Squoor on the fabrics. That's a fabulous deal. I really wish i had the time/equipment to sew my own stuff these days.

The sleeves look just wonderful. Sadly, the only other still-shots i've seen are far less helpful than the one you've got.

I agree about the wig. If you can swing a longer one that you can bed-head up a bit, i think it would be cooler, but the one you've got looks great on you.

Thanks! I think I'm going to get a new wig. Wiki says "In the books, Bellatrix is described as a tall woman with sleek black hair, a thin mouth, dark, heavily lidded eyes, pale skin, and the Black family's patrician good looks and bearing..." The movie character breaks from that a bit on the hair and I've heard people complain about it. And I'll certainly be tall with my 4" heels! :P

I think the wig that I have now makes me look like Selma Blair a little bit. I was actually told that recently while not wearing it too. Weird. Here's a photo from a burlesque act that really accentuates it...lol.
