Here's what I had left of the spiderweb fabric before I started the apron ruffles! Box pleats take a lot of fabric, see... I had to piece, obviously. 
Here's some of the flowers I put on our counters the morning after my grandfather passed away... totally un-pertaining to Halloween, but pretty anyway. But sad. Aren't the prettiest things sad, though?
Oh, and here's the MOUSE that was in my lil sis' bounce house! hehe
Anyway back to present. I pieced a fair amount of the spiderweb fabric into a box-pleated ruffle, and attached a piece of plain black cotton ( ? unsure of content) at the top.
Here's skirt attempt one! Kinda a boxy shape, don't you think?
The box-pleated trim with another box-pleated ruffle attached on top of the black cotton. You can't see it but there is another, white, pleated ruffle on the other side. So fun to sew through all those layers of fabric! Not. I bent a needle!
YAY dress pics! Okay, without correct hair or makeup, but still.... yes I'll be changing my lace colors.
Yes, I am wearing a witchy hat. I was *trying* to cover my not-so-costumey hair.... which is a mess anyway in these photos. I need it cut again.... =P
The back, with my wings. I'm not wearing gloves; that's just the wings.
I'll be changing the necklace as well.... do y'all like my chemise? Isn't it so cute with the little sleeves? I totally love it!
The front. Note stockings.
Yes, i'm looking over the banister rail. This is because my lil sister and her friend decided I absolutely MUST wear my wig, even if I didn't pin it into my hair, and the wig was downstairs....
See? Wig! Not pulled up like it should be!
The final cut of the apron. Cute, I think. The apron will be double-sided.
Lol teaser pic for apron! I'm wearing it over my 18th century chemise, because I haven't made a shirt for it yet. This will probably be the final time you see my teeth, lol, I got braces today. Black, to match the costume. Though I must practice keeping my mouth shut. Cuz my neighbor has spotted it already.
Lookie halloween stuff on a chair! Note lil pink stroller belonging to sis.
