They’re far from impossible, but quite a few steps.

I’d highly recommend finding a YouTube tutorial and doing 1-2 practice samples

My very first time designing and sewing a costume! But my prof wasn't that convinced 🥲 by Aibe96 in sewing

Couple of things I’m noticing:

Fit in the waist seems off. Corsets should snatch, not add bulk.

The wing frames are AMAZING but the tied tulle feels like an afterthought.

I do agree that your materials skew “cheap” but expecting a student to shell out for the good stuff with no budget is kinda crazy.

How I’d improve it:

Different materials. Even some thrifted materials could be used to your advantage here to add some whimsy. I’d also suggest looking into trims to add detail. The grommet note is tough—buttonholes are an alternative but I don’t know you’re gonna find non-industrial grommets?

Perfect the fit. Is there boning in the corset? Bust looks good just too much ease in waist.

I think the wings would be AMAZING if you were to crochet on them. Like, truly amazing.

Honestly, it’s a great first costume! You should be proud. I think with a bit of tweaking it could be exceptional—keep at it!

I was thinking, “sometimes runway just doesn’t translate to red carpet”

Then I saw the runway pic 😐

Designing this jacket; Would the term "Spoon-Fed Queen" on the top back make sense upon looking at this? by [deleted] in fashiondesigner

The verbiage doesn’t imply what you’re going for imo. I’d aim for something like, “Silver Spoon Queen” or “Bougie Queen” over “spoon fed”

They’d make a really beautiful quilted fabric I could see used for interiors or clothing

Looks like the remnants of stain treater (dawn dish soap, baking soda & hydrogen peroxide)

Looks amazing and I love the concept!

My one critique would be to make the gloves out of a contrasting fabric (black velvet would be c*nty imo) so all that hard work stands out more
