While the hairstyle and make up for Daenerys are not really hard, the dress might be a problem. But I will show you my solution for that problem. I have to admit, I am a big fan of second hand clothes shops! Especially when you have something in mind and you want it cheap! Look for something with clean and simple colors – blue, gray, brown, pink. And do not buy something that is too short (the longer the dress, the more expensive it is). I found my brown Daenerys dress, and it is long enough to cover the half of my calves. The most defining part of Daenerys’ dresses is that she wears them around her neck. That is what we are going to recreate today. Let’s begin:
All you need is:
>scissors
>small safety pins
- This is my dress. Start by putting on yours. If you find a dress that you can tie around your neck – perfect! If you cannot – it is not a problem! We will make one!
2. Start by cutting the back of the dress’ shoulder stripes.
3. Lift the neckline of the dress as close as you can to your neck.
- Adjust the dress as well as you can, so it is comfortable and then tie it up. If the shoulder stripes are too long just cut out the unwanted. If you bought a dress with the right fabric, you can make it so you have a nice open backline or in my case – a huge pack of hanging excess.
- But everything has a solution! Just shove it underneath.
- And here comes the imagination part! Now it is time to diversify our dress. Use small safety pins or a needle and a piece of string, to add folds and ornaments to the dress. The more imagination you have, the more magnificent it gets, but remember – do not overdo it! This is the most appropriate version for my body figure.
- If you have a body figure of an apple or just imperfections in the stomach area, this way is appropriate for you. Just lift and shove, to get the appropriate aerial effect on the top half.
- Or do something on the bottom half of the dress.
