in another life.

In another life, I would make costumes for a living OR at least wear them all the time. 

I love this time of year and can't wait to make and/or alter costumes for some upcoming parties.  Here are some of my favorite costumes I’ve worn for Halloween in the past…

Princess Lolly

I made the crown, corset and giant lollipop.  I couldn’t have done it without my handy-dandy glue gun. Crown and corset are made out of real candy.  Nummy! 

Poison Ivy

I also made the corset for this costume. 

What I really enjoyed was gluing the leaves on my eyebrows.  I did a trial run a week before Halloween, but it still ended up taking 25 minutes to glue them on, the day of.  And it felt oh so fab-u-lous when I took them off later that evening.  Ouchie!  Hehee. 

Vampire Queen

This outfit was actually a combination of multiple costumes - Queen of Hearts, Catwomen & Vampire.  I had fun putting together this look and saved a lot of $$$ not buying or making a new costume. 

First Halloween costume of 2011... to be posted soon.
