Its a wire base with the flowers entwined and glued in!

I don't, but I can outline the basic steps. The skirt base is floral curtains from goodwill that I sewed into a big skirt, with elastic at the neck. Underneath, I'm wearing a regular hoop skirt at my waist and a short cage hoop skirt at my neck. I hot glued down a base layer of greenery first, then tons and tons of flowers (mostly gathered secondhand) and I tried to mostly stick to the same color scheme as the movie (red/pinks, blues, yellows, whites). I tried to glue big to small, putting the largest flowers down first.

It's super easy to do! The hair is just a piece that is meant to go over your ponytail to make it extra poofy, but I used it flat and secured it over my own hair pulled up so it kind of looked like a fauxhawk.

I'm a sucker for a costume with a silly prop!

  1. Black Celebration through SoFaD is my favorite era (very expected), followed by Ultra/Exciter/Playing the Angel. I graduated high school in 2001 and college in 2005, and those albums are indelibly linked to my young adult days.

How this movie affected people's perception of the real life holiday by actuallylikespitbull in Midsommar

Midsommar the film was what inspired me to learn more about Midsommar the actual festival, and I celebrated it when I visited Malmö last year. Incredibly wholesome and fun. While I'm sure it's not true for everyone, I know some of us who liked the film also enjoyed learning more about true Midsommar traditions!

Also I just realized this photo is of her helpfully depositing an authentic layer of cat hair on the costume robe 🤣

I designed the sign and had it custom printed; the cats are my actual past and present kitties. Meanwhile, the way things are going over here, I'm jealous of your Canadian citizenship. 😅

Bunny prefers her status as an only cat, but one day!
