I Make a Gillian Owens Halloween Costume | Practical Magic Cosplay

[@monahli1597]

My company Monah Li made the original dress in 1997. I designed it. The dress was sold at Fred Segal in Los Angeles in many colors because I made all dresses in white and then dyed them. The costume designer from Practical Magic bought the green dress at Fred Segal and exchanged the skirt part. I never even saw the movie until a few days ago because I’m suddenly asked to make this dress again now. You’re doing a very good job how you make your dress and yes! Your red beautiful hair really needs this green color.

@@monahli1597 that is so cool! I had thought that the costume designer just found the dress, I had no idea they edited it as well. And thank you!

Great job! I'm going to be looking for moss green velvet...

Thank you! It's such a great color for velvet 💚

[@ProbablyShannonFord]

Is there any chance at ALLLLL that I could buy or rent this dress from you for a photoshoot? I have tried to find something and nothing comes close to what you’ve created it’s just so so good

[@AbiSueCostumes]

I'm so sorry, I don't rent out my costumes, and I still want to keep this one so I'm not selling either

[@McPerfectlyUnperfect]

Would you by chance make another one of these to my measurements if I paid you for it??

[@AbiSueCostumes]

Sorry, I don't do commissions

[@rubytuesday5960]

Does anyone know the original brand name?? This is beautiful!

[@AbiSueCostumes]

I wish I did! It would be so cool to know if the original exists out there still!

[@NaturesSara]

All the dresses were made by Betsy Johnson just for the movie. She has a few very similar styles that went out in her boutique during 98’. I’ve found a few here and there :)

[@AbiSueCostumes]

@@NaturesSara that's so cool!

[@lillyhammerl6833]

The original designer was my mom, Monah Li! She has explained in another comment how the costume designer changed the skirt part. But yeah there it is!!

[@AbiSueCostumes]

I love knowing how the dress came to be! Your mom is a lovely designer

[@luccabou]

Do you sell it? Thanks

[@AbiSueCostumes]

I don't, sorry
