Jem Broadway Magic Collage

Another addition to my Jem costume collection. This dress according to the dress code label for the cartoon is called Broadway Magic. I made the dress from a hot pink taffeta. It has a foundation lining underneath in china silk and I manually hand pleated the front and back of the dress like the cartoon version. The top has an interfaced and boning structure for stability.  I added an invisible zipper up the side seam. My original zipper ran off it's track so I had to use a light pink zipper to complete the dress. 
The white ruffle is also hand pleated and sewn into the seams up the sides. This is probably one of the more complex Jem dresses I have made, this and Glitter N' Gold. 
This dress requires lots of maintenance with the pleats; they need to be pressed out each time before wearing.
The wig is still my Epic Cosplay wig in pink vanilla fusion. I cut the layers into it and added additional wefts for volume.
I wore this costume to Jemcon 2014.
My sister did the makeup for this one as well. I really like the contrast of the light pink makeup to the shade of pink in this dress.
