Daenerys Targaryen has had several outfits over the course of Game of Thrones, and one of the most popular ones chosen by cosplayers is her ensemble from Qarth. It’s light and looks comfortable and though it’s not a simple costume, it would probably be relatively easy to make. Sonny Joon drafted her own pattern for the dress and made the wide belt to go with it. It looks like she crafted the webbed, metallic-looking band from craft foam. She applied the gold pattern to the fabric of the dress by hand with a sponge and gold metallic pigment. You can see a few pictures of the making of the cosplay below.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
