I changed the color scheme to black and silver instead of white, so the bottoms would look less "granny-panty" like O_O. I also found this amazing patterned metallic fabric in both black/silver and red/silver on Fabric.com (they rock!!) and it really evokes the glamorous retro look of this design. 
As you may know, 100% accuracy is not what I'm about when cosplaying. Instead, I want to bring the character to life, and translate the feel and look of the character into a costume. It's my way to pay homage to the character and artist, but making the costume fit me as a person. 
The corset is the most important part on this cosplay, so I took about 20 hours making it. It is steel boned, lined in coutil, and I used black velvet to make the trim (which was frustrating, to say the least). I made my own pattern for a mini top hat and made it out of 3mm craft foam, then covered it in the matching velvet. This made the hat lightweight, unlike the Worbla mini top hat I made for Moulin Rouge Snow White last year.
Everything on this costume was made from scratch by me, except for the vintage gloves and stockings/shoes. Styling the wig was the most difficult part of this costume, since it was my first time doing victory rolls!
