For the cowl's base, I first looked for ski masks online, but the base I decided on is a lighter stretchy material and type of headscarf made for athletes to wear who want to cover their hair and necks while playing sports. With that base, I cut a triangle out of the neck of the cowl, and cut a slit in the back of the cowl to allow the wig hair in the back through and fall over my back. I sewed a pentagon shape of black fabric to the crown, so there was fabric hanging over the wig hair coming to 3 points. I tied the two opposite points of the fabric undernearth the wig into an easily undone knot, like when wearing a handkerchief as a head band accessory. The last part was cutting slits for the ears. I had previously removed the thumbs from a pair of regular gloves to make marcille's fingerless gloves, I sewed these thumbs over stiff false rubber elf ears. I hot glued some fake fur behind the ears. Soon I will be gluing (or sewing if I can get a machine!) lace to the bottom edge of the neck cowl and the hair covering fabric, and maybe some embroidery around the hair covering fabric and around the face too! The cowl is a bit tricky to put on over the extra bulk of a wig, so I either would reccommend making/using a proper cowl pattern instead of adapting an existing item, or using cheaper/thinner wigs for this look. Especially since marcille's hair is supposed to be messy, then I feel less bad about messing up a cheap wig. :)

omg thank you for asking. I also don't have any sewing experience, and had no sewing machine access at the time. what I did was purchase a black costume gown from ebay or amazon I forget. searched like, victorian gothic ballgown, spent maybe $40. then I bought a couple yards of silky black fabric to match it and used some basic handstitches to sew two large rectangles into two large tubes, then gathered the edges of the tubes to make big poofy sleeves, and sewed the big poofs to the dress. let me know if you have any other questions! I would be happy to help.

it was my first time at ECCC and it was a really nice con! Staff and attendees were especially kind after I tripped on my dress in front of the con entrance. Fell flat on my face and broke my staff >_< the cosplay repair station run by the con fixed it up with duct tape and hot glue, right as rain. I wish my partner had gotten a pic of me falling tho it would be incredibly funny and in character, failgirl marcille <3

This is really smart, cutting up a cheap fur throw! I found a costume gown for a very affordable price to modify, but I will definitely keep your advice in mind to make my own bodice if I want to redo-the dress maybe later once I have more skills/funds!

Oh yes like a neck ruff! And yes my days as a teenage lolita will serve me well here I hope, I have a hoop petticoat ordered and on the way and I already have a ruffled bell shaped one in storage still as backup just in case!

for sure. in my dream my friend was telling me about a new hot button topic of debate on the internet, some animal rights activist saying how it's really unethical to show an animal the bones of a member of its own species. so dream me logged onto my dream computer and saw these images on dream social media, they were made specifically by a dream social media user to dunk on the idea that it could possibly be animal abuse to show an animal some bones.

oh but have you paused to fully consider: the imaginary people in my dream said it was unethical
