Kozi was likely the most intricate costume I have made.  Over 6 yards of red satin went into this costume, and I used at least 5 different types of gold lining.  One of the hardest parts of this costume was finding the red lace material that decorates the back of Kozi's cape.  

I was lucky to be able to make this costume at the same time as another costumer friend of mine, who gave me tips on how to make the jester hat work.  If you've never made one of these from scratch, you obviously haven't lived.  *laugh*  

One of the hardest parts to this costume were the sleeves, which required about 10 hours of work all on their own.  The zig-zag pattern on them needed lots of hand detailing, which was a blinding job to do.
