Moondrop Costumes Novels & Stories

The scent of pine and burning sage lingers in the air, meant to purify the moment. I stand near the fire, my heart pounding. My dress is deep crimson, the colour of passion and permanence. The bodice is fitted but not restrictive, embroidered with silver thread in the shape of swirling star patterns. A flowing cape falls from my shoulders, edged with Misfit and Starlight symbols-proof that two worlds are becoming one. Lyric, Luna, and Selena stand beside me, each adorned in dresses of dark blue and silver, their hair braided with tiny moonstone beads.

I whispered, not knowing if I spoke to myself, to them, or to the moon. By the time I stepped out, my skin was fragrant, my hair lay damp along my back. I drew on a thin silk robe and went to the coronation dressing room. The hush there was deeper than usual; the wolves’ shadowed silhouettes on the walls seemed to echo the tread of the ancestors. Beside the dais my gown awaited: Luna attire, silver and midnight. Soft in its fall, unwavering in its carriage. Moon-embroidery at the breast, a belt set with moonstone cinching my waist. A sheer mantle lay over my shoulders, sparking with each movement like pure moonlight.

Agustin, alumnus Dion’s mother. First, the candidates do some ramp modelling on stage wearing otherworldly costumes made of recycled materials: old newspapers, discarded CDs, the plastic wrappers of chips, seashells, used fabrics and so on. Francine is wearing a papier-mâché of twisting pythons on the back of her gown like a cross between Dr. Octopus and Medusa. Lor helped her make the whole thing. Her escort is wearing a costume a la Pyramid Head in Silent Hill, complete with bucket-stilts under his skirt, a pyramid-shaped helmet made of old mosquito nets, and a giant knife made of wood but painted silver (by JM). In the end, Kate is beaming with pride when she announces Team STEM 12 as the

But if she messed up or stood in one place for too long, or dared to look at someone in the eye when they greeted her, she'd have hell to pay for later. She found the costume in one of the dozens of drawers in Rhonda's walking closet. It was a black tunic that Rhonda had worn over five years ago when she was thirteen years old. As she held it up, Adriana realized it would barely cover her thighs. But she had to make a quick decision. She couldn't come down with the same clothes she was wearing, and she didn't want to put on anything else in Rhonda's closet. Either choice would merit some sort of physical punishment on behalf of Rhonda or Luna Mona.

ELIZABETH: The night air was electric with anticipation as I slipped into my costume, a stunning batwoman outfit that hugged my curves just right. I couldn’t help but admire myself in the mirror, the way the black fabric shimmered under the dim light, making me feel both fierce and glamorous. Beside me, my best friend Cheryl was putting the final touches on her Cleopatra costume. The golden accents of her outfit sparkled like sunlight, and her dramatic eye makeup only added to the regal vibe she radiated.

Calden The four days of the Moon Festival always feel like a long, exhausting chore, but everything builds toward this final, main day. The pack house grounds are packed tonight, full of visiting Alphas, elders, and high-ranking wolves from all over. Lanterns hang across every path, lighting up the stone walkways, and the air smells of roasted meat and wine. I stand near the edge of the terrace, my eyes searching the crowd, looking for one specific face. When I finally see Jodie, my breath catches in my throat. She looks beautiful. She is wearing a silver and blue dress that catches the light with every step she takes, making her look completely like the Luna of this pack. Her dark hair is s

“Today is just making it official.” A sharp knock interrupted whatever I was about to say. “Sophie!” Jessica's voice came through the door. “We need to get you ready!” Christian groaned. “They're early.” “They're excited.” I kissed him quickly and climbed out of bed, wrapping a sheet around myself. “Let them in before they break down the door.” Maria and Jessica burst in carrying what looked like a wedding dress made by wolves. “Holy shit,” I breathed. “Traditional Luna robes.” Maria held up the white silk, which was covered in intricate silver embroidery. “Every Shadow Ridge Luna has worn these and added her own embroidery.”

My eyes warmed as I felt the familiar feeling of Mother Selene come to the forefront, but unlike before, she didn’t take the reign. “No! What are you doing!” Dark roared, his hold growing stronger, but I ignored it. I felt Jasper’s hand slip into my left hand at the same time that Alpha Allison gripped my right, and to her right stood Alpha Devin. “Let’s make this a fair fight, why don’t we?” I sneered at the same time that Dark stepped down from his makeshift podium. “I’ve waited a long time for this.” His lips curled upward in disgust. Letting go of their hands, I reached into my pocket to retrieve the Moonstone.

Soon as we were done with food and decorations placing, Annie, Lizzy, and I went to my room to get dressed as Mandy was there waiting for us to help us out. Mandy gave me the dress she picked up from the tailor that was made especially for this occasion today and the moment I opened the cover that was over the dress, a gasp left my lips at the beauty of the dress. It was a long, ivory dress with an open back and lace that covered all over the fabric in tiny patterns of white seashells and pearls all over the dress. There were high heels the same color as my dress waiting in the bag for me to wear as I walked towards the bathroom to put on my new dress.

Hell, even your average seventeen year old. The dress she did settle on, the one she was pulling out, was a midnight blue. It did hug her but it flared out into a typical ballgown. The sticker price on the dress had been astronomical and I knew the last three months I had worked went to that dress. But I felt better that it didn’t go to another designer purse for Melissa. It was Maddie’s first Gathering and she should have something special. “You know, maybe the Alpha from the Harvest Moon pack is coming. Maybe I’ll be his Luna. He’s been waiting for me this whole time.” She twirled, holding the dress up to her.
