I have always loved creator Kosuke Fujishima's beautiful illustrations of Bell with the floating bow with sashes, delicate wings and fishtail dress, so I decided to combine my favorite elements into one outfit. I chose light pink instead of white because I didn't want my dress to end up looking too much like a wedding gown, and Belldandy is known to wear pink .

​

The dress has hand-stitched pearls scattered all over the front, boning for support and laces in the back. White sheer layers accent the flare at its bottom as well as the shoulders, with a matching massive bow and draping sashes in the back.

​

I also made some jewelry for this costume, such as the necklace and some bracelets that I forgot to wear >_< at the con.
My friend Tristine Citrine made a wonderful pouch that attaches to the dress—thank you <3

To create Belldandy's signature hairstyle, I started off with a multi-toned wig and added an insane amount of hair extensions to it. To match the wig's beautiful streaks and colors, I chose about 4 differently colored extensions and blended them together, cutting and trimming here and there. I then sewed the various pieces into the wig, creating the long bangs and ponytail, finishing everything off with the sheer sashes and flowers.
 

As for the wings, I made them in a similar way as the "Midnight Wings" black pair, but sticking fairly closely to the signature AMG style angel wings (see reference.) I also needed these to be smaller, lighter and thus easier to transport. They fold together for transport and are fairly bouncy and adjustable, and the dress laces right over them.
