Let's take a stroll through my rose garden. We can plot some deaths, drink some wine, it'll be fun

I am going as Sansa Stark for Halloween (I guess technically Littlefinger's niece Alayne) . Season 4, episode 8 when she is in the Vale of Arryn rocking a crow feather dress and saving Littelefinger's ass from the Moon Door. I put together a summary of the process for making the costume, feel free to ask me any questions!

The inspiration image. I do not have the bewbs but i loved the intricacy of the dress and wanted to try my hand at it.

Dress from a thrift store and black iridescent rooster feathers from a craft store. I had to cut the feathers into a scale shape and then hot glue them to the dress.

Wasn't sure how to approach the feather collar but then I found this dog cone at a thrift shop and a plan formed immediately. Used some black duct tape to help hold the shape and for a better gluing surface. Feathers glued on with a hot glue gun.

Shout out to my roommate for coming home early after I called her freaking out because I had left the glue gun plugged in. Thanks for saving our house <3

Sculpey clay! Brings back some daycare memories. Bought the chain and clay from a craft store and the nail polish I had. Came out pretty awesome.

Dire wolf bling is necessary. Got this piece in Colorado a few years back. RIP Lady.

Sorry for the selfies but I wanted to show my soul-losing journey. In the middle picture you can almost see the spark leaving my cold dead eyes. This was my first time dying my hair and I think it came out fairly well. Wella Color Charm 6R red terra cotta, took 2 boxes of liquid dye and volume 20 developed, left it in for 35-40 mins and then rinsed and conditioned.

Can't forget the Bend the Knee golden honey ale from Ommegang Brewery. Won this with a group of friends playing GoT trivia after the Season 7 finale. We were "The Children of the Bar" and we knew our shit.

Finished dress. It is by no means perfect but I had fun making it and only one person asked if I was a witch, so I'd call it a success? Thanks for reading! Happy Halloween :)
