I'm allowed to dress up for Halloween at work this Friday so I've decided to dress as a fairy. I LOVE dressing up. I love making the costumes. Or at least, piecing them together.
I already have the clothes for it, or near enough; a pink bubble skirt that I absolutely adore, and a tank top I bought on eBay a while ago that looks to be made of scraps of fabric and lace.
I've made some wings with wire and cellophane and a tonne of glitter. I think they look really nice. Maybe a little impractical... but ehh. I have a short shift on Friday. I can't get a picture right now as they're in another room and I'm lazy, haha.
And tonight I finished some fingerless gloves to go with my costume:
I've been wanting to make something like this for ages, but never got around to it until now. They're inspired by Alice's gloves in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland:
So now all I have to do is make some origami butterflies to pin on places and find a nice way to add some flowers to my hair. Fake ones, as I don't want to be sneezing all night.
And I should think about how I want to do my makeup. I was thinking like Violet Baudelaire from A Series of Unfortunate Events, during the wedding scene:
With the blush? But I'm not sure. I bought some cheap little star things that are meant as nail decorations, and some eyelash glue to stick them to my face haha. I'll have to post a picture in a blog of what I end up looking like.
Who else is dressing up for Halloween?
