For: Women

Style: Hipster, Retro / Vintage, Cute, Funky


Materials

boning, satin, feather boa's, interfacing and fringe

What was your inspiration?

Found a picture of this costume and thought I would have a lot of fun making this instead of buying it and may have to alter it to fit. Besides the one I found did not have a skirt on it, instead it had ruffled bloomers you could buy for addition. I like to be a little more covered and thought the skirt was better for me.

What are you most proud of?

I am proud of the whole thing, It turned out just the way I imagined it

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Take your time, this is not an over night project.
