Daenerys Targaryen (Khaleesi) Cosplay Costume

I am a huge fantasy buff and I LOVE making costumes. I don’t make them very often and I have no particular skill set that enables me to create them of any specific quality, but I do love stepping out of the box and attempting a challenge. So, since I have gotten myself obsessively hooked on HBO’s Game of Thrones, which is based off of George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire novels, for Halloween I decided to be one of my favorite characters: Daenerys Targaryen.

Khaleesi Daenerys Targaryen costume inspiration.

What do you think? Below is the final product. It took around 4 days to complete, not full days, but minimum 5 hours each day,  and I never ended up using my sewing machine (all hand stitching!).

And of course, being the video blogger I am, this costume wouldn’t be complete without two making-of vlogs. Enjoy!

SORRY: Costume is NOT for sale.

    Hey Nadine!! (see what I did there). Admittedly I did just register 5 minutes ago for the chance to win a postcard. But nonetheless, I’m a huge fan. I’ve been subscribed to both your YouTube channels since you were living with Olga in California, and I was hooked. I also liked you page on facebook. I realize now how stalker-ish that all sounds… I swear I’m not a stalker though.

    Anywho, your costume is just amazing. I don’t watch Game of Thrones but from what I can tell by the pictures of the actual character and you, it’s just about spot on. Bravo Nadine :)

    HI!
    I just wanted to say that you’re so creative! I can’t believe that you used a toy sewing machine (And fabric, of course) :O lol
    I’m going to be completely honest, I only just signed up a couple minutes ago on your website when I heard about the post card thing. . .. Don’t send me to jail! Anyway I remember when I saw the video about grapples, and I was addicted since <3 :) I also love watching your vlogs. Like most people I started to watch your videos when you first moved in with Olga, and I was kind of sad when you moved out :/
    On that somewhat depressing note, Love your videos and please please give me a post card :)

    • Brittany :) says:

      lol I fail xP scratch out the toy machine part and add in that you did it by hand (That’s what she…. wait…… THAT’S WHAT I SAID lol)

  5. Jasmine Liu says:

  11. lindsey says:

    this is so cool because i was just thinking about reading the book series that the tv series is based off of!!!! you are amazing!! and i would love to get a postcard from you- i bought one before and i got a great wall of china one! it is really cool thanks!!!!!!xD

  12. Amy says:

    It’s a really good costume, but I think one little improvement could be to have the garments appear dirty, and to give you skin a slight dirty appearance as well. Over all though it’s really great, and fairly accurate

  13. Hanna Lynn says:

    I really like your costume. I am going to try to make one, the only problem is that I want to make it for Comic Con..which is on saturday. So I’ll need to hustle. Any advice would be appreciated!

  14. Mercedes says:

    Ahhhhhh I’m really trying to find this costume!!!!!! I was looking up how to make daenerys costume when I found this, and your YouTube video brought me here, and well yeah.

  15. Nicole says:

    Awesome!! The hair could use more braids ;) but otherwise: very well done! Too bad the costume is not for sale…

  16. Kelsey says:

    Hi! I absolutely LOVE the costume! I’m going to Castle McCulloch for a Halloween event this year and I couldn’t think of any costume better than Kalessi and Drogo (for my BF)! Is this costume for sale? I would love to purchase it! you did a FAB job!

    <3 Kelsey
