For short: I searched and found:
The longer version: I've decided to go with the Egyptian themed costume for this years Elf Fantasy Fair. The dress I intent to make is inspired mostly by the bleu dress Nefretiri (Played by Anne Baxter)wears in the 1956 movie 'The Ten Commendments':
Pitty I don't have a hunky prince of Egypt to accessorize the outfit ;)
Anyway... I have white cotton for the underdress, and a beige-ish linnen-like fabric to go on top. A broad ribbon, gold and blue, will be placed under the bust.
The original dress has a short Egyptian cloak, but I'll make a bigger one, that can be attached to bracelets around my lower and upper arm, a little like the wings of Isis. Some embroidery around the border to add a little more colour (blue and gold).
The vulturcap will be made of EVA-foam, and in such a way I won't need a wig (more explanation when I actually have something to show).
And than the accessories. Like the original picture I'll 'make' a panther hide.
I've found some lovely faux fur, and I'll line it with white fleece. Knowing the Dutch weather in April, I'll probably need it.
My second accessory will be the pharaoh's staff, like the ones found in King Tut's tomb:
How will I make them? Not sure yet. Wood, or EVA-foam...
I'll keep you posted.
