I finished my costume... hooray! But I haven't taken the time to try everything on yet. Perhaps I should or I could be altering things at the last minute. But where's the fun in that? I find it to be more interesting to be in a screaming frenzy ten minutes before leaving the house. Anyway, it wouldn't be the first time that I actually had to sew myself into a costume.
This is my very expensive custom made dress form. Look closely. What do you see? If you answered duck tape then give yourself a gold star. To make it, Pap had the pleasure of wrapping two rolls of tape around my torso. It looks kind of weird but it works like a champ.
Believe it or not but this petticoat is made with 12 yards of fabric.
A very plain muslim top and a floral skirt that looks perfect for the civil war era.
To complete the ensemble, drapery still on curtain rod, tassel tie, and stylish little green hat.

I am so impressed! It's perfect and looks just like Carol Burnett's version. You are one talented lady.
Thanks Mags. But this costume is going to be freaking hot to dance in.
Wear a corset and some skivvies underneath and just shed the sucker if it gets too warm as you're boooogying down.
Hope you have a wonderful time on Halloween! I'm off to Texas for a wedding... should be fun!
