Above. Fall woodland Fairy by Crude Things
Crude thing is a quite a rarity... featuring equally rare items... From Gothic Lolita to Bellydance, from fairy tale and vintage to pop and futuristic elements... all mixed together to render some oddities The designer started working as hair stylist and worked in NY then to move to Portland to make very unique art wigs that sell all around the world: paintings, dolls, puppets that are life sized & used for performance art, marionettes, clothes, and sculptures with works published in a wealth of magazines and media press and exhibited in several countries. It really has a lovely collection of fantasy wigs of a quality far beyond the usual cosplay wigs and styled in a suitable way for gothic souls.

One of the most eye catching characters portrayed in Tim Burton's Alice in wonderland movie is the White Queen Character. We had previously covered an article about the Red Queen... so now we go for her sister and antagonist.
There is just SO MUCH about this period and style that this is the first of quite a few articles around this topic... Still we had to start some point and here we are. Recently, Sophia Coppola's aproachment to this character (performed in the movie by Kirsten Dunst) in Marie Antoinette drew new attention to it and The Rococo period (late 18th century) rendered really the most flamboyant, colorful and beautiful dresses in fashion history. A tight bodice right with a front stomacher to enhance women's sihouettes and ahem!... generous sexy generous breasts, along with a wide skirt with the proper side panniers and petticoat.

Hats, artificial flowers, ribbons... More and more ornaments almost sinfully. If you want a custom made "Marie Antoinette" corset you can order it in Bibian Blue's shop. Based in Barcelona, we previously covered this designer in an article, aside of the collection that you can find on her website, she can also make a custom order for you. I have a rococo black corset for my performances that I certainly love (pics coming soon ;-)
I will highlight this lovely dress called "Grand Marie" in "The twilight parlour" website. In ivory and cream color with flat fronted bodice and yards and yards of fabrid in the skirt!
Looking here and there you can find dresses to make to bring your character to life!
An affordable option is this one, the seller offers it in different colours at around 300$
