How to Cosplay Narcissa Malfoy

The costume

1. 
   Wear good quality clothing. Narcissa came from a wealthy, pure blood family, so it is certain that her clothes would be new and in very good condition. You can look at pictures of her online for inspiration, but she mainly wore green and black robes.
2. 
   Make the outfit. The first thing you need is a ruffled tan shirt. It should preferably have a puffy collar. If you find a shirt with a ruffled collar and sleeves, but don't like some ruffles, you can cut them off. Save the ruffles for making the pants, but don't cut off all the ruffles, it is an essential part of her costume.
3. 
   Find a pair of light brown leggings. They should be tight, but not too tight. Sew the ruffles on the ankles and a little bit up the calves. The ruffles on the calves should make a curved upside down V when the pant legs are pressed together.
4. 
   Wear a black cape. To make one, pick up a big swath of black fabric (satin is best) and make sure it reaches your ankles. Cut holes for your arms to go through and add sleeves that droop at the wrists. Cut off any excess fabric and sew it on to create a hood. Finally, add some silver embellishments to make it shine. Add a silver clasp at the neck to hold it together. If you want, you can also add a Slytherin crest, as that was Narcissa's house.

   1. You can also purchase a ready-made cape or ask to borrow one.
5. 
   Find a pair of black shoes. These should be plain, and preferably flats, although heels will work as well. If you choose heels, make sure you know how to walk in them a few day before the event you're dressing up at without tripping on the robe.
