Finally done! Spent more time than I would've liked designing her forelock and tail. Redesigned the pegasus wings from Fluttershy and experimented with a discrete piece for her covert feathers. No wires.
Am not sure what to make of the colour used for her body... I've seen reference pictures in varying shades and other artisans using turquoise minky. If it bugs me enough I might be tempted to try one in turquoise, but not anytime soon... I don't want to relive her nightmare of a tail just yet.
