"The costume is made of imitation leather. I used your general pattern for the dress (although I had to alter it majorly so you might want to add that I say that it's worth just getting a custom one made) The skirt links are held together w/ brass paper fasteners. The armor is made from sheet copper that I cut out and bent to shape. The breastplate is made from paper mache that I made from coat hangers and spray painted over. The chakram is one that I bought online, it's plastic."
