Bloodborne - Lumenflower

Halloween is drawing near and I couldn't be more excited! I wanted to share some photos from a mini-shoot I did with my Lady Maria costume. This character is incredibly close to my heart, so I hope the new shots do her justice.   
The few times I wore this costume, I felt like there were certain feelings or detail that were missing.  This time, I added weathering to her costume, went for a more characterized makeup look, and created a stage-inspired lighting setup to enhance the mood.  I couldn't be more thrilled with how they turned out, I feel like I captured what eluded me last year!

Costume and photography by me.

Construction Notes

The costume was made by me except for the undershirt and trousers, which were purchased and then dyed.  The boots and hat were bought and modified and the pendant was an Ebay find.  
Maria's hunter gear is beautifully textured, so I wanted to reflect that with each chosen material.  The cape, trousers, and hat are all made out of microsuede. The gauntlets and top of the boots are made of leather while the vest was made of dupioni silk.  The jabot is made of a gorgeous off-white linen.  
The jacket is made of a lovely jacquard black fabric, which I decided to line in an iridescent taffeta that is woven with scarlet red and shot with black.  The bottom of the hems were weathered and then burnt to give it "The Old Yharnam treatment."  The jabot/necktie is made of linen and is dyed using tea and wine.
