The Moulin Rouge Costume



This Costume was inspired by The Moulin Rouge and Paris. I looked at The Moulin Rouge both historically and the Baz Luhrmann film interpretation. I wanted the Windmill to be the main feature on the costume, as it's so iconic to The Moulin Rouge. I also included an appliqued Eiffel Tower and Elephant as they too as very famous. I really embellished the Windmill blades, by using a wire frame and trapping of embroidery and illustration in-between. I using reverse applique, applique, batik wax, quilting and dissolvable fabric.
