Castlefest 2014

This past saturday I once again went to Castlefest (an annual 3 day event in Holland which has a medieval/fantasy theme), but this time I was really, really last minute about it. Without the time to finish a costume I chose for an Elsa inspired lolita outfit that I was already planning on doing sometime.

Outfit rundown; dress: Metamorphose, layer: BTSSB, crinoline: 4 O'Clock, rest offbrand

As I had to travel for about 2 hours to get to Keukenhof I got up pretty early to have plenty of time to finish my make-up (I'm always struggling with make-up, and this time I wanted to get the Elsa look). I used my own hair for the outfit and added little snowflakes, it was quite basic compared to my normal event costumes, but as a lolita outfit I really loved the final outcome.

Once I arrived at the venue there was a huge line for tickets (huge as in Disney huge :o), luckily Cat and Stefan were already inside with a ticket for me, allowing me to skip the queue.
Stefan was waiting with my ticket at the gate, and we soon met up with Cat and her mom. Cat was wearing an awesome dress from Haenuli with deers and bunnies.
It was great to once again taste the wonderful atmosphere these kind of events have. We walked around looking at the merchandise on sale, ate hemp bread, and just sat down looking at other people. There were notably less costumes in general and most of the costumes were also less impressive than previous years, but that was to be expected with the extreme heat we are experiencing currently (extreme heat in Holland is anywhere above 25 degrees C ;) ).
Time flew by and at about 19:30 I said goodbye and started my long journey back home.
