The corset was made with shiny dance fabric, fully boned and backed with twill for support. On the surface, layers of clear vinyl squares were glued down to create an icy mosaic effect, dusted with iridescent cellphone glitter.

The Snow Queen's heeled shoes were repainted blue and silver, and decorated with a transparent vinyl snowflake detail.

The corset laces up in the back, and has an attached chiffon cape. The cape is decorated with several spray-painted snowflakes.

The seven-gored skirt is teal satin, overlaid with ice blue chiffon for extra sheen.
