I am totally making this for costume college. Sorry, all you Wassilissas out there, this one is mine!

I love this book. I came to know it as an adult, but I think Russian Wonder-Tales is my favorite book of folk tales ever. It's creepy and weird and dark, but there are still happy endings.

I am so thrilled with the idea of the redwork embroidery at the hem of Wassilissa's dress. Plus, this costume has props, and as [livejournal.com profile] jenthompson pointed out, props are awesome. I might go all out with the skull on a stick, and at the very least I will have to have the little wooden doll that carries her mother's blessing and helps her in all her trials.
