After finishing all decorative aspects of my costumes prototype the construction has raised some problems when it comes to balancing the head dress so the children are able to move freely without it falling forward or back as well as slipping down below their eyes.
The original plan for the neck was quite a coned design this mean the top for the cone supporting the head of the sea horse was not a wide point of balance this has mean the neck has been changed from a cone design to more of a tube allowing more support around a larger area of the head.
A spilt at the bottom back of the neck was made in the first neck piece to allow a lower positioning on the head however this didn’t really achieve much more balance - this just means all head dresses will have to be made a little larger and padded with plastazote to sit in the correct position on the children’s heads. The plastazote will also create friction to stop the head dress slipping as well as act as padding to create a more comfortable fit.

Also the Cable ties at the back of the head are pulling the head dress backwards, this has meant i have had to readjust the heads and dip the nose of the se horse down creating more weight at the front to balance the head accordingly.
