Construction Notes: I started out by buying a pretty basic bodice online, and then altering it when it came to fit better (taking out the stretchy panels, taking it up in the sides, permanently sewing shut the front opening), then put it on my dressforma and just started attaching leaves. It didn't take terribly long and was pretty simple. I did basically the same thing with the briefs/shorts - I bought a pair of swimsuit bottoms and covered them in the leaves. The gloves I made of green suede material, and attached leaves along the top. I bought the tights online, and made the crown of leaves as a last-minute replacement to what I was originally going to do. The most work went into the boots - I found a pair of boots I liked, added the extension I'd made, then made boot covers and glued it down onto the boots so it's permanent. Then added the leaves. I'm pretty happy with all of it, it was a simple costume and it was great fun to wear.
