Talin's designs for costumes

The above costume on the right is my character's 1st party dress. it also has a big peacock tail in the back that's not drawn on this sketch. This is called the Peacock Dress. it's all black with colorful feathers.

The dress on the left is Tara's goddess costume (Light pink, organza) and the first costume we see her in. The costume to the right is Tara's funeral costume (white, gold and silver) for my character's funeral to the old self.

The costume on the left (black with silverish gold lace) is my character's first costume in the film and it portrays her frozen side disconnected from her inner voice. The costume to the right (grey skirt with beige blouse and black buttons) is what society dresses her up in.

I like the same colors being used with different textures
