin.
 Sew the tubes to the bra on the ends.

 Now cut two strips from each material. they should be about 60 x 15-25 cm.
  Gather the strips and pin them to the sides of the bra, then to the top and bottom.


 Sew the sides and top by hand on the inside, making sure the stitches aren't visible on the outside.
 Also sew the bottom by hand, on the front.
Hem the edges of the strips of material. (both strips together.)
 Now cut two silver rectangles for the bracelets.
A = the circumference of your upper arm + about 7 cm. B = twice the width you want them to be (about 4 cm) + about 1 cm.
 Sew the sides together and turn them inside out.
 Also sew the ends together.
 Cut two strips of the sheer fabric about about 15 cm wide and 75 to 120 cm. (depending on how long you want them to be)
Gather one side of the fabric and sew it to the bracelet. Attach velcro to the ends of the bracelet. Now sew two thin pieces of ribbon or string to the bracelet.












   



Hem the bottom of the dress. (hem the two fabrics separately) and sew the back up.




 Cut the pieces of material on the front to the right size so they are long enough to cross over eachother at the front and fasten at the back. Gather the ends and sew velcro to them. Sew two black pieces of ribbon or string to the straps the same way as with the armbands.


And it's done! The only thing you still need is the dragon pin
