This costume was made in 2005, I wore it to Anime Expo, and again to CMJC, the big convention in Monterrey, Mexico, in March 2006. All these photos were taken by consplayers.com, thank you so much.
Construction notes: I have always loved creator Kosuke Fujishima's beautiful illustrations of Belldandy with the floating bow with sashes, delicate wings and fishtail dress, so I decided to combine my favorite elements into one outfit. I chose light pink instead of white because I didn't want my dress to end up looking too much like a wedding gown, and Belldandy is known to wear pink
.
The dress has hand stitched pearls scattered all over the front, boning for support and laces in the back. White sheer layers accent the flare at it's bottom as well as the shoulders, with a matching massive bow and draping sashes in the back.
I also made some jewelry for this costume, such as the necklace and some bracelets that I forgot to wear >_< at the con.
To create Belldandy's signature hairstyle, I started off with a multi-toned wig and added an insane amount of hair extensions to it. To match the wig's beautiful streaks and colors, I chose about 4 differently colored extensions and blended them together, cutting and trimming here and there. I then sewed the various pieces into the wig, creating the long bangs and ponytail, finishing everything off with the sheer sashes and flowers.
As for the wings, I made them in a similar way as the "Midnight Wings" black pair, but sticking fairly closely to the signature AMG style angel wings. I also needed these to be smaller, lighter and thus easier to transport. They fold together for transport and are fairly bouncy and adjustable, and the dress laces right over them.

Pony Spitfire: WHERE IS SHE? WHERE IS SHE?
Arya: I'm sorry, Miss Yukina, she was too much...even for me.
Human Sunset Shimmer: It's OK, Arya.
Pony Spitfire: Where is your mother? Where is Bellandy?
*Belldandy enters the room*
Belldandy Morisato: I heard someone say my name...oh, Spitfire! How nice of you to visit us!
Human Sunset Shimmer: She doesn't speak for the both us.
Pony Spitfire: You are supposed to be omniscient! Where is Rainbow Dash?
Human Sunset Shimmer: At her house? It's only two blocks away from here...
Pony Spitfire: Not that Rainbow Dash! I mean MY Rainbow Dash! The Pony Rainbow Dash!
Human Sunset Shimmer: And the reason you barged in here instead of just asking Princess Celestia is because...
Pony Spifire: I can't find Princess Celestia, either!
Belldandy Morisato: Why are you so upset, Spitfire?
Human Sunset Shimmer: Yeah, because this is so different from her usual behaviour...
Belldandy Morisato: Yukina! Don't be rude to our guest!
Pony Spitfire: Listen, my Rainbow Dash, the Pony Rainbow Dash, has been missing for two days now! It was supposed to be a clear day, and it hasn't stopped raining since! And it's all because she isn't present to do her job!
Belldandy Morisato: Well, your Rainbow Dash is in a conference in YakYakistan, and Princess Celestia is there, too. They'll both be back by tomorrow.
*Pony Spitfire speeds out the door and races towards the Portal*
Belldandy Morisato: Too bad she left in such a hurry, I was gonna invite her for tea...
Human Sunset Shimmer: Mom, I know you have this tendency to be kind and polite to everyone you meet...but the Pony Spitfire doesn't deserve it. None of the Pony Wonderbolts do. They treated the Pony Rainbow Dash like shit.
Belldandy Morisato: While it may be true that the Pony Wonderbolts were cruel and spiteful towards the Pony Rainbow Dash, they got their hearts in the right place. We shouldn't hold a grudge against them.
Human sunset Shimmer: I guess you are right...I guess I still have much to learn about being a demigoddess.
