Maleficent Costume Tutorial Part 2: How to Make the Easy DIY Dress

This dress is mostly based on the Maleficent costume from christening scenes in the Maleficent movie, with a little artistic liberty taken to simplify it.

How to Make a Maleficent Costume Dress Easy

I was fortunate enough to find a nice black stretch velvet dress and a long shirt made of the same material for a couple of bucks each at the Salvation Army. Cutting up the shirt gave me enough material to make the drapey sleeves, characteristic of the Maleficent costume. It’s actually what I used to wrap the horns as well, as I had enough extra material to make the whole ensemble match.

(If you missed the horns and staff tutorial last week, you can watch it here) You don’t need to use stretch velvet, however, just any black dress with something matching that you can cut up for the drapey sleeves will work for this Maleficent costume.
