Morgana's Green Dress






This Morgana Dress appears in the episode 08 of the first season, and then you find it in season 2 and 3.
It seems that it exists 2 versions of this dress : 
  • One very simple with a gold belt which has diamond-shaped motifs on it.
  • The Second one with the same basic dress with a simple gold belt and elements sewed all along the collar ( it looks like blue-green beetle wings jewelry). 
The necklace she has with this dress always change, so I will make a special post about her jewelry.
As you can see, the dress is totally made with the same green fabric, but there is a violet fabric for the inner coat of the sleeve.
There are about 80 (or more) rhinestones ("beetles ailes / wings") along the collar.
The violet fabric could be purple satin-silk, and the green fabric is hard to guess.
I was trying to make this dress, and I didn't know what it could be. I thought it was a knit, wool fabric, but it's not the case. So, I sent a message to the costume designer, Charlotte Morris and she answered me that :
"The dress was actually made from a heavy woven textured silk that we dyed green."

So I made my researches and I found that It could be Tussah silk ( an Indian silk) or what we call "raw silk". This kind of silk is often made in Asia : Cambodia or India. After many researches, I suggest to search "Ahimsa indian fabric" : it really has the raw thing like tweed I was looking for.






Do It Yourself :

To make this dress, I suggest you to use the Burda 7977 Pattern which is a pattern for historical costume.

There's also the pattern for the belt you can use. You will need to change the collar shape to make one bigger.
You will need around 4 or 5 meters of green heavy woven textured silk.
For the belt, you can make one with fabrics. I used gold silk to make the belt. (around 2 meters to have a very long belt around your waist).














For the jewelry, I would recommend you to make your own rhinestones with resin and blue or green stained glass paint. And then I would glue them all along the collar with "Neoprene Glue". Or just search on esty "beetle wings jewelry" :D
