Halloween Costume "Done"
The quotes are because I just have a few little things to do. Last night my costume fought me so hard but I came out victorious. My gathering thread on my skirt broke 3 times & when I did get it to work & sewed my skirt on my bodice, I realized my skirt was off center of the bodice. UGH! That meant taking the skirt off, regathering it (with success) & sewing it back on. What a pain in the backside. Once everything was put together I sewed on the black trim on the skirt. I sewed the trim on in scallops. The skirt needed some sort of design on it. I didn't over do the trims on this but I think it still looks really great. To finish I have black teardrop beads I will sew on the bottom of the gathers on the bodice & want to add the same beads (granted I have enough) to the "up" parts of the scallops on the skirt & possibly add some snaps in certain places. I plan to try on the costume & I hope it looks good. Sorry no pics at this time, I've just been too busy to post any. I promise to post some when I actually have it on. I currently have it on my dress form & it doesn't look very flattering. I'll likely post when I have the costume completely done & hair & makeup is done. That reminds me, I have to make my headpiece. I bought some faux hydrangeas that match the color of my dress perfectly. They're also sort of a velvety fabric so they look better than regulary faux flowers. And the best part, they were under a $1! I think that's all for now. Hopefully my next post will have pictures.
