I may have a couple! I'm gonna look for them! BTW, once thing that I know is the number of bird skulls used on the 'trim' .5 on each sleeve, 5 on the back upper trim of the neck and other five for the front part, as well as other 6 for the line that runs from the bossom to the waist in the front, 26 in total.
EDIT
k...so I only found these: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/-iitkcGxNsg/0.jpghttp://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ViwlpPjTtwI/T7eTxDbcv0I/AAAAAAAACiQ/LhLhSElWL0k/s1600/IMG_0017.PNG

I don't have anymore pictures, but I would recommend watching the costume featurette, which is somewhere in youtube, and another exclusive costume featurette from the MTV, as well as the blu-ray...Sorry for not being able to offer anymore help

My Selene-Underworld costume has taken priority over this build :$ I am trying to do these simultaneously, but it's a real challenge. This is what I have so far:
I purchased a grey taffeta skirt off eBay for $11.00 (!!!) as the base for my dress.
I have 30 resin skulls that I will attach to the bodice/corset.
I have the crown and some of the chains. I still need to add more closer to the chin.
I bought a pattern for the top layer and sleeves of the dress.
I found some black organza to use for the sleeves and the top layer of the skirt.
I found some lace for the sleeves but still need the buttons for the sleeves.
I bought some leather to make the "gladiator" strips at the base of the corset, as well as some random leather scrap strips I will use for the front of the corset. My intent is to paint these and then adhere them to a piece of lightweight leather cut into an inverted triangle shape and then attach this to the front of the corset. This will allow more flexibility for movement.
I still need a black satin corset with no laces and the adornments for the top of the dress.

Looking awesome so far!
Thank you! I am still looking for the little feather looking embellishments on the trim. I plan to use my time off from work next week to start sewing the dress. :thumbsup

Looks like marabou trim.

Lynn, sorry for the confusion. I am actually looking for the little silver/metallic embellishments on the trim. At first, I thought they were leaves, but given the theme of the dress, I guessed that they might be feathers instead. (see the next post for image) I've looked everywhere and done multiple web searches, but I have come up empty so far. :facepalm

The stuff between the skulls and the button-like spots on the neckline? It almost looks like a lace - maybe with the straight edges butted together to give you the effect of a double-edged lace.
Whatever it is, it appears to be very lightly gathered with the spots and the skulls serving to pin the lace down to the dress. Between the skull and the spots, the lace is sort of humped.
I have spray painted trim before to get the color I needed.
