Game of Thrones: House Targaryen sigil dress

Hey
So here's another refashion of an existing dress. Like with the Totoro dress, I made a silhouette, but this time I had to make slight modifications to the dress first.

I bought this red dress off of Goodwill for 6€. It was expensive (yeah, 6€ is expensive to me!) because apparently it's by some Finnish designer I'd never heard of. Anyways. I think the dress was originally meant to be maxi length or at least ankle-length. What with me being a giant, it fell at that awkward length that's not quite midi and not quite maxi either. You know, the length that looks awful on anyone and everyone.

Awful length, but otherwise a nice dress.
(My camera doesn't seem to get the shade of red correct, it's a really nice red!)

So I marked the hem at my knee and cut off the excess fabric...

...and snipped off the sleeves a bit as well:

Then I hemmed the sleeves and the now-shorter dress hem and set out to create my stencil. I placed a piece of self-adhesive book cover on the dress and roughly measured the size of my stencil.

I found a Targaryen sigil stencil over at Free Stencil Gallery and simply flipped it over, because the neck of the dress is asymmetrical and I wanted the picture on the right shoulder, as opposed to the left.

I drew the stencil and cut it out.

I then proceeded to attach and paint over the stencil, and voilà!

My new Targaryen sigil dress is pretty damn awesome!

So, what do you think? :)
