She sews! Okay. So today in church (well highschool youth group for me) they announced that they'd be doing SOMETHING for the highschoolers for halloween, of course that made me think "I'll go just so I can wear a costume!" This costume, of course. It's really THE costume for halloween. So I got cracking tonight (before the weekend ends). 
The peplum, just off the dress. It kinda got shaken as I took the other parts of the dress off to hem them, and I wanted pics.... The length that the peplum hangs is that fold line on the side; see it? I'm terrified to cut the peplum down yet, though, I need a fitting first, with my corset and everything. 
My mum found my missing spiderweb fabric, yay, it was hidden in the family room.... note kid toy. 
Here's the tag that's been on my wing pannels so I won't get them mixed up with my other fabric. (I can sense people saying "What? Wing pannels? She never said anything about wing pannels!")
The short little chemise I'm not going to wear, in favor of a standard black cami! Because a cami is so much more practical! 
My skirt without all those hangings. 
...And finally my wig on somebody! She works, right?!?! 
See? What a cute widdle munkee.
The wig should work quite nicely, I think, once I style it with fabric scraps and riboon. And maybe a haircut. Oh and curlers and gel and aquanet..... hehe
Note knitting and exersise bike, the latter of which belongs to my mother.
Actually the wig is quite small and managable WHEN it is in a net.
So my next part was wings! I was planning to use orange and black ribbons to tie the wings onto my arms, but didn't want to cut into my ribbon yet unless it turned out wrong. I messed around for a while, trying to figure out what to do for practice, when I went "Right! Hair ribbons! And they're in my bathroom, which has a nice big mirror for pictures!" When I used to have long hair, I had to cut my ribbons quite long, so some of them were long enough to tie around my arms.
....So I pinned the ribbons onto the fabric, and this is what I came up with. Dorky pics, sorry, but they give the main idea. I'll have to give the wings a bat-wing-cut around the edges, rather than this rectangle.
They lift quite nicely though, if I do this for the real wings, I'll have to attach another teeny ribbon at the top of the fabric to tie around my pointer finger, to keep the fabric in the right shape. You can see here that I'm just holding it up.
The same.
And lower down. Note messy counters. My only (current) complaints about the wings are that the top ribbon is slipping off my shoulder (that will be annoying to fix over the course of the night) and that the whole thing makes my arms look really wide. Not nice.
Furthermore display of complaint 2, and my ribbons. Lovely butterflies....
Here's the tie around the wrist. No, it won't be pink with white butterflies in the final.
And finally, because I thought it was so neat, some of my halloween ribbon, which I've worn in my hair in the month of october for a few years now. I like to receive weird looks for people at school/stores/ect. Maybe that's why I don't have many friends....
