A look into my Phantom design: Hannibal Princess

I haven't drawn or designed anything Phantom-y for a long while now. So I want to show some insight on my costume designing (I guess lmao)

I always want my Hannibal to be grand, very risqué (but no midriffs!) and kind of Belle Époque exoticism. Furthermore, I strive for 1880s bustle silhouette in my costumes so I started Hannibal scene with the Hannibal Princess because I love @motherfuckinghannibalprincess so much.

I took a bit of Björnson's design (mostly the iconic apron drape) and added my own flair with asymmetric bodice, strings of beads and elongated earrings that connect to each other under the wearer's head. The tiara is in a bandeau style with wacky center.

This picture features the bustle draping design and the early concept from 2020. The bustle style is inspired from late 1870s Harper's bazaar fashion plate that I will refit it on 1880s silhouette.

The early concept has so many Björnson's influence which I am not loving. (I mean who would want their own design to be a hard referenced version of the original anyway)

So that's the post! I hope you enjoy some look into my little design project I do for fun 😊 I'll try to draw more Phanart soon!
