A Peacock Princess
When we were first contacted by Raygan’s parents, Raygan wasn’t sure which type of costume she wanted. She had been looking at our website of sketches and was drawn to the Cinderella Pumpkin Coach design. However, she had always had a love for Peacocks. So we suggested making something original for her that would be a Peacock Princess.
Raygan loved the idea and we went to work starting on sketches and color patterns for her new chariot. We knew that everything would be based on the colors and designs of a peacock feather, so we gathered as many actual feathers that we could, and then fabric and felt that matched the colors the closest. All of the supplies were brought to one of our workshops where we had numerous volunteers working on multiple costumes. The team began assembling the parts of the costume.
First step was to build a light PVC frame for the peacock throne that wouldn’t interfere with Raygan’s ability to drive her chair.
Next, we cut out as many teardrop shapes of the different colors of felt. (Saphire, blue, emerald, and kelly green)
We assembled them with hot glue into feather like patterns for the back of the chair as well as wheel covers.
We began adding the actual peacock feathers on top of the felt teardrops.
While all the pieces were being assembled, we also had some volunteers working on the peacock tule skirt that Raygan would wear. It featured an elastic waste band that Raygan would wear over bright blue leggings.
Finally, the assembly began and putting it all together on the wheelchair.
With all the pieces in place, here is the (almost) completed costume for Raygan.
Before we shipped the costume, we decided that the costume needed a bit more bling. So in the photos below, you will see how jewels were added to many places on the costume. These were hot glued onto the felt parts of the costume and really helped elevate the costume to “princess” status for Raygan’s Peacock Princess.
The final costume was shipped to Raygan and she loved it. She ended up winning a local costume contest with it. Congratulations, Raygan!!!
