Probably the prettiest of my Midsummer's night dream project for Costume Design. The only problem I have with her is her arm (no matter what it likes to look WRONG >.<;)

This is cobweb, one of Titania's servants. I differed from Shakespeare's story by making her female. I did so because I have always seen cobweb as a female, and I felt that Titania needed at least two female servants.

Cobweb I can see being the most vain of her servants and probably in charge of arranging social events and fashions for the queen. Titania and cobweb probably have a lot in common and are close friends... well as close as servant and master could hope to be. I also want in the play it to be a bit ambiguous as to whether Cobweb is Titania's lesbian toy or just a favorite servant of hers.

As for her outfit, the items she has in her hand is a mirror (I know no one can tell XP sorry about that). I found one of them at renfair and fell in love with how they look. It's a giant fan of feathers that has a small mirror on one side. The wonderful thing about them is that you can wear them as decoration. A definite plus for cobweb.

Her dress I designed so that she had see through fabric with cobweb designs and probably some glitter on it to simulate a gossamer. I also wanted to show her hoopskirt so that even when she is backlit you get a sense of a cobweb.

The hardest part about designing cobweb was to keep her outfit simple enough so that she wouldn't seem more formal than Titania. I think showing the hoopskirt helps keep her from being truly formal.

Wow... that *is* one nice dress/gown/costume...

And on her arm, I don't really think there's nothing wrong with it, but it's probably because of the lighting... oh and if you compare it with her other arm, I think it's slightly shorter. Maybe that's why?

Anyway, it's still very pretty-looking! ^_^

I think the arms are both fine. I have no idea which arm you're having an issue with. =P

Beautiful job :heart:
