Hiya! Not sure if people still use this forum but I found it on google so thought I would post anyway!
I've just started making my Battle Jadis costume! I will be wearing this at the end of may to MCM London 2016.
I started by buying a lot of hair
I'm lazy and didn't want to have to make the dreads for the wig myself, so I bought premade ones! I also bought a load of kanekalon for the mane so i can do the latchhooking method (ended up having to order 3 more packets as i ran out today oops!)

Had to stop though just a few loops from finishing all the front half as i'm out of hair. So the back just doesn't have any of the blonde hair yet!

The stuff is good though, when sprayed silver on the front and black on the back it can look very effective. Used it for chainmail for my Brienne of Tarth costume from Game of Thrones!
