Costume complete

[auntiemeesh]

I spent the better part of today figuring out how to be a Princess In A Castle, and with an hour and forty-five minutes to spare, I'm finished. I've built myself a sandwich placard castle, complete with portcullis and functioning drawbridge. I made a medieval princess hat (the tall, conical kind with gauzy stuff coming out the top) that sort of stays on my head - oh, I still need to put an elastic strap on that, so not quite done - and I've decided on an outfit. Shift from Calvieri girl outfit, bodice and skirt from Five, and combat boots (a castle needs a strong foundation). I'll be sure to get pics of the whole outfit tonight, but in the meantime, here's Mal storming the castle.



To complete the proper look, I (almost certainly ill-advisedly) took a scissors to my bangs in order to trim them down to reasonable length. I then proceeded to mousse and spray my hair down so tight not even a hurricane would budge it. Which means it should be good for another ten minutes or so. Now I just need to figure out make-up and I'll be all set.

Your costume sounds terrific! Can't wait to see pix. Have fun at the party!

Thanks. I have a feeling I might have had more fun making the costume than I will at the party (I will only know one person).

Thanks. I have to give all credit to the kids at work for this one, lol.

Sounds wonderful! Can't wait for the pics. Looks to me like Zoe might have been getting ready to storm the flank of the castle too.

Zoe has been staging some small attacks on the flanks.

I'm impressed with the kids at work for their idea, but more at you for figuring out how to DO it! Have fun at the party :)

It all sounds brilliant. You are so creative. I can wait to see how it looks. Mal seems impressed.
Have a great time!(Or maybe you have already *had* a great time. The party may be over now.)
