I had been desperate to incorporate ostrich feathers into a costume for ages. the bodice hasn't photo'd well - the front was wrapped in black ostrich feathers (like the black swan in swan lake) but there are also accent peacock feathers at the waist and going down the front of the skirt
I made this costume for a production at my sons school – it was a base ball gown with a ragged tulle skirt, bustier feather covered bodice and satin bolero jacket. Getting the feathers to stay up at the neck took some engineering. I basically made a quiver type construction (archery arrow case). The collar had 2 layers of buckram sewn into individual channels. Each feather went into a single channel
