Making a Baroque Dark Unicorn Costume with 1,100 Gems Because ✨Sparkles✨

Let's make an epic Baroque dark unicorn costume! After 2 months of work and 1,100 rhinestones, this thing is ready to sparkle and frolic in a fantasy forest! Based on an extant 1660's gown from the Fashion Museum in Bath, this labor of love (emphasis on the labor) is a gorgeous gown from the mid 17th century that is me-made and almost entirely hand-stitched! (Except for the boning channels. I'm a masochist, but I'm not crazy.) In this video, I'll walk you through all the steps to transform the 17th century petticoat and bodies we made last video into a sparkly, embroidered, embellished Baroque dark unicorn! We'll make a homemade unicorn horn, a flower tiara, learn how to make a mythical silk-painted-by-hand overskirt and bedazzle literally more than a thousand gems onto some golden lace to add just a little extra *pizazz.* If you'd like to help support this channel, you can check out my Ko-fi page ☕🧡 : https://ko-fi.com/fantasticalfollies Missed us building the gown?
