Cosplay: Daenerys Targaryen

Date Completed/Debut: Halloween 2014
…photoshoot below was for Valentine’s Day 2015 mini-cards

Time Spent: ~10 hours

Materials:
Simplicity 1347
Microsuede/Faux Leather, Burlap, Horse hair for the braid ties
Acrylic paint (1 part blue 2 parts red) — was very careful not to eat the blood, had to wash out asap!
Spirit Halloween HBO official Daenerys wig

Why?
Daenerys grows out of her meek, shy shell and into the Khaleesi she is destined to be. While still naive in political sides, her character fights for what is right for her people. I admire the fight (and fire) she has and resonate with desert royalty, even if she didn’t look like it 😉

After Thoughts:
This was a fairly quick costume and turned out great for Halloween. Eventually I’d like to make a more screen accurate version, with more dirt/bloodstains. While the wig was a great shade of pale blonde, I would purchase a higher quality silver-blonde to be more book accurate.
