REVIEW: Daenerys Wig by Geisha Wigs

I purchased the wig for my Daenerys Targaryen cosplay from an english website callded: Geisha Wigs. The item I chose is called Khaleesi and you can find it here.

Wig Specification

The item is a light blonde wig made of synthetic fibers. The length of the wig is 70cm.

I purchased the wig for 22£. 

Description

The wig resembles Daenerys' hair in season 1 and 2, with a lot of volume and without a particular hair style, as in the Dothraki period.

Personally, I used the wig for the season 3 cosplay of Daenerys, when she has a more severe look, characterized by braids on the sides. To achieve this look I simply braided the long front strands and I fixed them in place with invisible elastics and some pins.

Even if not perfect (and I am actually really bad in working with wigs, since I don't have a dummy head to help me) I indeed really like the result. Moreover, the wig quality is good and this specific style allows me to use the same wig also for other Daenerys versions.

Final Opinion

The wig quality is really good compare to the price, however it does lose some fibers but this does not affect the final result of the wig that is indeed quite accurate compare to the TV version.
I would purchase this item again (or maybe one of the new version - see below)and I will definitely purchase new wigs from the Geisha Wigs Store since I enjoyed also their customer care service (I had some issues with the delivery that got lost twice and they sent the items again replying immediately to my emails).

Others 

Recently the store Geisha Wigs made 2 new wigs for Daenerys. If you wish to be closer to the book, you can purchase the new, braided version of the wig made in silver.

Instead, if you prefer, you can find another new blonde wig with already braids incorporated.

REVIEW: Daenerys Dress by Cosplay Sky

I purchased the blue Daenerys Targaryen dress, inspired by season 3 of Game of Thrones, from the company Cosplay Sky. This is the link to the dress I bought: http://cosplaysky.co.uk/game-of-thrones-daenerys-targaryen-dress-costume-uk.html

Dress specification:

Material:      linen

Lining:        yes (acetate, I guess)

Color:         bright blue

Size:           SMALL

Price:          53£ (or 81$, or 68€ )

Brand:        Cosplay Sky

Description:

The dress is really well made, with high quality material (linen) and completely lined. It has a convenient long zip on the back that make it easy to wear it. The shoulder parts do not show any visible sewing, suggesting a professional manifacture.

The color of the dress is a bright blue. This is very different from the dirty look of the TV serie. However, this may be easy to fix by doing tea-washing of the dress. Personally, I love the blue and I decided to keep it like that, also because I was scared to ruin it.

 

As mentioned, I purchased a size SMALL as suggested by the size charts provided on the website. It fits me perfectly (169cm, 55kg) but it may be on the short side if you are taller than 170cm (since the chart considers, for a size small, a height of 160cm).

Unfortunately, they do not have available a cape to match the dress. Personally, having used the dress for a late autumn convention, I made my very simple cape with hood by purchasing some bright blue linen fabric (that matched exactly the color of the dress! I was very lucky).

Final Opinion:

Overall, the dress has a great quality/price ration and I would definetely buy it again. Considering also the friendly staff and great customer service of Cosplay Sky, I am sure I will soon purchase a new costume.
