Re: What were your fav Halloween costumes?

(Anonymous) 2019-11-01 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Probably my Once Upon a Time Belle dress. It’s not as impressive as my Phantom of the Opera Christine costumes, but it’s the most comfy and practical to wear since it’s linen with a cotton lining in the bodice and short enough that it’s easy to move in.

I custom-dyed the linen, modified a bodice pattern to move the bust darts and add a second bust dart, made the bias bodice trim from ultrasuede, cartridge pleated nine yards of skirt into a waistband, hemmed it by hand, and patterned the cloak and skirt myself. Also I lucked out and found the same fabric used in the onscreen cloak for sale on ebay. And it was the first costume I made that can survive being thrown in the washing machine.

My Christine costumes are pretty cool and I like that for one of them I recycled a bunch of thrifted clothes for the fabric and some of the trim, but they have trains and are made of stuff that’s hard to wash.

When I was a kid apparently my mom gave up trying to make me stop wearing the bunny costume she made me when Halloween was over.

When I was a teen I took my dead maternal grandma’s wedding dress that mom’s asshole dad had ruined by putting it in the wash and made myself up like a ghost bride. Another year I made some disturbingly organic looking fairy wings.

I love Halloween and dressing up.
