I designed and made this costume because Goldberry is one of my favourite characters, and I felt she deserved more representation! Most of it is\u00a0handmade (including the waterlily), and the cloak is adapted from a vintage dress. The embroidery on the dress took the longest to make &#8211; I finished watching two seasons of Game of Thrones while making it!
