This costume was inspired by the Mord Sith costumes in the television series "Legend of the Seeker."
It's a little different in certain design aspects - the most obvious being that it's black instead of dark red, but I tried to be as faithful as I could while still keeping the cost to a minimum. This project came about because my daughter is a huge fan of the show (especially Cara played by Tabrett Bethell!) and she wanted this costume for Halloween. Even though it's a rather large undertaking, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to work with her on it because it's one of the coolest costumes I've ever seen.
I know the video is long, but it's a fairly labor intensive costume to make. I had thought about making it into a series with each piece being a separate video, but I think they should really be together in one place. I tried to condense it in thoughtful ways, but I do include alternate approaches to accommodate individual preferences, and I also make the occasional mistake.
If you decide to make this costume I recommend watching the entire video first - at the very least watch the "Afterthoughts" section because that was made after the costume had been worn and I had some slight revisions.
If you haven't seen the show but are interested in fantasy shows and costumes I'd recommend that you check it out - all the costumes (and sets) are beautifully done. Jane Holland was the costume designer for the show.
