I've always loved masquerade (paper faces on display...) so you can imagine my delight when I realised you can practically wear anything in Oxford and get away with it.... in fact wandering around in full costume is seen as quite normal! After a year of BOPs, fancy dress and black (not even to mention white) tie, my wardrobe has become unsurprisingly cramped with all manner of unusual apparel. Who knows what the coming year will bring....there are even plans for an investment in a sewing machine! Therefore, the propose of this blog is to document the highs and lows (mostly highs...of course!) of my (and my partners in crime - the lovely Amber and the wonderful Claire) costuming exploits and experiments.
Also, when my poor wardrobe finally gets to breaking point I may be forced to start selling off some of my created, acquired and purchased creations...and what better way to do it then via a blog (well there are better ways...but this will do for now!).
Here are a few of our past attempts......to be fair most of these were last minute rush jobs! :) :)
1920s...Flappers...
1950s....American High School... Grease was the word..
Wild Wild West....dress made out of a curtain
Australian Bop...
And to Mexico....
And out came the Blonde wig for an "M" themed party....
FBI...SWAT...
Happy Christmas....maybe not the most dance friendly outfits....
