The Guardian
of the Enchanted Garden
She is the protector of the Enchanted
Realm and the Keeper of the Key. Enveloped in flowers and bathed in light, she glides through the Realm.

The Costume
This nymph costume was created with mermaid silhouette in a thick nude satin. It has a built-in hoop petticoat and multiple layers of tulle.
The dress is covered in artificial flowers. They are strategically placed to wrap around the body.
These flowers are sewn and glued on and each flower has been spray painted with a light layer of white paint to dull the saturated colours a bit in order to create a more cohesive look.
The original costume also has a large white key prop. This was created using Worbla. And it also had a long heather purple cape in a tulle with crystals.
