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

Morgana's Green Cape

Morgana's green cape first appears in the last episode of the first season ( ep 13).
The cape was made of green velvet panne and the brooch is made with two parts of gold metal brooches with white beads and both are linked thanks to a gold chain with a big black oval bead.
To tie the cape when it comes to the neck : a yellow tie is sewed ( a kind of cord).

Do It yourself :

For the cape, I used the Simplicity 5794 Pattern, Model B and I lightly changed the hood pattern of the cape to make one bigger to get a better drop of the hood.

You will need about 6 meters of velvet panne to make the cape. If you want to line it, make sure you have about 10 meters at least.

For the Brooch, I bought metal chains and I did the brooch with polymer clay as FIMO and glue beads on it.

 I would recommend to make a kind of pattern for each different parts of the brooch (the bottom, and the upper part which makes an "8" with beads in the middle of the "8") and make the final piece with resin to get the metal aspect
