Valkyrie (Battle Angel) Costume with Magic Bow

[Note: I will continue to build-out this instructable over the next few days]

This instructable describes how I put together a valkyrie or "battle angel" costume for my 11-year old daughter for Halloween 2011.

This project consists of the following main parts:
Part 1: Clothing (shirt / doublet and skirt)
Part 2: Armor (helm, corselet, vambraces, shoulderguard / pauldron, leg guards / greaves, and foot guards)
Part 3: Angelic wings
Part 4: Magic bow (that lights up!)
