So to quickly recap the year in costumes...
LeeLoo
This was a very last minute attempt to make a LeeLoo costume for a "Cowboys and Aliens Bop". The majority of the costume was relatively easy apart from the braces. There's a fantastic tutorial on how to make proper silicon braces here: ihttp://jiajem.com/tutorials/leeloo-suspenders/ but lacking time and equipment, I went hunting in my favourite costume supply shop - Primark! - and found a cheap pair of orange jeans...the whole thing took about 3/4 hours.
Alice in Wonderland:
favourite part of this was by far the face paint!
Halloween:
Tea-stained ripped up sheets....nightmare to make...
Vaudeville Rave:
Pity I don't have better photos of this - but the dress was a ball gown that I completely ripped apart and added a corset to. Fantastic night!
Woodstock:
Hippy Love (new use for my "regency dress")
Anything BUT clothes:
I think my favourite costume from last year! Yes, that is rolls and rolls of "Fragile tape"
Sub-fuscing it up:
Technically not fancy dress - but I think my huge bow should be introduced as officially part of the dress code - way neater instead of those silly ribbons!
And finally - 1920's Birthday Party:
:)
