102809 Costume for My Velcroe

I made a costume for Emily of My Velcroe, for the Halloween show at HM157.  It was actually really miraculous - I made it in only 3 days, with all recycled fabrics, and only one fitting the night before the show!  This was the first time I had made high-waisted shorts, and I’m quite pleased with the results ::

Emily dancing with her Bear

She wanted a 1920’s-esque bathing suit and a jacket with a detachable cape.  The cape was already removed by the time I got my camera on the right setting :(  I had the striped fabric left over from the Absinthe Faerie show I helped do costumes on.  Emily found the fabric for her jacket at a thrift store, it’s a really intricate knit of a bubbly pastel jungle.  The jacket is lined with pinstripe fabric that was going to be thrown away at my work.  One person’s trash, sucka!

I think she had killed the Bear at this point in the show

Oh yeah, her shirt has a bow tie too!  And tails in the back :)  So cute!
