We won a performance award titled the 'Whispy Jig Award'.Disney World is known as the Most Magical Place on Earth, and for some, Halloween is the most magical day! There's just something about getting all dressed up that makes things seem extra-special. I also competed at Ottawa Comic Con 2016's masquerade in this costume, along with one of my best friends who helped me in my skit with her highland dancing skills. It is actually 3D and the little bear designs actually do stick out. The belt buckle was carved out of a special high density floral foam, primed and painted. It's edges are all finished and it's sewn onto the belt. The tartan fabric is actually very similar to Merida's family's actual tartan which was just perfect. The belt is made of a brown vinyl, and the golden designs were made with a stencil I made and with a gold fabric marker. I also added the gold braid trim onto the bottom to add some extra detail and fanciness. It took me about four days total to do all the painting. The painted designs on the bottom were done by using a stencil I made, an traced on to the fabric. I decided for the bottom I wanted to use the satin side just to add something interesting to the costume. The blue fabric is double sided, one side is like a velvet, while the other is like satin. I only came across a few problems with the pattern and did alter a few things, but for the most part it was smooth sailing for the sewing. This costume was made following a pattern that is intended to look like Merida (McCall's m6817), so I decided to follow it as best as possible.

Instead I decided I wanted to make a more detailed version of her dress and add a lot of the details that the Disney Parks costumes have. Merida was made in 2015 and was intended to be a small costume in between projects.
