Halloween is 20 days away and I’ve done nothing on my Halloween costume. I’ve got all the stuff for it! I just haven’t done anything. But then, that’s to be expected, since I’ve been house sitting, and then out of town this past weekend.
I’ve got a base hat I’m going to use. I need to strengthen the brim and cover it in my black fabric, and find my red feather to put on it…
I’ve still got to buy my basic white shirt – I’ve found one I like, I just need to order it.
I got the fabric for my vest and it’s lovely! black and red brocade.
Got my corset – haven’t decided if I’m going to cover it or just wear it as is.
I haven’t figured out what to do about the belt.
I decided to use my Anna Valerious pants to save money, so that’s done.
The boots I’ve had, I just need to cut the top off and make them taller.
The jacket is the main part that’ll take a while. I wanted some faux leather for it but couldn’t find anything decent at the fabric store – but I did find some nice black faux suede for 50% off and bought the whole bolt. I really like it for this, except I’m worried that it’ll show up more grey in photos than black. May have to look at dying it. Also, thanks to Halloween sales, got some nice deep red velvet for lining the sucker.
Yeah with all those layers i’m going to DIE on Halloween! That’s ok! It’ll be fun!
And now, the cuteness…
I couldn’t decide between Vader or Leia, so I bought them both. Vader fits her better than Leia (Leia was marked small, but I think it’s really a medium – it’s a good inch longer than the Vader – the shoes kept coming past her feet) so she’s going to be Vader.
She did not like wearing these at all at that moment… look how ashamed she is! She’ll love it once she gets attention though.
And also…
Me and R2 at Horrorfest on Saturday..
