https://www.fabric.com/buy/0450609/foil-lame-knit-spandex-black - Hobby Lobby option ran like crazy when stretched. Found this stretch lame cheaper than the faux leather, which is great because shipping is outrageous. Ordered 4.5 yards.

**Dye fabric for yoke from silk scraps and dye stock.

Accessories:
- Black heels

- White wig
-----Style help on Firekeeper wig from sister?
-----$10 wigs at Michael's craft stores
- Seashell necklace - Hobby Lobby? Purchased pendant or find a shell and paint it. - Found a shell!
- Blue eyeshadow, red lips, dark everything else on makeup.
- Press-on nails painted to match lips

Estimated total cost: $52.74

Later add-ons?
- Flesh-colored tulle panel for back of dress. Embroider shell with two eels wrapped around it in a bed of seaweed?
