My Yor costume consists of two main components:

A somewhat canon midi length dress with a built in mini skirt (for those high kick poses lol)

A long dramatic skirt train attached via heavy duty snaps.

Materials:

The main black fabric is a heavier knit with an embossed velvet pattern that I haggled in the LA fabric district. It has a slight stretch and does NOT wrinkle 👍.  

The lining for the skirts is the Flower Brocade Velvet from my CosplayFabrics.com line. I love how extravagant it looks and that it elevated the costume design with a couture flair.

By far, the most time-saving material is the faux leather trim, also from my own cosplay collection, and I thank the cosplay gods that JOANN keeps restocking it!

Lastly, I cut up a vintage bodysuit with a rose motive to make her little wrist cuffs.

 Construction:

I made the main dress after doing a mock up and gave it a little more volume in the skirt area. The knit fabric is heavy enough that I only had to line the bottom half of the dress, which also made sewing the faux leather trim on easier. 

The skirt train is about 4 yards of knit with another 4 yards of brocade velvet as lining. I sewed a red trim along the rounded bottom hem and made a pleather waist band on which I hand sewed 6 heavy duty snaps. This allows me to easily attach and detach the long skirt from the dress for transport and movement. 

The back of the skirt train is embellished with a bouquet of faux roses which look far nicer than I had expected! I tried multiple different ways of embellishing the skirt train, like pinning on appliqués, then lace, then various trims, and nothing looked quite as striking as just attaching a bunch of flowers to it. Sometimes the most obvious solution is the best one. 😅

I used the  feaux leather trim to make Yor's collar and shoulder straps, deviating from the canon design a bit for fun. I also made the boot tips with the same trim. The boot covers are made with my low stretch pleather which I actually find to be quite stretchy and durable. 

I thought a fancier flower crown would be a nice touch to balance out the big skirt so I made a zip tie halo crown, painted it gold and glued faux roses to it. I also embellished it with a ton of Swarowski crystals and rhinestones that I already owned. 

Yor's weapons, earrings and little neck hanger were 3D printed by a friend based on Dangerous Ladies' 3D STL files.  Brian and I put the pieces together, sanded them and painted them.

I made pockets for the weapons in my skirt which I am now calling poke-kets lol

The wig is from Amazon and had to be restyled completely, and I'm still not quite happy with it. I may add wefts to the sides  before the next time I wear it.
