Halloween costume making
Oct. 20th, 2011 01:01 pmAm making a Halloween costume for a party being thrown by an American friend in Sydney (married an Aussie).
Picked out a 'Victorian Steampunk' dress - Simplicity 2172.
I started with a 'calico' or a test attempt in plain calico - which was a good thing, since I picked the wrong sizing. Apparently US size 12 is not the same as AU size 12.
Got that fixed, and now I'm having a difference of opinion about the sleeves:
( opinion? )
And while we're at costumes, a very cool link to an Offbeat Bride Wedding!
Team Awesome Wedding: San Diego Superhero Wedding
I'm not married, nor likely to be, but this would be SO MUCH FUN. And anyone I invite would totes have to come in fancy dress. Or possibly wear a mask (for my more staid sections of family).
