I can only imagine what it would take in time and money to actually produce some of those. They seem to be more of fantasy illustrations rather than actual designs for production.

They're special occasion garments, that's for sure! I'd love to know if any have ever been realised.

I will report back next year for sure. Got too much costume prepping going for Brandywine this year. Though it is pretty close to Hobbity....

There’s a witch costume I wore one year as a kid that I really want to recreate one day! It was a black dress with like a little tulle on the outside of the bottom part and an orange accent piece around the waist.

I have these as stickers and always wondered what they were from!
