I made this costume as a budget-friendly version for someone who admired the other Dumbledore costume in this gallery. She didn't have the budget for a perfect recreation, so I worked within her means to create this costume. The under robe is made of cotton broadcloth, with a trimmed upholstery jacquard yoke. The over robe is made of self-lined cotton broadcloth. I hand-painted all of the details on the costume, so they would resemble embroidery, and also added some decorative stitches to the yoke. I created the center chest medallion by hand pleating some cotton fabric, and trimming the edges. The hat is made of jacquard, with custom-painted trim, and a decorative tassel.
