Good enough to eat - Candy costume

It's been a while since I wrote here as I have a blog on my website now but i'd like to continue with this blog too!
Here's a costume I made 2 years ago and it was inspired by the Marie Antoinette film by Sofia Coppola. The costume is modelled by gorgeous burlesque dancer Hurricane Irina, photos taken by Jose Bäßler and make up by Johanna Blackstone. The outfit consists of a rouge red satin under bust corset, nipple tassels and a bon bon skirt, which is a metal frame, made the same as the panniers used in 18th century costume. The frame is then covered with black and white striped cotton fabric and finished with red and white candy swirls and red fringing. All these items can be found on my DaWanda online shop!
