The halloween dress, yet again.

And again, with this dress, being that I have less than a month to finish it (and I'm usually doing homework or exausted FROM homework! But I'm learning! And that's a good thing! I think.) But I decided my dress wasn't exciting enough yet, so I made some spidery pannels for it a while ago.

I attached a rather-wobbly fake-silk (I couldn't bring myself to use real silk on a costume project) ruche (is that what isn't calledd? It's a row of box pleats, anyway) to the sides of it. I was a teeny bit worried about the wobbly-ness of it all, but now I like the uneven lengths because this is supposed to be a dress which isn't totally even all over. Whoever heard of a perfect halloween-themed dress?

I tried placing the small new pannels over my large spiderweb ones, but I don't like how it looks. (Too centered; covers the lovely spidery web print too much.)


The same, but better lighting. Note knitting. I might put the new pannels towards the back of the dress instead.... or towards the apron in front? I don't want too much orange in back, but can you have too much orange and black on halloween?

We've gotten some makeup for the outfit as well as looked for shoes. (Haven't gotten shoes yet, but I have like more than three weeks left before halloween!)

See, the black eyeshadow's SPARKLY! I love sparkles....

And the orange's just with a matte finish. It's lucky that I really found orange, matte or not... it's nearly impossible to find what you want for makeup/nail polish these days! Or maybe I'm just too picky.
