I started my Halloween costume. Well, I bought the fabric and some accessories but I actually haven't started sewing my costume. I've been dealing with Lyme disease, again, and finally have the strength to get back to getting things done around the house, working out and just not feeling like garbage all the time. I will have a post about Lyme disease soon.
Anyway, back to the costume making. I actually am deciding on two costumes to make. I'll show you the patterns here. Both are from Simplicity.
First one is 8719 costume B. I love the new take on Frankenstein's bride. I have black boots already. I would also make the outfit in white also. I was thinking of getting this wig instead. I could use this wig for other costumes in the future
I also bought some white leggings and could also use it for the other costume. I would also get these gray wraps and sew them to fit my arms to look like her arm bandages.
Those boots are awesome and if your interested in getting them, you can buy them at Demoniacult.
These would be great for scars.
My other costume idea is Simplicity 8971. I would make it into a ghost and not an Ice Queen. I bought the fabric at Fabric Whole Sale Direct. The fabric was inexpensive. I received my order within two days. I haven't opened the package yet as I've been working and wanted to wait until I had the time to look at it while not being so tired from work. I will put a post on the cutting out the costume and the fabric itself.
This costume needs a lot(and I mean a lot) of fabric.
I had to buy probably 30 or more yards of fabric and I still didn't buy fabric for the scales on the corset or lace around the neckline.
I like to do an dye on my costume. All my fabric is white and would like to dye an ombre of black on the bottom of it.
I like this wig here for the price.
These nails for claws.
I also want to paint my fingers black like Wanda in Dr. Strange.
I am also thinking on a crown but I will most likely make it myself. Something like this below.
I hope to get started soon and I will put up pictures of the process. It might be two costumes, who knows.
